Bt18 to Genting Peras on Scott CR1

First ride report on my brand new Scott CR1 Team :))

Its been many months since I rode at Genting Peras so the fitness was a bit off. As expected I suffered a bit on the accent. Another reason for the suffering was due to the fact that I'm used to the gearing ratio on my mountain bike 32X26 compare to 39X25 on the CR1. I still need to ride in the Tuesday night ride or to Genting Sempah to find out whether there's any drop in speed. Oh! By the way, no speed data because my old bike meter & front light cannot be fitted to the large diameter handle bars, so need to buy new ones.




I really enjoyed the CR1 on the descents. It was steady and goes where you point it to go. Descending on the drops is fun.

The carbon frame soaks up bumps from the road expertly. I adjusted the handlebar, flipped the stem and moved the saddle forward to a comfortable position as possible. However I still feel I need to get a shorter stem.

More about the CR1 as the mileage adds up :)

Wet Wet Wet

Because of rain and minor illness, I didn't ride much outside. So yesterday after the rain I went for the usual Tuesday club ride. 1KM from the regroup point its started to rain. I decided not to wait for the others as I was worried the rain will get heavy.

I took a shortcut to skip a hill but the rain caught be right before Sime Darby Convention Center. It was pouring. I had to take shelter in one of those rain shelter for motorcycles. After waiting for about 15 min the rain slowed down and I was able tp continue my ride home.

Riding in the rain is no fun but somehow I feel it distracts me from the pain so I think I was cycling a bit faster in some sections. :-)
