This week Tuesday night ride felt good. I was comfortable on the bike, stretched regularly on and off the bike. Next week I'm going to flip down the stem for more aero position.
On the way back from the ride, Mr.Chin &Mr. Vincent followed me on a slightly modified route. Mr. Chin lives in Pantai Hill Park while Mr. Vincent lives in Maxwell tower...very near to where I live.
Max speed: 59.3Km/h, Time: 1h 56m, Distance: 45.62 km, Average speed: 23.4km/h

The unexpected happen on yesterdays Tuesday night ride. I managed to stay with group! After my poor performance on the last ride in Hulu Langat, I expected my lack of fitness to accompany me on the hills of Damansara yesterday.
This was not the case and I did some decent riding. So what went wrong in Hulu Langat? Maybe the distance before I hit the climb. The last good climb happened when I started from Bt 18 instead if Bt 14. Soon I will find out.
Btw I saw the Liège-Bastogne-Liège race. Totaly unbelieveable! These guys rode 200KM + and the last 20 Km they hit 10% gradient climb for 1500m and they can still attack! Now that is power!

13 February 2008 Return to the Hills
After many months of not joining the Tuesday night ride, I went yesterday, bringing along my GPS.
It's an all guy affair, minus Arif. The first hill was tough as usually and I managed to stay behind Patrick's wheel. I reckon I can climb faster but not knowing the real condition of my fitness I decided to take it easy. A wise decision because on the second hill I thought I shit myself! On subsequent hills the suffering continues.
The good news; my riding times remained about the same. :)

Today I wash my cycling cloves. I don't know when was the last time I wash them! Thinking about replacing them with full finger gloves. Not a bad since I registered for the PCC Presidential Ride 2007...I need all the protection!
Yesterdays night ride was great. I was able to keep up with the main group and even pass some of the regulars on the hills. Beside hill training in Peres & Genting Sempah, one of the contributing factor in to this improvement is my switch from flat to clipless pedal. I can spin like a mad man without worrying about my feet coming off the pedal.
Max speed: 59KM/H, Distance: 26.31KM, Actual ride time:1h 9m, Average speed:22KM/H
Comparing above statistic with my 21 August ride, I improved by 3 min only! So disappointing. But compare to my first ride on 7 August it's 14 min improvement.
