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!

26 April 2008 - The struggle to get back
Went for a ride alone today. My last serious ride was like 1 month ago. With just the occasional session on the trainer in between, I have lost considerable amount of fitness.
Todays ride started from Bt 14 Hulu Langat. The plan was to ride to Perez then u turn to Semenyih dam and to Bt 14. I have never ridden the last bit and according to riding mates its tough.
I started alone from Bt 14 around 7.40am. When I was nearing Bt 18 town I was passed by NSC riders and their van. I drafted the van until they decided to stop 3KM from the junction to Peres. I rode solo again but not far because riders from PCC was in front.
The faster riders went fast in to the climb and I only managed to catch up with Wong or Vong (sorry mate!)and 2 ladies. In the climbs the 3 of them smoked me! The climb felt extra long and steep for my under trained legs. They just don't have the stamina.
At the BN signboard I rested alone and decided to turn back when Arif asked to join them. I decline as I know I'm not fit.
I entered the road to Bt 14 from the dam and I know I'm in trouble. Firstly it is steep continuous climb of 2 KM. Secondly my water bottle is bone dry. The climb is exposed with little shade. I was struggling and have to stop couple of times even while using my granny ring and the lowest gear at the back.
So you can imagine my delight when the road finally points downwards and its 3 KM of normal road back to Bt 14 town.
Max speed: 52.5 KMh, Distance: 52.86KM, Time: 2h 46m, Average speed: 21.1KMh

Not a good week health wise. Stomach upset almost everyday. The day before work sucked too but today it was great because it's public holiday!
Woke up early to meet Wilson & Hasmadee in Hulu Langat. Arrived there at 0740. Got down from the car and notice my house key on top of the car! Luckily it didn't fall because nobody at home!
Then my stomach started to act up and I decided to go for it. looking around Bt 18 town, I didn't find any suitable place to do my business. Then I saw the bt 18 police station behind me. I went in and there's nobody inside. The place is almost empty except for a police radio. Went in into a not so nice toilet beside the lockup and did my business in record time! :)
After the Genting Perez climb we went to Sungai Congkak recreation area for some delicious nasi lemak. Nasi lemak shop coordinates N3 12.558 E101 50.578
