Tooth Ache Ride

Yesterday I went for my 1st ride after my surgery to remove my wisdom tooth. I took it easy & took shortcut on the last climb to go home early. Overall, legs and back feeling good despite an absence of 2 weeks.

Rain ride

Yesterday I rode in the rain. It started to rain halfway to the Tuesday night ride. My rear brake fade real bad so I'm thinking about changing them to Koolstop brakes.

Before yesterday's ride I notice my right hand glove missing. Today when I went to work I found my glove on the road! Picked it up.

Tired

Last Sunday ride was tiring. I had minor flu but still went to Puncak Alam. After the ride my legs was in pain & I got t a slight fever. Now I'm going to rest because IS09 starts this Friday!.

Here's a article from Joe Friel's blog about fatigue.

Back to back rides

With the Interstate Ride just 2 weeks away, it time to do back to back rides. Saturday I rode to Putrajaya from home with Mr. Chin. Unfortunately Mr. Chin bonked on the return leg. He went jogging a day earlier.



Next day it's ride with PCC. We rode from Bangi to Lukut. The main bunch went to PD but some of us stopped at Lukut town This time the ride was bearable because the weather was cloudy most of the way.

Hulu Langat Ride & Food Poisoning

With less than 1 month to go for the Interstate ride, I thought it would be a good idea to include back to back rides. Coincidently Hseng Leng invited me, Mr. Chin and Vincent to a ride in Hulu Langat on Saturday.

In Hulu Langat we meet up with Kevin Han and together we rode from Bt 14 - Bt 18 - Genting Peraz -Bkt Hantu - Bt 18.




After the reide I drove home, washed the bike a bit, had my lunch and took a nap. When I woke up from my nap I felt discomfort on my stomach. I thought it was gastric problem so I resist a visit to the hospital. The next day I vomited so I know my condition was not improving so I went to Pantai hospital KL. The doctor told me it was food poisoning!

This makes sense because when i came back from the ride, our fridge went kaput! So I suspect the mock meat my mom cooked went bad before she cooked it.

So here I am...2 more weekends before the interstate.

Home - Cyberjaya - Home

Decided not to join PCC this weekend because it was far...Hulu Langat. Rode alone to Cyberjaya.




The time taken to complete the ride is the same as many months ago. But there's a difference in the consumption food. I completed the ride with just 250ml isotonic drink where the previous ride I consume 150ml isotonic drink and some chocolates.

But then again I started very early...6.44am and finish early so less exposure time in the sun doesn't warrant too much fluid intake. Hmm did I make any improvement from the previous ride? Yes. But that's not important.

What is important is not having that reluctant feeling to ride your bike. Too much riding can cause this. Now I'm enjoying my ride again after taking a small break.

Max speed: 51.9Km/h, Time: 2h 48m, Distance: 75.11Km Average speed: 26.6Km/h
