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

Bangi - Lukut - Bangi
Arrived at MTDC late but managed to find parking. Don distributed ride tulips so I made a mental note to try stay in a group because I'm lousy with directions. Don, in his briefing said that the terrain is similar to the coming 2nd day Interstate ride.
The ride mostly rolling hills from Bangi. When you reach Sendayan it begins to get tiring and I'm glad to reach Lukut. I grew up in Lukut so it's nice to be there again after 13-15 years! My roti parata arrived late so there was no time for sight seeing. After fueling up I try to follow Vong and his group.
The ride was Ok in the begining. I drank lots of water and managed to stay with the group. 20Km to finish the pace got faster and I was trying to hang on. I was hydrated but low on fuel. 5km to the car park I got nothing in my legs. Reach car few minutes before 1PM.
Max Speed: 58.3, Time: 4h 31m, Distance 121.74km, Average Speed: 26.9Km/h

Coordinates for MTDC is N02°55.533' E101°46.235'

Tuesday night ride
Wow finally I got the tracks for the Tuesday night ride!
But it's not without drama, the application fail to save GPX file but managed to save KML file. Tracking was done at 2 sec, min 5 meters.

Genting Sempah-Bentong-Genting Sempah
Nowadays I'm tired of riding my bike so when we regroup at the workshop I thought about not going to Bentong. Getting lazy, but all those riding for sure have their positive. I can see my ribs for the first time since lower secondary school!
View Larger Map
Riding to Bentong in a peloton was fun. We were cruising 32/34Km/h with Vong pulling us. Arrived at Shell Bentong feeling fresh, contrast to the previous ride where I rode alone.
The ride back was fast to, this time I did pulling all the way to McDonald hill but my speed was too fast so in the end only 1 person followed me.
I accidentally cleared my bike computer so no data. The ride duration was about 4h 30m. The new version if Trail Explorer worked during the whole ride. Maybe I can get some data from there?
