Training Ride 160609

Yesterday was the first session that we have our training ride in the afternoon. As with all training rides, we have yet to have all the member of the Team. Mursh is playing tennis (the training days are actually suggested by him to NOT clash with tennnis), Mr Big is away on 'extended' maternity leave and CH, had left his bike at home while the rest of the team are outstation, Mamu included (really? hehe)

Well, three is a good number to start anyway. In the end its just Pan-Cit, Am-strong and me. The earlier plan is to do MEX, in view of Am-strong has just recently returned to cycling after a few weeks hiatus. But, we decided to do the Puncak Jalil-Equine-Seri Kembangan loop. Starts with a few climbs, it should ended with flattish fast roads.

Supposed to starts at 1730hrs, but a few things crop up and we ended up moving out a few minutes after 6pm. Tried to push the pace but my tiring legs fails me. Pan-Cit, the best climber among us contimues push up front while Am-strong and me played catch-up. It was no fun for sure doing hills, more so on a leaden leg.

We huff and huffs, and puff and puffs as we negotiated the hills of PJ, so its a pleasant ride going downhill towards SK once we reached Equine. Its nice to ride the wide open roads, but its way more thrilling to ride on a busy road. I ride those kind of roads everyday now. We parted way soon after as I turned towards UPM for my ride home, while Pan-Cit and Am-strong ride to office. Sorry, no pics guys :(

Total Training Ride for Am-strong and Pan-Cit : 27km or so...

Training Time...

After a few months of limited activities, isncycling has decided to ride the 2009 Century Ride in Ipoh on 19th July 2009 (actually all has been invited, as of mid June 2009, Bon, Pan-Cit and CH has confirmed, while Am-strong, Mursh and Megat has indicated interest)

So, in view of the 160km ride that leaves us another 30 days of preparation, we decided to change our training session to start after work, rather than our usual night rides. That been decided (rather dictatorial manner if I say so), the training rides will be as follow...

Days: Tuesdays and Thursdays
Time: 1730 to 1900hrs (5:30-7:00pm)
Ride: MEX (Maju Expressway)
Bukit Jalil - Putrajaya - Bukit Jalil (approximately 40+km)

On weekends, we will have long rides, approximately 60-100km rides (depending on how we feel that week, hehe). So, we will start tomorrow afternoon, 16th June 2009, at 1730hrs.

SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW!!
