Bagan Dato ride 2007

it was the 3rd day of chinese new year at my uncle place. where all my family was there celebrating cny. had a great time. the place was somewhere 6km to simpang and 23km to bagan dato town. quiet little place at my uncle house with all the oil palm trees surrounding and a main trunk road just in front to bagan dato town. begun my ride at 0700hrs using the main trunk road. it was a very long journey, all you could see in front is just a straight long road. no twist and turns, just one straight long long ride. was cruising around 24-30km/h, managed to do that kind of speed because the road was flat and there is not a single hill for you to climb.

right front is the river mouth

the jetty

gps said i'm at the right place

it was the longest ride i ever encountered. total time ride was 1hr 47mins and covers about 47km. it makes me wonder whether i can complete my 40km kl marathon run this year? haha..time will tell :D

Le Tour De Langkawi

was on my way to the office that sunday, massive traffic jam...took me an hour plus just to get into the office that sunday. all because of the "le tour de langkawi"....what i didn't know is that the route they are taking passes through my office, in front of it. quickly park my car and took a couple of snap shots. these riders are fast as they zoom pass ya, you can really feel the rush of wind blow to you.....i think they are doing about 45-55-km/h....

Kemensah WaterFall

took off from my house around 0645hrs, took the MRRII heading towards Zoo Negara. Batu Caves was jammed with cars and people. holysh*t is thaipusam...yeah forgotten about that celebration. got stuck 10mins just to squeeze through that area. Anyway the guys from "bicycle world" was kind enough to bring us there to the waterfall.

the ride to the waterfall was all uphill...uphill...uphill..uugghh! 6.8km on tarmac and 4km offroad to the fall. the trail condition was 90% dry and 10% wet which make our ride smoother. or else you'll get the wet and muddy condition which is un-rideable. the trail brings you up to about 600m above sea level. cool windy air and cloudy condition at some part. what can i say, it was a perfect ride to the waterfall! :D
