Owing to my business commitment and physical condition,I have only three more MTB before the year 2009 ends.InsyaAllah,I will achieve 1800km soon.i.e 90% of my 2009km target.Here is my plan for another 35km more:
Today,when my wife and me went for our morning walk at Taman Botani,Putrajaya.We came across a family of one son and three daughters cycling.My wife was inspired by their family outing together and asked me whether she also could ride a bike.Of course,"You can!",I replied.By the way,my wife belongs to the old school of the 50's where ladies were discouraged to ride bicycles.On arriving home, I conspired with my son on how to teach my wife how to ride and get her to cycle with us.
Looking at the outstanding km to ride,it is impossible for me to achieve this year target to cycle 2009km.However,I hope to clock at least another 90km more so that I could achieve 90% of my target.Looking back over the last 18 months of active MTB cycling,I am quite pleased with the distance covered,the fun and the friendship I had enjoyed and the fitness and health benefits I got from cycling.However,I am not quite happy about the skills and my knowledge on bicycle maintenance.From next year onwards,I should focus more on improving my riding skills and physical endurance.And of course I must get a new MTB because my son wants my Trek3700.

Let me thanks everyone who came for this morning ride.The weather was fine all the way,but alas,due to dry weather for the last one week, a few of us were disappointed that the 'submerged trail' we expected was as dry as a bone.Anyway, we tried to make it as good as we can by extending our ride to Precinct 10 and rode the boardwalk and returned via Precinct 8-my little Secret Garden behind the Masjid Putra.
There were 14 of us,four decided to return to base after 15km ride,the rest continue for another 10km.One of my friends got pulled by the gravity(DH stretch),decided to test his speed and off he went alone.One of us tried to call him but he was gone.We lost him after PM Residence but managed to contact him later.Anyway, he got back to base safely.Distance covered is about 25km in 1hr 40 minutes.Thanks to Muhaimy for leading the tribe.
On the X'mas Day,we plan to ride at Bukit Cabaran in Putrajaya.Saifuddin has agreed to lead the ride.
To the new comers to MTB cycling at FRIM(Saifuddin and son),I am glad that you guys enjoyed the ride.To everyone who rode with me this morning,my thanks for your great company.
I hope to ride at FRIM again next year,insyaAllah.
Note: I took 1hr 50 min to ride a distance of 17.72km today.Max speed at 41.8km/hr.
Attendees: Pak Kaman and his son Adib,Asri&Saadiah,Sy Din& Elda,Saifuddin and his son Maher Hafeez,Atok and me.
Since the last Ramadhan,if my memory is right,I have not been cycling there for almost two and the half months.That is a long time.Today ,insyaAllah,my friends Pak Kaman,Pak Aru,Pak Ahmad(the veterans of FRIM) will join my PER gang.The new comers to FRIM today are Saifuddin and his son Maher Hafeezi.Welcome to FRIM:-) I pray for good weather and safe and enjoyable ride to my buddies and everyone.
Happy Sunday to all.
