Cycloholic Syndrome

Take your time to read all,,, don't panic if you are tegar gerek...!!!

(From Fakawi's Forum & Zan. . .khas utk LOSO ha ha ha )

1. You can't get enuff of weekend ride (20km is peanut!)
2. You wish there are 2 or more Sundays in a week.
3. You ride mtb with knobbie tyres on tarmac during weekdays
4. If you looking for a new job, reasonable cycling distance, shower and bicycle parking facility are parts of your consideration.
5. If wife wants to go for a family holiday, you googling to see if that place have trail to explore..
6. Cycling come next to your wife in priority list. In some occassion, cycling come first (PCC Prez, Epic ride, Hash)
7. You apply leave for an event which is months away.
8. You wud do just about anything for wife in order to ride new trail.
9. You are reading cycling forum & BBS during office hours (ouch!)
10. One of the criteria of choosing a new vehicle is how well it can fit your bike(s). Or if it's gonna look good with roof bike rack
11. You think Tour De France is cool to watch
12. Your daily exercise is either ride the bicycle or ride the wife (allowed minimum "ride" ha ha ha)
13. Whenever you see a hill, "can I pedal up that hill?" "which is the best route to tackle that hill"
14. You change "pepatah melayu" to cycling experience e.g. "bersusah2 dahulu, bersenang2 kemudian" become "at the end of each climb, there's a downhill"
15. Salary surplus goes to upgrading bicycle parts rather than replacing broken "seterika"
16. Rather than buying new clothing or stuff for festive seasons, you buy new jerseys or parts for your bike.
17. You change your cigarette to Downhill...
18. Your office hour is spent surfing bike websites.
19. You know the Fakawichief better thanyou know your boss
20. BBS is your favorite cyber hangout
21. If home minister query why spend so much money buying cycling goods, you threaten her that its better to spend the money on bikes rather than spend it on another girl/ mistress/ girl friend. She can choose which one. It works every time for me. Now she dare not question anymore. ( ha ha ha )
22. You switch to sports channel everytime you turn on the TV hoping that there's mtb related events.
23. I'd washed the bike myself but send my car to the car wash.
24. You can't sleep eventhought you eye close for hours... coz tomorrow riding dayI sometimes refer to my steering wheel as handlebar and to roads as trails.
25. Lean forward as close as possible to the steering wheel while i drive up a steep hill.
26. At least 7 of out 10 bookmarks on your PC are mtb sites.
27. Spending a very2 long2 time at MTB shop every week,,, just to take a look of same stuff that wonder me...
28. Morning time going for work at 8am .. like so early for u but when going for a ride even 7am u think is too late
29. U need alarm to wake u up at 6am to prepare for work but U don't need alarm to wake u up at 6am when u wanna go for riding
30. You get good wax / chain or wat ever lube that cost like hell for ur bike...but ask ur wife to shave her legs with cheap LUX soap . . . .(worst ha ha ha ) . .

Training gile2 nampak. . . .so, dia ajak aku buat 'condition ride' ikut jln Bkt Jambul>Paya Terubong> Bkt Baru

Sampai kat umah dia, "ceh Malik ! hang guna roadbike aku bawa hardtail, mana aci lagu ni ?. . hang pekena aku betoi laa Malik . . . . "ha ha ha tak pe LT, u kayuh pelan2 he he he " seronok gurau dgn kawan2 ni" hilang stress !. . . .'things positive'. Route ni memang sedap climbing jika ride roadbike. . . ."ini playground aku ni LT" . . woooo patuh le KOTRT semua kuat2. Malam kami p pekena Nasi Lemak Liverpool RM1.70 sebungkus (kat SP kalu size n/lemak macam nii baru 70 sen. .kalu bagi nama Nasi Lemak Fullsus tentu lagi power). . . .bersama Chen, Rin, Derek (KOTRT) sembang2 sampai jam 00.30 pagi . . . .aku nak bayar pasal aku yg makan lebeh . . .tapi Derek awai lg dah g settlekan ! malu betoi ! Thanks Derek !

Sepanjang ada kat Penang 18 - 22 May petang aku p ride sorang2 ikut route ni saja tak bagitau Malek, tak mau ganggu dia. (sebenarnya aku tak larat & tak leh ikut phase & speed dia he he he ) . . . .kau org bayangkan masa downhill dari Bkt Baru max. speed 71 (tak pedah, just relax and enjoy DH) . . . .wow kalu aku pedal memang laju gile !. . .geng2 KOTRT kata biasanya dia org pernah buat top speed 80 - 90km ooooooooo gile ! Kalu anjing lintas memang jadi superman !

Apa2 pun Malek aku enjoy ride ikut route ni . . . . .

Note:

Utk TRM MTB aku minta maaf tidak dapat ikut serta "TOUR DE' TOBA" Indonesia pada saat2 akhir. . .aku terpaksa "korbankan ride" ini utk membantu hajat kawan2 lain di KL mulai 3 hingga 22 Jun. . .macam lagu P Ramlee. . ."berkorban apa saja. . . .tour d' toba atau kawan . . .itulah kasih mesera . . .sejati dan mulia" hu hu hu hu hu ! Melepas ride ke Danao Toba kali ini. . . .(tak pe, lain kali aku nak buat solo ride dari Medan > Danao Toba . . .)

Xplorasi Aman Jaya

• Pagi jam 7.50 aku ride utk r/v dgn Roslan, wan shahidan & JR (TRM), Pak Mail & Yusof @ Skot kat Surau Cinta Sayang. Semua dah ada dok tunggu aku he he he ! Maaf lewat sikit !
• Mula kayuh jam 08.15 terus masuk offroad kelapa sawit & kebun getah. Cuaca mendung baru lepas hujan. Keadaan trail lembab dan ada kawasan yg tak kena hujan. Aku suka kayuh cuaca mendung macam nii . . . semua epi ! Kayuh dgn Wan Shahidan memang seronok fasal dia ni kaki XC, jadi kami boleh tumpang ikut pecut 'belakang' dia ajee. . .sekurang2nya pagi ni mengerah tenaga cuba mengikut 'phase' Shahidan. Selalu2 buat macam niii, boleh kuat woooo ! kalu tak leh ikut pun . . . muntah jee !

Gunung Jerai_'Easy Ride"

• 16th May 2008 - jam 06.45 aku dah tunggu Roslan Mobil kat depan Masjid Tmn Ria SP. Dok dalam 5minit dia dah muncul. Kami terus proceed ke kaki Gunung Jerai utk bertemu dgn Loh & Ping (SP MTB) yg sudi 'ride' awal pagi. Both arrived at 07.40 wz their fullsus. Ramai gak riders dari Alor Star, Simpang Empat dan Jitra yg mai pagi2 buta (tingai bini he he he) utk 'melata' ke Puncak Jerai. . .pagi ini tiada kabus & cuaca mendung (kalu ada kabus, pehhhh pasti best giler )

• Aku, Loh, Ah Ping & Roslan mula kayuh 0745. . . .Roslan 1st time ikut ride ke gunung jerai. Aku solute Bro ni ! fasal walaupun ada masalah kesihatan dia tetap nak ikut. Mula2 ingat nak 'back up' dia sambil ride sambil borak2 . . .tapi dia bagi lampu hijau kat aku, "u pi dulu ramly, i kayuh pelan2". So, aku kayuh terus ke puncak Telekom bersama Loh dan Ping. Dalam hati kesian gak tinggai Roslan kayuh sorang2. . .sampai puncak terus call dia "Lan, u kat mana ? " "i dah 12 km ni, dah lepas Muzium Perhutanan" gullpppp ! WOW ! aku ingat dia dah turun, rupe2nya dia kayuh gak sampai kat kawasan resort "SOLUTE BRO" ! . . .kuat gak mental u kayuh sorang2 !

• Masa balik dok borak2 dgn dia "u tau ramly, pulse rate i masa climb tadi hari ini naik hingga 168. Kalori burn 2,000 + + Selalu dok ride rate dia dalam 140 aje." iissssh ! Bior betoi Lan. Semoga 'flush out' and sihat sokmo !

• Amboi masa downhill Loh pecut laju giler, aku kat belakang dia tapi top speed u' belum cecah 70km lagi. . .rekod downhill so far 70km oleh LOSO TRM (giler punya orang. . .nak mampueh betoi )

• Apa pun "aim" - "Ride To Summit" ari ni tercapai dalam masa, lebih kurang 2 jam 35 min. Dist. 14km aje. Thanks to Roslan, Loh and Ping sanggup bangun awal pagi for "easy ride" !

• Key points :

"Staying positive during tough times will help you see that all events work for your highest good".

Lan - mampu mendaki 12km dlm cubaan pertama di Gunung Jerai ! Bravo Zulu !

Loh, no problem 'ride to summit . . . & fast downhill" !

The Ice Kacang Ride @ Kamikaze !

3rd May

Date : 3-May-08

Time : 8.30am (started 8.40am KOTRT time!)

Trail : Youth Park >Jeep Track >168>Tiger Hill >Iron Cross >Terrapin Trail >AID >Air Itam >Youth Park

TRM riders: ramlySP, Wan Shahidan Jr, Loso, Haslizan, Hj Shuib, Sohaimee, Wan Shahidan , Shuhazi, Man MPK, & Hj Nan

Awal2 pagi aku dah sms Zankx TRm 'hoi hangpa kat mana la ni ? Loso jawab sms aku "baru sampai kat Gurun R & R abg ramly tunggu kami kat exit Tol SP". Gitulah sayangnya aku kpd kawan2 TRM, ambil berat tentang keselamatan mereka. Terujanya fasal ramai yg sanggup drive all d' way from Kangar hanya utk merasa 'nikmatnya ice kacang Penang Hill' (should refer as torturing climb). Ice Kacang Ride telah dirancang pada 1st May tapi ditangguh fasal aku terlibat dgn urusan pertunangan anak jiran. (mula2 aku dah seronok dah yahooo !, dapat excuse tak boleh ride kat Penang Hill. Dalam hati "pi laa hangpa ramai2 pekena 'ais kacang' dgn KOTRT naik Jeep Track ha ha ha !.

Ceh ! last-last depa tangguh pulakkkkk ! Katanya "kalu abang ramly tak pi, tak best laa" we all love u ! Sikit punya ayat ke ! So pinda tarikh pada 3rd May . . . alamakkkk tak leh nak excuse lagi kali ini ha ha ha ) !

Jeep Track hanya 5.2km sahaja, buat 2 Haji TRM kena "Dam" . . .tanyalah Haji Aznal & Haji Shuib he he he beletiar sepanjang kayuhan ha ha ha ! Tapi aku solute dua dua Haji TRM kerana berjaya juga menawan puncak Bkt Bendera, hari ini dlm sejarah. Downhill 5 Bintang telah menjadi penawar kpd semua riders setelah perit mendaki. Haji check 'buah tuuu' jangan-jangan dah jadi kemetot paa ha ha ha !

Lagi sakit, Lagiii sedap ! Ha Ha Ha ! Tengoklah gambar2 niii, Before & After de' Ride !
