Salam sejahtera pada rakan-rakan yg turut serta kayuhan pagi ini. Terima kasih atas respond anda semua.

6 hari aku berehat/kayuh ringan2 utk 'recover' dari kayuhan yg lepas. Kadang-kadang aku rasa 'boring' utk buat 'base ride/training', tapi tiada jalan pintas dlm masa terdekat utk 'ngam' dgn road bike and most importantly ~ i don't want to get injured !

So selepas 'recover' ~ aku tekad utk ride laluan Baling ~ G. Inas ~ P/Hulu ~ G. Paku ~ Nenering ~ Betong ~ Baling

Route ini memang 'tidak menjemukan' and 'fun for base ride'. Entah berapa 'killer gon' pun aku tak tahu but 'i love it' . . . . he he he !

Slow ride dari Baling ke Gunung Inas (benci tapi ragaih juga) hingga ke Pangkalan Hulu. Dulu, aku 'risau' dgn standard crank ini ~ boleh ka aku ragaih bukit ? kadang2 rasa tak yakin, tapi 'alah bisa tegal biasa'. Pagi ini "G. Inas & G. Paku, dua-dua aku paku dlm satu nafas". Kepuasan yg buat aku lupa dalam cuaca panas terik hari ini.

Dalan hati sentiasa bersabar/bersyukur dgn cuaca panas terik hari ini.
Lengan aku berbalar.
Note: Minum banyak air ~ and enjoy d ride !

Semasa 'climb' Gunung Inas jumpa 'lone ranger' nii dok ragaih sorang-sorang.
Cikgu Zubir dari Perlis ! Kami 'offer' (paksa) dia "jom join kami, kita kayuh pelan2 ke Pang Hulu, G. Paku & Nenering". He3 ~ Cikgu Zubir senyum 'kegembiraan' !

So 'memang rezeki' dia hari nii dapat 'menjamu selera' dgn gon-gon disepanjang Felda Nenering. Pasti Cikgu Zubir teruja & 'kekenyangan' burppppp he he he !
Jumpa lagi Cikgu !

Wendy Kroh MTB dok lecture aku :

ขนที่ขึ้นอยู่บนศีรษะ โดยปรกติเป็นเส้นยาว, บางทีก็ใช้เข้าคู่กับคำ เผ้า เป็น ผมเผ้า หรือ เผ้าผม

So, aku jawab balik : ฉันรักเธอที่สุดเลย ~ ha ha ha !

Post 'Breakfast' Ride

(Imigresen Malaysia/Betong Thailand. Dari kiri : yusri, Nizam, Cikgu Din & me )

Date: 9th Feb
Time : by 07.40 am
Start: Petronas, Puteri Hill Park/Taipan
Route : SP ~ Baling/Betong ~ SP
Distance : approx 140km+. (actual 170km)

Riders SP : Cikgu Din, Saiful Manjung and me

Ini adalah pengalaman pertama 'long distance ride' dgn 'roadbike'. Nampak mudah, tapi tidak semudah seperti yg aku fikirkan. Terima kasih kpd KOTRT frenz Shaharin, Chen, Beh, Malik and Derek yg memberi aku tunjuk ajar dgn 'base ride/training'.

Dah lama aku kena penyakit 'long distance ride' ni. Dah sampai tahap 'penagih'. Dulu aku dok lepas gian dgn hardtail sahaja i.e. Breakfast Ride SP - Baling - SP (kawan2 dari Sp Lan Mobil,) Yusof, Cikgu Din dan yg terkini Saiful manjung) ~ Banding Ride (sp - gerik - banding), Kangar - Wang Kelian - Pak Bara - Kangar, SP - Kangar - SP, Sp - Betong - SP, Pang. Hulu - G. Paku - Nenering - Betong - Kroh, Sp - kangar - wang kelian - hatyai - padang besar - kangar semuanya melebihi 4 jam 'on saddle'.

Ada route ini, berkali-kali aku lalui dgn pace & citarasa sendiri. Peluh yg mengalir, bahang terik matahari semuanya memberi kepuasan ~ alhamdulillah bersyukur pada Allah swt yg memberi kita kesihatan yg baik.

Cyclist/riders mempunyai citarasa sendiri terhadap 'the beauty & Love in long distance ride'. Di SP aku tak perlu risau, kerana ramai 'riders fanatik' utk buat 'long distance ride' i.e. Cikgu Din, Lan Mobil, Yusof and Saiful manjung. Dan kami akan pelbagai kayuhan i.e. road ride, hill climb (g. Jerai), offroad XC semua belasah and Enjoy in our ride !

Kalau buat 'short/interval ride' i.e. SP - Chandi - Tupah - SP pasti laju he he he. Siapa sangka Lan Mobil kini boleh 'tarik' 37 - 40km dgn hardtail . . . . tak percaya ? Boleh cuba ride dgn dia he he he !

Satu sahaja aim kami ~ to get fit and healthy !

Semalam ~ Belum pun jam 8.00 pagi matahari dah kelihatan. Cuaca mula panas "lit-lit" selepas jam 8.00 pagi dgn suhu 35°C. Kami kayuh meredah angin sepanjang jalan ke Betong dan SP. Singgah breakfast kat Restoran Ketapang Baling bersama Razif BalingBiker, Yusri dan Nizam Imigresen.

Menu: Air buah and tosey telor. Stopping time approx. 50 mins.

Climb Gunung Inas (1st time dgn roadbike) dgn standard crank terasa perit. Ketika aku 'jump' berdiri, kedua-dua paha macam 'nak meletup' sakit. Tanda2 nak kejang otot. Dua pek garam yg nizam bagi abeh aku belasah. Thanks. Solute kat Cikgu Din ~ dgn standard crank dia climb Gunung Inas 'berdesup' macam lipas kudung ish ish ish dari mana dapat 'strength' gitu ? Macam tak percaya ? Sampai kat puncak dia gelak sahaja he he he ! Aduhhhhhhh !

Kayuhan balik, Saiful Manjung pula mengalami kejang otot ketika buat last climb di bukit kelapa sawit lebih kurang 25km ke SP. Nasib baik Cikgu Din sempat memegang Saiful drpd jatuh. Hasrat utk mencapai Distance 170km+ tidak kesampaian.

Sampai rumah aku buat 'warm down' dgn weight lifting work out utk balancing 'upper body' . memang 'puas' kayuhan hari ini. Malam jam 9.30pm on TV ~ lepas tuuuu TV tengok aku he he he !

Last but not least ~ Enjoy the Pain he he he !
