It wasn’t in the weekend menu but thanks to Rashid dapat jugak rasa 160km. Never did this kinda distance before..paling jauh pun around 120km last year. And some more sekarang dah ‘off season’ for triathlon, and that Desaru is over, mo kasi relax la ini badan.. Total rest for 1 week after Desaru Triathlon, and last week baru I started training. But only running , and some stairs training at Batu Caves on Friday (29/8).
Met Acap and Fong at Batu Caves, also doing stairs. I did only 5 loops, with the 4th loop reduced to walking because I volunteered to help this pakcik carry a box of 100plus up the stairs.. Kira i only carried 1 stack..the Indian pakcik was carying 4-5 stacks per trip up..daymm…. i asked how long has he been doing this.. 10 years he said..holy cow..!
strength training tak hengat...
Met Rashid before I left Batu Caves.. he reminded me of the Saturday ride..aya… mcm malas nak pergi but then , rugi pulak tak pergi.. hahaah.. So, decided to join them the next day. On the way to HOA that morning, noticed a few cars ahead of me.. ‘nie mesti nak pi kayuh jugak nieh..’.. la, rupanya CK and the gang. They were going to kayuh also..but later learnt from Rashid that they’re only going up to Bentong.
Didn’t touch my bike since Desaru.. Rusty chain..aya.. nasib baik si Rashid tolong bawa the minyak for me..huhuh.. Stupe and Shazly dah sampai tuh. Fong also. The climb up Genting Sempah was okay. Was with Fong most of the time. Chit chat lah apa lagik.. Rashid waited for us at the top. Thanks yeah ! Regrouped with the rest at Petronas Genting Sempah.. Afraid I might cramp up I looked for salt at the kedai Mesra.. ingat kodai runcit ka cik Julie oi… ye la, nite before minum air garam..tapi tidak mencukupi ! Lucky ada garam.. (dkat area jual corn in cup tuh..).. also tapau-ed some roti.. heheheh.. mcm nak picnic lah pulak..
Kay , sambung kayuh..this town, toward Bentong, it as downhill..huuhuhu..masing-masing yeeba yeeba yareeba !! Remember this dude ?
It was already panas by the time we reached Bentong. Nama je orang Pahang but I’m not familiar at all with Bentong town.. can’t even remember the last time I passed Bentong.. anyways, its a nice town..not soo crammed and traffic was okay except for the big trucks ! I don’t know the distance at this point, my meter sudah kong.. yeah,call me de belasah-ranger..ngan tube tak bawak nyer.. next up ; Felda Mempaga.. before masuk the road heading to that Felda Shazly sudah warning… nak makan , nak reload, do it before masuk jalan nieh..okay..baik boss.. so, ate my roti kacang and also some Powerbar.. air dah terlebih cukup..
makan-makan
We cycled up to the Medan Selera at Felda Mempaga.. Fong ngan Stupe dah terlepas ke Felda mana2 tah..Teranum ? lucky Shazly and Rashid dapat contact both of them !! So we makan-makan at the food court..SK and Stupe did not eat.. Rashid belasah makan , but NO rice kan Rashid..heheh..I had nuggets..hahah..okay, dah makan, apa lagi..balik lah… ayaa… jauhhnyeee lagi… eh come one guys, i seldom do jarak jauh ahh… so, haf mercy on me..tapi arituh, belasah je..
Last stop kat Shell , belasah makan dan minum cukup2..si Stupe had cornetto..wah.. tapi dengar orang tuh nak lose weight kan.. takpe, takpe.. eating on the long ride is as important coz your store up fuel (glycogen from the liver) is reduced and you need to compensate that with eating !! ..as for myself i need to put on weight.. lets see how much i can gain this Ramadhan ! It started raining not long after that.. pastuh berhenti..pastuh hujan balik…pastu stop..adoi na..main cak-cak la pulak..reminds me of Desaru !! hehehe..i miss Desaru !
stupe,cornetto,jewelz
us
penat woo...cant wait to go back !
Finally sampai jugak tempat jual buah berangan tuh.. shortly before tuh bump into Rashid (he and Fong was ahead of me , SK and stupe most of the time).. rupanya ada pakcik ni hit him.. lucky tergolek on the grass.. i was already tired this time, but if i stopped the climb would be harder..so kayuh je lah..
Dah sampai tempat jual berangan tuh, ingat nak regroup.. but Stupe and Shazly was way behind us.. ada emergency call.. 1 of them sudah cramp whole body..ayaa… Rashid , Fong and I had to balik ‘a.s.a.p’ to HOA to get the car and rescue SK.. uhmm…hancur plan Rashid’s and I for McDonalds..hehehhe… next time ahh Rashid..
By the time we reached HOA dah pukul 4 lebih i think.. Fong and Rashid waited at HOA, Stupe kayuh balik sendiri..on the way to get Shazly, Stupped zoomed by with his tongue sticking out at me..grinning..cute la tuh ?! hahahhaha..anyways, jumpa Shazly(cramp.. ha, sapa suruh tak makan…) , helped him load his bike in my car.., and headed back to HOA..
Sampai HOA, si Abu and Saiful ada.. they went to Genting.. opzz, they cycled up to Genting that morning around 3.45am.. So, McDonald’s plan sudah off… and SK pon dah kena balik,wife sudah call.hahahha..
Wuteva ittis, i enjoyed the ’short’ outing… haha..real fun eventho it was a small group. Rashid was sooo nice and kind to wait for Fong and I everytime we ‘tertinggal’ di belakang.. but most of the time it was I yang dok belakang,hahah..and Stupe, thanks jugak tunggu aku and also kasi pinjam kejap company phone tuh.. to Shazly, thanks for proposing the ‘bomb’.. such a ‘blast’ ! and thanks for the advice. i really really appreciate it.. hope ko nyer cramp sudah okay.. next time sleep earlier before a long ride.. i oso ekceli tak cukup rest nite before.. Fong, u memang hebat. Kalu Steph ikut, tak tau la if she cud keep up with you !
Kaylah, nak keluar beli juadah berbuka nieh… Happy Ramadhan to all okay.. training , training jugakk… Rukun Islam yang ketiga nieh, jangan buat-buat lupa pulak !!!
selamat puasa to all my friends !

This morning Subuh prayer at the mosque. Was so tempted to take fotos of these cute little ones in their telekong. So adorable ! But the one in the pink telekong takdak gigi..gigi sudah hitam hitam..but still, cute ! Najwa is her name.
