Yeah…last Sunday attempted Ulu Langat route again on roadbike squeezed in with PCC tar & grime weekly ride. About 20 ppl for almost 57km. Kumpul at Bt 14, 8.00 ciao towards Bt 18 then the jalan kampung up to Genting Peres and back. Tak attempt pun Bukit Langat sebab dah boleh terasa kelengitannya plus most of us preferred riding back to Bt18.
The first 7km from Bt14 to Bt18 was a warm up thing where semua rode slow pace 25km/hr. Bila dah masuk jalan kampung, aku kayuh sorang2…cis. Struggling to catch p with the front group but the view of them slipped away everytime I reached a corner. Averaging at 30km/hr on flat all by myself was bored stiff.
Finally reached the junction to Genting Peres and saw a few guys lepak but I continued on taking the climbing challenge for another 10km to the peak. Road was clear, mist started to drift away as I pushed the pedals gradually uphill. The last few corners then only I passed by a few other anguished cyclists.
Alwin, Bachin & Laif were already joking their way through the rest time at the peak when I approached them. A quick 2 minutes leg rest & I was rolling down again getting up to 40km/hr at certain corners…this is the reward.
On the way back through jalan kampung, saw Azahari at a workshop… putus rantai. Adush! Asking the locals for a ride to Bt 18 will cost him 30 bucks. Slack. So aku rode back to Bt14, get my car and fetch him at Bt18…lucky he managed to get a lift from somebody.
Ended the hot climate ride at 11.30. Too bad didn’t manage to click a photo. The best thing is, no worries of getting to wash the bike once sampai rumah nanti…ekekekek.
