Are you guys bored of me yet? :)

Today's ride was with Birthday Boy Amin. First KM and my front tyre hit a snag. A brake pad has gotten loose and got stuck against the tyre wall. Luckily we're back riding after a quick fix. I was just glad that it was not a flat.

Pop goes the rat's head

Today I rode with Amin on our usual 10km @ 10pm session. Beautiful weather today except for a few road kills stinking up the ride. I think I ran over a dead mouse and heard its head pops under my tyre. Gross!!! Gosh that stink is going to haunt me for a few days so sure.

What footie final?

Solo ride today, seems everyone was out watching the footie final between ATM (Armed Forces) vs Red Warrior (Kelantan). Good news was the road was calm and clear due to this.

I also have to mention that today's ride is accompanied by a full blown fever. I think I got the same amount of water coming out of my nose as my sweat today. I went on a slower pace and successfully completed my 10k.

Hope to be better for tomorrow's ride.

First 15km!

Today's ride is with Zahar. Rest of PUSJ1 Night Riders were unavailable.
Did my first 15km and feeling great!

I am also riding with new safety lights. I finally had the time earlier today to go buy one. They are about RM25 - RM29 a piece and I got the front and rear one for RM40.

Ride cut short by rain , bummer!

Solo ride tonight to be joined by Zahar a bit later. At 2KM met Farid, PUSJ3 rider and we rode together. Farid gave me some tips especially about me riding without lights and in black shirt. He almost bumped into me hehehe

At about 6 km rain started coming down and the ride had to be cut short just when I was starting to have some fun.

Better luck tomorrow!

I discovered front gears!

We have Hasnawi and Shukri tonight for our 10km @ 10pm ride. Started out ok but halfway they picked up speed and I was struggling to keep up. I was pedaling the fastest I could go but the bike just won't go any faster. I started to think that better more expensive bikes goes faster.

With both friends shrinking in the horizon, I started to play around with the gear pedals and for the first time I shifted the left gears up a few notch and suddenly I could feel the pedals getting heavier and the bike going faster. I finally figured out what the left gear pedals are for (and what frot chain gears are about!)

Best 10k by far! Will be back for more!
