I thought it would be an easy cycling, but boy… ahkak dah tua dek non…pancit!. hinsh..hinsh… Dulu, bukit 45% tertonggek-tonggek kayuh konon tak mo tolak, tak gitu Cikgu Elina?. At the age of 36 I figured that pushing your bike is faster and less tiring than wasting those energies cycling up the hill on lower upper gear. But then again, the pushing only last about 10m or so. Blame the bag, yeah must be the bag. So I passed the battle to somebody else:).

| berapa % bukit ni? can u see ada org tolak dua gerek? perrghhh... |
Ok, minus those uphill combats, the rest of the deals were awesome! Thrilling super fast ride downhill, steep cornering, cycling in the rain, hands off the handle bar… ahhh…felt like a kid teen again! Agak-agak geng NBC buat reunion kat sini ok tak?

| weeeehoooooo..... |
Major love was visiting Sg Baru Dam. It was originally functioned as a reservoir for Shah Alam residents. I didn’t see any kayak or Jet Ski so maybe waters sport are no no here. They had many fish cages merely meant for promoting recreational fishing activities or r&d la kot. We stayed here long enough pleasuring our lung breathing deep the damp cool revitalizing air and let our eyes feast the tranquil green of the forest. Ahhh…..nyaman sekalik!

Splashing in the pool was equally fun although some prefer to just skodeng watch.

The day ended at Hassan’s ayam kampong near stadium. Layankan aja… lapar. No doubt it was a very exhausted and tiring outing, but yeah…we want more!

Eline, aku rasa kau masih power! Seriously! Ini berdasarkan size peha. Huhahaha.
How long was your bike ride?
Great that you had a good time.
And by the way, it's rare for North America to see headcovered muslim women cycling so freely.
We NEED more images of women doing this.
