Started by waiting for Daniel and Rachel at 7am. We need to meet Gavin and his wife about 1.5 km away, in Sri Petaling, to tune their bike. They have just bought a LeRun Solaris from KSH the day before, and it seems that they had trouble with the brakes after fitting in the wheels. Well its more of inexperience than nothing.
Uncle Michael cycled from Summit, about 13km away, and met us on the way to Kesas from Gavin's house. We had a pretty slow ride, averaging 16kmh only. Gavin and wife ware very occupied with gear shifting, its a whole new dimension for them, having 21 gears at their disposal.
At the 14km mark(my meter), I decided to pull out my camera and take some shots of the group.
I didn't know my helmet looks so good!It took about 1 hour to reach Summit, that's pretty slow, but it was fun to have newbies joining us.
We took a breather at Summit;
Took us some time, but we finally decide to continue to Shah Alam.
"No worries,"
I said,
"Got a lot of taxi on the way..."
The ride was routine, slow and steady. The weather was good, explains why the newbies could cope! The only complain they gave was,
"Backside pain la!"
Yeah, if you are new to cycling, aching butt is pretty normal. Anyway, we made another stop at a petrol Kiosk. This stop was particularly long, Uncle Michael took time to explain to Gavin and Sandy about the proper cycling position, so we spend time tuning their bike, the saddle height, techniques, and so forth.
After that, we journeyed home. Uncle Michael turned to home when we reach Summit, and the rest of us went ahead towards Bukit Jalil. We made a final stop at another petrol Kiosk. I made a sprint, so waited about 10 minutes for the rest to arrive.
While resting, Rachel noticed something funny;
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, if you're going to wear a helmet, please make sure there's enough padding.
