MY FIRST C E N T U R Y R I D E

I've set series of goals to achieve the biggest in duration of 3 months , and amazingly I did it, and I thought at least I could write about it .

Lots of thoughts were putting me down and up and Im all between this exciting roller-coaster. The excitement started when I woke up one morning and thought hey ! fatty ! are your finding something to achieve rather your fail attempts of having some university could agree your age , face , ambitions to continue your study with .

So I had my first road bicycle and it comes with a name , black rhino , yes indeed it was a good companion and we have spent a wonderful time supporting my long excitement  alone without feeling bored a bit of what my feet and gluteus are doing .

 I ve been training / started my cycling hobby once again for 3 months now , and set some goals of progress . That include ; charity rides , crit race , long ride , climbing and a century .Rides started from 20 Ks  ,30 Ks ,40Ks , 80Ks and then 160 KM .

I could be full of pride and happiness that I’m all thirst of achievement has been succeeded. The first attempt of century ride , done it , within the cut off time . 7 hours of pedalling and seating on  a sharp saddle . I have sum up what these endurance rides all about .

• ·         You got to endure the pain and exhaustion at everywhere in your body .
• ·         Setting goals and plans a head is essential .
• ·         Enjoy these sweet products along the way .
• ·         Hydrating is always  paid off , don’t ever let the de- prefix your hydration .
• ·         Smile and enjoying the ride plays big role in having your ride much enjoyable. Endure the inconsiderate riders who draft on you all time without let you draft behind. You can show off your abilities of climbing these steep hills.
• ·         Trying your new stuff much earlier will help you reduce the adapting pain  in long distances.

Perak Century Ride ( PCR 2016)

Here it comes the big day . It was a wonderful route and most important ; good road conditions , Malaysia is not new to the good road conditions  in anywhere , near the jungles , villages  or even a non-tourists sites i.e. oil palm plantations .

The early rain was enough to make most of horizons full of scenic elements , the clouds or mist or ghosts was floating above the hills  and creating a great of compositions which was a super rewards to the souls and glutes .

Water stations were as promised at some reasonable distances , and  some were aware how tough was the last 30 KM , have gotten a good helping hand of water bottle to cool my guts down .

People who helped  me:

Cousins , Noooo I haven’t seen them for ages I also don’t know what kind of feeling they would have .

Can’t deny  the wireless support  from the big brother asking for yellow jersey . BLUFF!

My Patient GF ,  sorry she couldn’t wait since she was hungry , but at least she received me while snacking and sitting on a chair ,crossing legs with umbrella . Fancy !

Whoever support I ve gotten during the ride , and I would like to mention them in particular , every water station gave me with an opened cap bottle , the motorbike support who deliver water during the ride at the last 30 KM , and the support car was parking  on side of the road at last 10 KM , they found that little tired bird was suffering and trying to ease the pain with a 2 bottles of water , thank you !

The bike fit , the certified cycling fitter Patrick from VO2MAX Sdn Bhd .

All the good instructors at the indoor stationary spinning class , was good intense training during all these months .

Done , the rest I will enjoy it in my memory  and that what you need to experience and can’t be told or expressed by any sign or word.

Cycling my guts out

Yes , just started the wheels work once again . within few months  of returning to pedals I gotta do some serious hills ( not in a record time ) . But what is the beauty about it is doing it solo  ,such a live conversation with  me , crisis , zant or any other sick name I refer my self with .

The great natural  scene and the jungle process to the summit is my reward . Although the feeling like a bating dog has lost his breath from chasing his owner's car to work . Sad , happy , doesn't matter . What matter dont be sad about your self , but always happy , satisfying and other shit you think its right .

I was chased by a dog , cheered by some enthusiastic drivers along the way  and also smoked by  heartless motorbikes .  But all good Im finally here in the summit counting my heart beats , that ve beaten this jungle musical i was living audience along the provided route .

After I fell multiple of times , and get up stronger with more ambition and larger circle of skills . When the pain make a mark for a tougher stamina  and wilder animal .

Open mind free thinker non believer and the infidel

How majority of people has some opinion against the norm , nature and questionable matters . 

First Fall

Yes , I just had my first fall on my beautiful bicycle . That was hurting too . well, yea its been said; most of the crashes or falls is due to lack to attention or lack of speculation .

My fall was a dive to prevent laying on my front rider and not to hurt a stray kid on the park . kindda funny and satisfying that no body get hurt other than my skin and sweat heart bike . But the adrenaline rush  was playing good rule to keep going on bike and apologized to the kid showing that its not his fault . 

But then i lost my keys , no available help to gather my self together , but lesson learnt ,not to underestimate human , specially little humans . Otherwise good gestures are everywhere , not only in Ebay and young entrepreneurs . 

That shows there is a fine line between obsession about new hobby and commitment , fine line defines both terms clearly and sometimes its a grey line that could blend between both . I ve set new goal this month , to commit my self to the century ride ( 160 KM ) in Perak , Malaysia . going through multiple events gradually getting tougher by time till the 9 weeks period . 

The excitement started when i had my number won as the first in my first even lucky draw , not much as in value rather mentally appreciation in such nice charity even like TB support . 

today have no photo , im hiding behind my wounds .
