All i can say today is…………I AM TIRED. I did 80km. To Pantai Remis and back. With Yu Huang. I hated the lorries. I loved the journey. But i am dead tired. My legs were asleep the whole day. My arms and back are killing me. And im going to need serious sleep. Its been a while i did long distance ride, and i survived. haha.
Well….i have had many chapters in my life ended. Some high some low. My exams were pinnacles of my life. I am thankful for that. Well im thankful for everything i have had, i have now and wat ever i may have in the future. My book is still relatively long…..if its meant to be. And for the most part, i never realise how the chapters end. Most of them i take for granted. The accident of 2003 was especially horrifying. But it ended well……..i got a new bike and a new chance at life…..amen. Well no matter how good or bad or akward a chapter ends…..it has reasons. All i can do is just to go with God and his direction. He seemed distant this past few weeks. But now he somehow re-emerged and says, "Look, this aint gettin u no where. So i suggest u get ur ass movin elsewhere and stop killing yourself!". Well, it seemed tough at first. But now it seems the right thingto do. And so there goes another chapter…….my life story……
well well well….today was a day of almost hell. Wasnt really hell but i got a taste of it. Went riding for another 55km….this time up hills. Boy was it killing. Went to Damai Laut Resort first that alone was 30km distance. Total hill section was 4km. even 4 km is enuf to set your legs on fire..literally. For those of u in bio class….u know wat happens when u get a huge load of lactic acid in ur legs. Its close to hell i tell ya. Tat was the first part. Seocnd part was Damar Laut jetty. Another 4km of hills, worse and longer then the one b4. Even on my light racing bike it was like dragging a pile of bricks up the hill. And i tell u this. If u enjoy the ride down the other side, it will mean u will suffer when u go back up! And after all of this pain, and as if it wasnt enuf, bear in mind sititawan folks, i had to go back up the Tunku Bainun Bridge…..ouch. There was an inferno in my thighs! Then theres the tiny twins to add more salt to the wound. hmm…..and despite all of this, i was already planning my next "suicide" mission and my funeral! call me crazy if u want to…but hey….thats my sport.
ooops, sorry mee soon. looks like i left u out. No hard feelings ok? *wink* hehe. yeah i was happy to see him again. anyway he has my tickets….hahaha. Flying soon, literally. Pilot….cun man. Nxt time go Old Trafford get me Rooney’s signature k? hehe. Miss all the times we had together in skool. Now they r just memories…to be told….to laugh at…to cry at…to cherish ….and to take till im no longer existent in this earth. Hey will i get free tickets if u were pilotint my plane? hehe.
well what can i say? i was just grudging yesterday bout group cycling and today God gave me an opportunity to do it again. Though i was riding wit some aunties and uncles, but they at least gave me something to experience when cycling in groups. Even we dont know each other, the camaraderie is there. Always with cyclists. I saw ah ho’s new Giant XTC NRS bike, Team Bike. Wasnt really a mind blow to me coz its an old frame. But the parts do get me excited about. Come on, he has Rock Shox SID SL, Race Face cranks, XTR brakes, Mavic wheels, SRAM shifters and EggBeater pedals. Think it cost him like RM5k or RM7k like tat. haha. Did a 55km ride today, something i havent done in a while. nxt might be the 60 or 70km ride. hehe. But now im just gonna take a day off. its riding like this that can really kill ur legs if u r not careful.
hehe. had quite a splendid time at the carnival today. saw many of my good ol frends. frens i havent seen in nearly a year. it was great to see them again. miss them lots. all i got myself was a burger, and a balloon of all things just to finish my cupons. sheesh. melvin was at the burgers again. soon he will be the only burger seller with a degree from cambridge!!! hahaha. sk got soaked. yeah! poor evelyn got starch. melissa got two balloons. caroline got a truck load of burgers. hmmm…..u were asking me? well i din get much. well, no matter. disappointments pratically come on a daily basis in my life. not a really huge deal i get another one…….
wonder if it is possible for me to tackle all the hills and bridges of sitiawan. If not i wont have the neck to cycle everyday, well almost, to get my legs back into thier cycling shape. First i shall go for Teluk Rubiah hill, then to Teluk Batik hill, then up the condos of Lumut, then pop over to the Tunku Bainun Bridge in KG Baru(passing the two small ones along the way), and maybe to Damar Laut and perhaps Damai Laut? Hope i can do it. All thid will be attempted at the end of my so called "training". Made 40km look like cake on Wednesday, 15th Feb. Hmm, suprised at how fast my legs are adapting. Next maybe gonna do Pantai Remis, the long way using old road. That would be 60+ km. Its been a while since i cycled that route. Wonder if i can keep a 25kmh average speed. Lets see……And i am hoping to be able to sprint past 50kmh again. I have done it 2ice only. The highest was 52kmh. now with my rusty legs i can manage at 46kmh. hey 6 kmh may not look like much, but when u ride a bike, its hard i tell you!
too bad my group is practically split up….one is injured, one gave up, one sold his wheels , one is alone and i am so far away for most of the time. Wish i had all those days back. I miss all the fun. i remembered we(4ppl) were supposed to rendevouz with an air tawar group of cyclist. But they rode early and we had to play catch up. We blazed the road at around 33-35kmh trying to catch the group(ok ok i know its not Tour De Langkawi or Tour De France standars but hey, its pretty respectable speed considering we ride once a week). imagine doing so from sitiawan to the old road to pantai remis starting at 6.30am……finally we manage to catch up after seing thier rear lights flashing in the distance. We were at that pace for almost an hour. And i loved it! Then there was the killing 100km i did with them using batu gajah road then come out somewhere near kg kayan. That was a real leg killer and my first 100km in a day. took a good 5 hours to complete. MY legs became taufu fah when i got back. took a super long 5 hr nap i think.
