Nite Ride Kota Raja > Alam Impian > Shah Alam > i City

Arrived at home around 9pm and laid lazily playing with Nissa and Qaireen to kill some time .. Felt a bit tired and think to forget about tonite ride to Shah Alam .. The phone rang. It was Abg Wahid over the line.

"So how? I'm ready. I'm going to pick up Emad first. We'll meet at Lan's place. Ok?!! "

"Oh Ok Ok, but I .. "

"See you there", he cut before I could finish my words.

Take a shower, quick one. And straight to Lan's Bike Shop. Wahid and Emad arrived and we cycled to Apartment Seri Proton, Sungai Kandis the meeting point for Klang MTB riders. Let's rock and roll.

All riders from various clans of Klang

We heading to Shah Alam via Alam Impian. The group split to 3 packs. Front, middle, and back. Depend on speeding level of every rider. I put myself in the middle. Right after Alam Impian Plaza Tol, one bike has broke it's RD.  The ride was held a while to fix the incident. The clock showed 2315hrs, by 2345 the incident couldn't solved and the emergency tour had been call in to take the bike out. We continued the ride just on the midnite.

On LKSA Highway

Dataran Shah Alam, meet up with other groups

At the Dataran, Kayuhbeb group and some riders from PUJMAC were there already. No head count was made, just a warm chit chat about their Ramadhan experience this year. The origin plan was to i-City, via Section 8, and Section 7.

First ride in Ramadhan's nite

Its been a long break after Bagan Lalang Touring. Due to tight working schedule and some personal matters to attend. Last nite Farid held a nite ride to Shah Alam. For me this would be coming back warm up session.

The ride start after Isya' at Lan's Bike Shop. We heading to Klang town and ride along Federal Highway to Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. The ride was very tough for me. Everything just not rite. The breathing technic, the mind state, the body strenght and the bike condition were not syncronized. All this had put me down and fall back far away from Farid. The breath was heavy and difficult. The mind keep yeilding to stop. The body try to push harder to catch up. And somemore the gearing are out of control. The situation held for so long.

From Seksyen 7 to Seksyen 8, there were a big climb to the pick. Slowly paddle up little by little. Get down to Seksyen 8 the were downhill. Fuhhh!! That's not for long, another climb was served rite after that. This time more harder than the first one. Ouchhh!! Push a bit harder to the pick and I'm there on top. Fuhhh!! for second time.

We took a break at Dataran for half an hour before continuing the ride back to Klang. On the way back, we climb to iCity. Like usual, the was heavy traffic up to the hill. iCity has become another recreational spot for Shah Alam and Klang people, and surrounding area till Petaling Jaya.

Down from iCity, we're heading back to Klang via Cannaught Bridge Power Station, Jalan Raja Nong to Sentosa and Uganda before stop at N'CHOM restaurant for break and supper. It was exhausted nite ride for me. I shouldn't stop cycling for long. Even I couldn't ride at least i have to jog or walk. Let the machine and engine in running condition. Huh!!!

Total distance cover are 38.61km around 3 hours ride including injury time. Enjoy ride, be safe.

Trail Putrajaya

No big ride this week since FRIM on Saturday. I ride like usual. Klang and its surrounding area still my playing ground. Try to keep the riding distant around 30km daily at average as regular. 60km daily is beyond my capability yet. Hence, I don't have that much time to ride in single day.

In short of daytime to ride, maybe nite ride is an option. But, it is not wise to ride alone. I put a safety ahead beyond everything. Even I'm prepared with lights, blinkers and reflector vest, anything could happen if I'm riding alone. Not to ask for something bad, but better safe than sorry.

Bad and I had join with Nasir TM team to ride in Putrajaya at nite. The ride planned to start at 2100hrs. I took off from office at 2030hrs and have to meet with Bad at Petronas Station in LDP on the way to Putrajaya. I had roger Adznee to ride along tonite. This guy had dragged me into this MTB activity but seldom ride with me. This is unacceptable.

Back to the ride, the nite was cool. Maybe it was raining early at the evening. This will be cool along the ride. The TM team leaded by Fauzi as usual aka permanent host had take us to PICC, around Desa Pinggiran and Alamanda before we reaching back Dataran Putra. Total distance is about 22km plus minus. The road was clear, lights along the way and less traffics. There were also other teams as well that nite.

The ride was fun with the team. 12 riders all count from various background and locations. We complete the ride almost midnite. Like usual the ride will end with 'teh tarik' session but sorry guys I couldn't make it. Call of duty tomorrow morning at 8. End of the route.

Enjoy ride, be safe.

Feels so energetic, even after 12hours long day shift. I decide to ride after work. But, to ride alone at nite is not wise. So, I've pick up a phone and call Farid. Wish he is free and could accompany me to ride. Luckly he has nothing to do and agreed to ride along.

By 2045hrs, I reached home and took out the bike. Farid was ready at the RV waiting for me. Like usually, he will lead the ride and I will just follow. The objective of the ride was heading to Uptown Seksyen 24 and shop for flash lights and blinkers. When safety come first, all this stuff are compulsory for a rider, reflector is a plus safety feature. It is very important to be notice by other traffickers while riding in the dark.

The nite was dark without moon and stars in the sky. The road are busy along Jalan Kota Raja and Jalan Kebun. Different story when we turn into Jalan Batu 4 to Alam Impian, neither motorists nor dogs. It's very quite and uncomfortable. The road is dark without any light. The only light we have is from Farid flash light. I think, Farid also felt the same. I saw him increasing the speed, without any doubt I just follow as close as I could. Who one to be left alone in the dark.

We reached Uptown in one piece, fuhhh!!! Like usual, Uptown is happening with every type of people. Farid and I also contribute to the types, but we totally different, definitely. Get inside the compound with helmet and bike has make us an alien. Somehow, I feel likes a rock star when every eyes are pointing at us. They use to see a star but maybe they seldom see a bicycle at nite. Rock star ride a bike, yeah!!!

About an hour spending time in Uptown, we continue the ride back to Klang. Using short cut at the back of Section 17 Vocational School, we reach Jalan Mat Raji and ahead to Jalan Sungai Rasau, Padang Jawa. Time was about 2300hrs, and we decide to put on another route that nite. Off Jalan Batu Tiga Lama, we have turn into Kampung Kuantan via Jalan Bukit Kuda instead of using Federal Highway to Klang.

 

The ride was smooth as we reached Kota Raja at 2330hrs and stop at N'Chom for supper. Having a cup of Nescafe Tarik and roti canai at the end of route is not advisable. Order something healthy next time. While slurping our drink, suddenly the rain was pouring down heavily. Gosh, we are lucky to arrive earlier. End of route.

Enjoy ride, be safe.
