Trail Putra Perdana > Cyberjaya > Putrajaya

This week will be the last weekends before Ramadhan. Being in duty on nite shift won't be any harm to stop me cycling this morning. Since I couldn't join Rotor X Team Nite Ride, I have to replace the ride with something equivalent in distance at least. So I decided to have a morning ride from Putra Perdana to Putrajaya.  So I called Bad, inviting him to join and he agreed. I've invited Adznee as well but unfortunately he couldn't make it. He rather read this report than ride with me.  Maybe next ride.   

Exclusively from Perdana Lakeview

It was windy outside around 6 am, then later around 630 it started to rain.  It is not heavy but just dizzily till 7 am.  Pick up the phone and call Bad.  It still raining in Putra Perdana but he was already at the meeting point. Half an hour later, I have arrived at the point. The rain was stop and it's kind of cool.  Just right for Bad to make a come back after long hanging his bike at home.  

A comeback ride

We started paddling at 9 am heading to Selangor Science Park 2 thru ungazetted highway.  It will be use to link Putra Perdana to Cyberjaya and Elite Highway.  SSP2 was connected via another shortcut to Cyberjaya just right behind the MMU.  The sun still hiding behind the thick clouds and the winds blow gently.  Cycling in this condition was just feel right, ease and relax.  

Empangan Tasik Putrajaya

Memorable fun and easy ride

We were served with a moderate climbs and downs from MMU thru MDC, passing few marathon runners in front of the Cyberjaya Terminal. Next to MDC is Perdana Lake View Eastside, which is locate a exclusive lakefront community. It is set with a track for runner and bike along the lake facing Jambatan Seri Saujana and Yayasan Pemikiran Tun Mahathir.  We paddled lazily along the track till it take us to an apartment area before we met with the highway back.

Jambatan Seri Gemilang and PICC

Thanks to God, the weather is just nice when the clouds still hide the sun.  We were in front of PICC, crossing to Core Island via Jambatan Seri Gemilang and decided to ride along the lake instead of heading straight to Dataran Putra.  While riding under the Jambatan Seri Gemilang, it triggered to ride along the bank of the damn.  Till Jambatan Seri Bestari we cross over to Presint 16 and continue to ride till the memorial mark of Penutupan Empangan Utama dan Penakungan Tasik Putrajaya.  The event was completed by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on 12 January 2002. 

I live, I ride, I write

Magnificence ride thru the lens 

While crossing, the lake is on right and the Putrajaya Equestrian Park is on our left. What a magnificence feeling. A few snapshots is a must for this blog update.  That was the last point of our ride in Putrajaya.  Then we headed back to Cyberjaya for refueling.  The clock showed 12 pm and the sun start to shine. Not to hot and still able to ride.  Having a mee goreng mamak and warm lime just to replace the burned calories along the ride.  The ride continue to Putra Perdana, estimated around 15 minutes for another 5 km ride. The weather back to cloudy again and showed sign of raining later.  We still maintaining the ride at very low tense till we reached the Bad's shop. End of route.

Day 2

We planned to check out as early as 0700hrs, but we wake up at 0730hrs on Day 2. Huh!!! The morning ride was more like warming up and lazily paddled till Sungai Pelek for breakfast. Now we can see the peaceful scenery of kampung area, the economy activities they run for country contribution and the people of surrounding area. Then, we bumped with a group of riders that heading to Bagan Lalang. Maybe be they were from nearby area since no one carry backpack nor hydra-bag.

It was 0900hrs when we reached Kedai Mamak of Sungai Pelek, I've order roti sardin and nescafe tarik for today ride supplement. One family was having a breakfast, the kid look interest with our bikes and talk something to his dad. Dad and son talk. That very harmony and respect. I wish I could bring my family to ride together with me later some times. After that we continued the ride back to Putra Perdana.

The ride was smooth due it is still early in the morning. We stop every 20 minutes for quick drink and maintain 25km/h all the way to Salak Tinggi. Second break was at the stall near the highway after Kota Warisan before we entering Putrajaya area. Signboard show that 18km to Puchong and the time was around 1130am. I've estimate we could complete the ride about an hour to Putra Perdana. 18km shown was using the highway to Puchong but we were not using that route. We gonna turn into Cyberjaya and Pulau Meranti before reaching Putra Perdana later. By entering Pulau Meranti we are almost there, the end of our tour. So, we ride easily and enjoy every paddle we pushed.

By 1245hrs we reached our final destination. Congrats our-selves and celebrate the safe touring with a glass of ice lime. Thanks god for this successful touring and safety along the route. We gain a confident to make another touring next time. With on the road experience we have learned few thing about long distance touring. This will help a lot on my next journey and ultimate touring around Peninsular Malaysia next year, 2011. End of route.

Enjoy ride, be safe.
