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

Jambatan Seri Saujana at the background

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.

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.
