Putrajaya Ride

Putrajaya is certainly beautiful. Every building is nicely build. Roads are free from potholes. Less traffic. It's a no brainer why cyclist use this as their training ground. The only thing lacking is hill climbs. While there are some uphill slopes on the road, it's not as bad as bukit hantu.

In the gang was Michelle, Raymond Hee, Raymond Ng, Yik Thing. Azmar and Bink followed us for awhile though.

At one point, I was pushing real hard on the cadence on the highest gear, and the bike zoom to 50km/h. The only thing preventing this bike going faster was my legs. I couldn't push anymore.

Raymond Ng is certainly darn fast on the bike as well. He was pushing for speed while approaching the toll to KLIA. I tried to catch up but couldn't.

In total, I had just rode 42km. I still could go on, but had to rush for work.

Later in the evening, I push for the hills for bukit segar again. It's all hill work at this area. It's either uphill or downhill. No flats. I have the intention of cycling up from HOA to genting highlands. Sounds tough, but some guys have done it, so it's pretty doable.

While chatting with Azmar, he mentioned my cassette is probably a 23. I have no idea what it was, until I figured out there's a difference of cassette size between his and mine. And mine was quite small, which makes up for speed, but uphill climb like Genting will be a tough one.

Still lots to learn on bikes...
