First ride on my new mountain bike-The Black Rider(Trek 3700).Trip odom:9.50km,max speed:22.6km/hr.Mov Average speed:10.9km/hr.Thank God I can ride,again!
Before I left home,my wife insisted that I take along my mobile phone-just in case.Starting at 0717 hrs,I wore a white t-shirt my brother-in-law gave me,I also took with me a few of my other gadgets: Garmin GPSmap 60CSx,a Leatherman knife,my iPod and a volant moleskine notebook to write my journal.
At first, my bike wobbled a bit but I managed to keep it straight and stable.The cool morning air energized me and the almost no traffic helped me concentrate pedaling my bike slowly and steadily.I set my gear to 1+7-for quite an easy ride.To cross over from Desa Pandan to Angsana Hilir,there was a 45 degrees climb over a box culvert.That was tough for me even for a short climb but I managed to cycled until I reached the top.However,I had to stop for a breather..
Overall,I really enjoyed my Sunday morning ride and on the way home,I stopped at Pasar Wirawati for a laksam treat.Unfortunately,something bad happened to 'kuah laksam' today and the seller refused to serve me.So,I moved to my favourite roti canai store and met my POP group gang.Another bad news-the lady only can serve me Nescafe tarik but no roti canai.The owner was away to attend to family emergency.It is a blessing in disguise for me so that I have less calories in my body for today.
NB: POP=Persatuan Orang Pencen
