My youngest son,a 21-year old boy has just completed his Diploma in Civil Engineering.Now he has more time to ride with me and today we did 18.18km MTB ride.We started off at Kelab Tasik,Putrajaya,then rode along the boardwalk at Precinct 10,passing through my 'secret garden' to P8 and Istana Darul Ehsan and rode to P16 via P2.Just after about half kilometre from Taman Warisan Pertanian we took the lakeside cycling path all the way to PM Dept and back to Kelab Tasik.The ride took about 1 hr 45 min with a few stops at bridges,weir and birds santuary.
As we passed under a bridge, I showed my son the substructures that support the bridge deck.Along the lake ride, we also stopped at a weir, a water structure to control the water level and I explained its function.As we cycled towards PM Dept,I saw two islands full of birds.We sat there watching the birds flying in and out-just like a busy airport!I know what Airbus and Boeing 747 look like but when it comes to bird's type,I failed to answer my son's enquiries.Luckily, he did not ask me about the 'birds and the bees'.Otherwise,I will ask him to google the Internet;-)
