Taking a rest under the shady tree..
On the way back from Cyberjaya[we started at Umai Cafe,Putrajaya at 8:15am],we stopped for a few minutes to avoid the continuous hot sun at 11am next to PICC..There were 9 of us using all types of bikes~3MTB,1Roadie and the rest are Foldies..and we did 25km.Thanks to Tajuddin for leading the tribe and the photo.

Cycling in Cyberjaya..
My youngest son could not ride with me last Saturday so he wanted to cycle with me today.When my riding buddy Tajuddin suggested that we ride from Putrajaya to Cyberjaya,I immediately said yes and decided to go and join him.He suggested we ride 12km and have breakfast at The Mall.Since I know the place,it did not scare me about cycling there.
On the way,I enjoyed good sceneries as typical of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya landscapes but the long climbs to a few elevated intersections are quite challenging on my weak and old knees.Surely it is not for newbies~one needs good stamina to overcome the hurdles.
On the way, I tried to ride on the bike lanes but there were not enough trees compared to the promenade areas around Putrajaya.On one stretch of the lane,we had to pass though almost 100m underpass with no light at all!Very dangerous indeed if one is cycling alone.
After having roti bakar and half boiled eggs at Hassan Cafe,we took a detour to pay a visit to MMU.There,our group of 9 cyclists was given permission to go around but with an escort[a security guard riding a motor-cycle] to ensure that we behave ourselves.
This time,my son was using my folding bike[FB] and I was using my MTB trek 3700 with semi sleek tyres.I thought it is lighter for me for long distance cycling but I discovered that FB is a better alternative for me to ride on road.In my case,since I am scared riding the real roadies,FB is MY roadies.

CATEYE MICRO WIRELESS SPEEDOMETER
With the help of my son,I managed to install this speedometer for my bicycle.I need this gadget to measure my speed(actual/ave/max) so that I donot exceed my physical limitations.Sometimes,I got carried away when I am with more able and younger men..
At the same time,I can keep a log of my cycling distance for each month.InsyaAllah,I will test this gadget this morning at Putrajaya Wetland.By the way, this will be my first visit to this wetland and I hope to discover a few interesting living things there and at the same time take a few photographs.My younger friends will also bring their wives and kids to have picnic there while we big boys are having fun with our cycling.

More than two years later I now use Sports Tracker on my smart phone.At times,I don't bother because I knew the routes too well after umpteen times cycling at the same trails..
Photography while cycling..
When we stop for water or to catch our breath during our cycling activities,we take opportunity to snap our group photo and snapping arond to capture good sceneries as we discover them..Here is one blurred one taken last night from Jambatan Seri Wawasan towards Masjid Sultan Mizan in Putrajaya..
