Cycling path - Gears

Sunday ride 080412 to Titi and back which i mentioned i had 3 flats in the last 15KM.
Initially I thought i was went off road a bit and it's the source of flats, but i'm seem wrong.
I changed new tube and pump 110 psi and my  burst ! OMG...
How could this happened!

Side wall burst! gone. $$$ fly.... 

Just comparing old tube vs new tube... 

I have not done any survey on new tyre as i did not expect i need to change one so soon! I have totally zero preparation / knowledge / budget on which to get. It's all depend on the shop recommendation. 

Tubes.

Since started to ride on November 2011, prior to last Sunday ride, i'm only have 2 flat. 

1 front and 1 back. Life is good. All these was prior to cycle @ Hulu Langat Peres. 

Lesson learnt: Any tiny change in bike braking can cause tyre wall being wore out and subsequent tyre burst!  Be sensitive to bike. Be sensitive to bike... 

Lastly, some gossip. Today, after 100km ride to Batang Berjuntai, I got a chance to meet with a P2K veteran who retires 2 years ago... He talks... talks... talks... 

oh yeah, the main point is he is making return to action in cycling! 重出江湖！ 

Weekend Cycling Ride 080412 - Titi w P2K

After done Broga loop on Saturday with so many "First", I'm back at Hulu Langat route again the next day but with P2K riders. 

We started from Batu 14 to Titi and back. 

...Silent...

...Silent...

...Silent... 

Pray for fast recovery, bro... 

Starting with flat.... soon it's Perez hills again. 2nd times climbing the same hills in 2 days. Somehow, I'm not able to push harder as my maximum heart rate stay around 167 bpm. I'm tend to slow down and keep my cadence constant paddle uphills... 

After suffering like hell in uphills, there's reward after that on going downhills... yet, i'm still dropped from the pelonton... Trying hard to catch up... 

Suddenly there's an ice-cream motor appeared in front of me, I'm overtake him while going down hills... after the downhills, I'm cycle alone... and i saw far far away, there's another riders... 

While i'm trying to catch up, the ice-cream motor was overtake me again, without thought, power up, followed the ice-cream motor! It's was feel good factor looking at the ice-cream cons and keep paddle hard to maintain speed behind the ice-cream motor... "Dont go away ice-cream, let me follow you" 

From 30km/hr plus and followed behind ice-cream motor with 40km/hr and ice-cream motor getting faster and paddle even harder to draft behind... Drafting behind ice-cream motor for some distance and dropped when i cant keep up the speed... That's when i'm catch up with other 3 riders. 

4 of us, we start to pull each others. I learnt something new today. Team works are very important when come to drafting. 

Had our breakfast re-fuel wan tan mee @ Titi again... 

In the last 15KM, i was went off road a while when cornering turning into junction while coming downhills... and bad luck strike! I had Flat... tyre blowing loud! Grrr... Fun was cut short... else we would continue speeding back to Batu 14...

Changed tube. Continue ride. We regroup and we were drafting and not long after that, I had another flat again! Grrr...  Flat strike twice !!! After changed tube, 1 of cyclist says: " if you have flat again, we will left you tube and pump to change yourself, while we continue ride."

In the last 5KM, we all speed up, TIME TRIAL...
Just when I reached at the traffic light, 50 meter before reaching at car, i had my third flats ! FML...
Just push the bike back to car... 3 flats in last 15KM. When back at home, checked the tube, it's leak at same spot with quite a big hole. Yet i checked my tyre and rim, there's no foreign object inside!

Another 100KM clocked on Sunday.

Life.



作詞：阿信 作曲：阿信

會不會 有一天 時間真的能倒退 
退回 你的我的 回不去的 悠悠的歲月 
也許會 有一天 世界真的有終點 
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜 
和你再乾一杯 


如果說 要我選出 代表青春 那個畫面 
浮現了 那滴眼淚 那片藍天 那年畢業 
那一張 邊哭邊笑 還要擁抱 是你的臉 
想起來 可愛可憐 可歌可泣 可是多懷念 

懷念總是 突然懷念 不談條件 
當回憶 衝破考卷 衝出歲月 在我眼前 
我和你 留著汗水 喝著汽水 在操場邊 
說好了 無論如何 一起走到 未來的世界 

現在就是 那個未來 那個世界 
為什麼 你的身邊 我的身邊 不是同一邊 
友情曾像 諾亞方舟 堅強誓言 
只是我 望著海面 等著永遠 模糊了視線 

會不會 有一天 時間真的能倒退 
退回 你的我的 回不去的 悠悠的歲月 
也許會 有一天 世界真的有終點 
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜 
和你再乾一杯 


這些年 買了四輪 買了手錶 買了單眼 
卻發現 追不到的 停不了的 還是那些 
人生是 只有認命 只能宿命 只好宿醉 
只剩下 高的笑點 低的哭點 卻沒成熟點 

成熟就是 幻想幻滅 一場磨鍊 
為什麼 只有夢想 越磨越小 小到不見 
有時候 好想流淚 好想流淚 卻沒眼淚 
期待會 你會不會 他會不會 開個同學會 

他在等你 你在等我 我在等誰 
又是誰 孩子沒睡 電話沒電 心情沒準備 
天空不斷 黑了又亮 亮了又黑 
那光陰 滄海桑田 遠走高飛 再沒力氣追 

會不會 有一天 時間真的能倒退 
退回 你的我的 回不去的 悠悠的歲月 
也許會 有一天 世界真的有終點 
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜 
和你再乾一杯




會不會 有一天 時間真的能倒退 
退回 你的我的 回不去的 悠悠的歲月 
也許會 有一天 世界真的有終點 
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜 
和你再乾一杯 

終究會 有一天 我們都變成昨天 
是你 陪我走過 一生一回 
匆匆的人間 

有一天就是今天 
今天就是有一天 
說出一直沒說 對你的感謝 
和你再乾一杯 
再乾一杯永遠 
喝了就能萬歲 
歲歲和年年 

時間都停了 他們都回來了 
懷念的人啊 等你的來到 

時間都停了 他們都回來了 
懷念的人啊 等你的來到

Salomon X-Trail Run 2011

Salomon X-Trail Run was my 1st ever trail running race. 

Since i'm into trail running since 2011 July, the Salomon X-Trail run came in handy which held on 11th Sept 2011. 

For the 1st time, I'm getting to know Salomon more closer. 

The trail start with muddy water ! 

First time running at UPM... It's really nice! 

The whether was cooling as there's were rains in yesterday night! 

The trail, not that bad... 

Going up hills... 

Hills... 

Going up hill slowly enjoying every movement of trail running @ UPM 

Look who behind me! hehe... 

From top over look the lake and highway... 

Salomon X-Trail run number 1 supporters ! 

Photo with No.1 supporters ! haha 

Grass trail while going uphills again. 

Was in the mood as TMBT was just about 2 months away! 

(dam, i still remember it, as i'm now writing it after 7 months, *faint* ) 

It's just feel so peaceful and quite... 

Peaceful lake as background...

My NewBalance MT101 served me well... 

No problem! 

Trail running = Salomon

Salomon =  Killian Jornet.

:)  

No doubt, trail running was another new chapter in my usual running. 

Revolights - Kickstarter

I was looking for lighting system for my bike where i'm planning to have evening cycling after sky is dark.
Been looking for cheap China made option till the expensive lighting yet it's look not that promising and it's normal. It's not something that interest me by looking at it online.

Somehow, i'm came to this Revolight project in kickstarter. It's an awesome lighting system that makes me feel excited about it! I wanted to get it when i'm 1st saw it.

Amazing right! 

Amazing is one thing. So automatically the next thing to look for is the price tag. It's really turn off for me, at least as a Malaysian, it's not yet in the market, but scheduled to launch in late June 2012 with a price tag of USD220 plus international shipping of USD30.

Those who contribute in Kickstarter paid USD200 with international shipping USD30. They will be the first batch users receiving Revolights when it's ready.



Enjoy the video.

You ran to eat and to avoid being eaten; you ran to find a mate and impress her, and with her you ran off to start a new life together. You had to love running, or you wouldn't live to love anything else. We were born to run; we were born because we run.
