Cycling with KL SightSee-ing & R.I.P to cyclist

Before begins with my post, I shall contribute my 1 minute silent to Cyclist Rafizi Hamdan who was hit by Proton Saga at MRR2 this morning (18 March 2012)

R.I.P. Rafizi Hamdan. 

Although I dont know you, but we have common passion. 

It's was heartbreaking news that i saw on Facebook when back from cycling today. 

Yesterday, Saturday, 17 March 2012, with some light workout in mind, planning for today's major cycling distance, I went for some leisure photos ride from my place.

Total distance covered were 40KM plus plus... went around few places... It's really a different KL when you're on the bike. 

Begins with Jln Gombak. Less traffic on Sat morning. :) 

When I was 1st time riding, I never expect this. This is when I realised I can ride to Muzium Orang Asli from my place! 

Bad luck. This signage reminds me of tyre pancat ! 

Batu Caves! Loving it. 

The 3 lanes road. 

Beautiful condo. 1Sentul. 

I can verify this! The walk / cycling path is wide and it's until Batu Caves Industrial area which about few KM long. I ran on it before! enjoyed it. 

Running / cycling path with shade. 

I read somewhere. The opposite of 1Sentul will be some condo project. But the illustration / the artist impression is total wrong. Perhaps not the same venue?  

hmmm... You're will never runs of out petrol... 

Nice weather on Saturday morning... 

Old vs New. The condo opposite the new condo 1Sentul. 

The vacant land which said to be one of the new condo project... 

In this photo, it's seems not good. Dirty river, opposite river is factory and worst high voltage cable... 

The high voltage cable that run pass Gombak / Setapak... 

The same high voltage cable but its not Gombak nor Setapak... 

Can guess where and which condo is this? haha... 

I thinks 1 of my friend will know... :) 

Jalan Ipoh !!! Was riding alone, if in group, we can stop at Dim Sum shop for breakfast... 

The Capers ! From photo, you might not able notice about the leaning building! 

I can see it's really leaning! Awesome construction engineering ! 

My RoyalSelangor Postcard running out! Instead went home, I'm cycled till Royal Selangor Pewter ! hehe... 

Left bike at reception, and went inside to get my postcard. 

The staffs @ Receptions seem a bit surprise when I bring my bike in. haha...

Go Green! 

Postcards refilled. Recharged. Continue my Postcrossing !

Broccoli

In the past few months, i'm been trying to practice healthy diet over my self cooked dinner. 

From plain pasta till vegetable dinner... 

Broccoli is one of my favourite as i like its simple to cook. 

Just boil for few minutes and it's done! 

Can you guess how much is this broccoli ? I brought it from NSK wholesale supermarket 

The broccoli are too much for me! 

Just plain vege do helps in maintaining my weight. If i'm were to do more workout, my weight is reduce! 

Twilight Ultra Challenge 2012

Last year, the Twilight Ultra Challenge (TUC) is a stranger race / challenge to me. 

I'm just focus on my Sundown Ultra. 

Since after Sundown Ultra, any Ultra races / Challenge I'm quite aware of it as I have confidence on my ability to complete the challenge unlike last year. 

Twilight Ultra Challenge is not a race, but rather a challenge to myself. 

btw, before that i got a confession to make. 

"I have not run a single KM since HK100" 

Guess, i'm tired of Foreveralone Ultra training. Giving myself a break on running. 

But, when I'm registered for TUC, i never thought of my current situation. I know I'm going to challenge myself as at that point of time, I'm on ultra running fever! 

So, TUC, no benchmark being set, just run walk crawl for minimum of 6-7 hours having my Burger King meal break, and McD meal break in between when feels hungry... 

Life is not about just running! 

Looking forward to test my new found Hammer nutrition! 

Wonder what number will i get ....! 

Some figures about TUC: 

210 Registered Participants
164 Individual Participants
14 Teams with 46 Participants
Almost 2,000 litres of water
1,000 Bananas
10 Watermelons
10,000 Cups
Uncountable sweat, tears... and some blood :) 

Good luck to all TUC participants! 

Twilight Ultra Challenge 

Aloe Vera @ Klang Valley

In the last weekend outing, i was heavily sun burnt from the outing from 7:45am till 1:30pm under the hot sun! 

Showed my sun burnt to friend and my friend suggested Aloe Vera will helps! 

Was cracking my head, looking for aloe vera, google-ing... 

But disappointed. Resolve to old fashion method by asking colleagues and friends around! 

Within two days i got the answer! 

Yesterday, i came across ! 

Guess what i found! 

 

This is really huge! I never see this huge Aleo Vera before although i'm from small hometown, even my house also have aloe vera, but never this huge!

The Aloe Vera!!! 

Due to tomorrow are going to SG, put this Aloe Vera in the fridge first... 

Shall enjoy the cool aloe vera gel once back from SG Twilight Ultra Challenge!
