Ronda Riadah Makan 04/2012

Last night was another weekly session of our Ronda Riadah Makan. We cycled using the new route SS3 (Anjung Nusajaya) with a total of 10 participants, the biggest session ever (more to come).


Emes (already an accomplished cyclist!) is the latest additional to our soon-to-be growing cycling club.   After a few weeks of persuasion attempts, he finally agreed to bring his Giant bicycle from Putrajaya to JB as to solely cycle with us.

According to my trip computer, we cycled a total distance of 21km with an average speed of 19km/h. This time, I used an iPhone application called Cyclemeter - the accuracy is quite astonishing. However, because I neglected to "stop" the clock when we arrived at the destination, the average speed and cycle time became inaccurate. You can view the route yesterday by clicking HERE.

This time, most of us started from Jalan Rawa, Taman Perling, at Muhd Noor's shop Nur Ikhsan Trading where a few of us bought our bicycles from. Muhd Noor was also planning to cycle last night, but his group planned to start at 9:30pm (we finished our ride at 10pm).

2 of us, namely Shahriman and Saidan, started their ride from our office in Danga Bay. They had to cross an additional 3 bridges (6 if you count the return trip) and that feat certainly deserves our respect. Salute!

The ride last night was a bit more challenging than the previous rides as there were more slopes throughout the route. Nevertheless, we all enjoyed the challenge and ride. The cool night air rushing past through us, hearing the wind whistle, the pedalling through flyovers brings a sense of achievement and bliss for us all!

We will be doing another feature post on another cyclist today, so stay tuned!
