IRDA Cyclists Club (ICC): Ronda Riadah Makan 05/2012

Another cycling session was held last night. Although the rain was pouring before that, it gradually stopped by the time we were ready for our ride.

This time it was super fun as we welcomed another new member, Norshahfinaz Abu Tazar. We thought she would not make it last night but she came in the end.

To Shahfinaz: welcome aboard, girl! She owns a Merida roadie for quite a while, only that she rarely uses it. Perhaps her roadie could be dust-less from now on. Her performance as the newcomer is not that bad, we would say. We aim to attract more female members of IRDA to join the club.

We also applauded Engku Ahmad Kamel for being able to catch up with the younger troop who left for cycling much earlier than him. Do note he was using the same route as the rest before reaching Dataran Bandaraya JB to join us for light dinner.

Apart from Engku and Shahfinaz, among the members attended this session were: 1. Fadzil Abdul Hamid; 2. Muhamad Saidan Sanib; 3. Suhaimi Mohd Salleh; 4. Iskandar Sabri Rahmat; 5. Emes Mukhris Mohd Mokhtar; 6. Safuan Yusof; 7. Mohd Afiq Ibrahim, and, 8. Nor Azyyati Ismail. Total: 10.

While waiting for Engku, we did our usual deed - pose for the camera

Since we have the new member, our chosen route was less complicated though we cycled quite the same distance of 21km like the previous ones with an average speed of 17.63 km/h. The next short term goal that we consensusly have in mind is to achieve at least 20 km/h. More ride outings to be organised for this later on.

The route used was the one from IRDA office (Jln. Skudai) - Jln. Thompson - Kolam Air - Jln. Sg. Chat - Dataran Bandaraya - Jln. Abu Bakar - Jln. Ayer Molek - Jln. Dato Dalam - Jln. Abdullah Ibrahim - Jln. Trus - Persiaran Tun Sri Lanang - back to Jln. Skudai.

We concluded our outing by having a photography session of the new batch of ICC except for Muhammad Saidan Sanib who actually just bought the Scott Sports roadie.
