Went to Bukit Kiara in the evening. It has been awhile since I last cycled. After riding 2 rounds I was too lazy to push on to the third so I took a break at the hut. There, I met Azrul, I cycled with him along with one of his friends off road before. Previously, another larger group tagged along with us. Yesterday was a fairly quiet day. Not many cyclists. The both of us took a shorter version of the previous time. It was cut short by 20 minutes. Wasn't as tough as the other day, the trail was super dry.
We came out at 6.40pm. It gave me some time to stop by at my friend's place to pick up his used tire. Bought them for RM30, it was a real bargain. Although it is more than a year old, it was only used for a month or two.
I manage to watch an episode of 'Modern Marvels' today. Honestly, I use to think it was a boring show because the first episode I watch was about skyscrapers. Never knew that the show was in the buissness for so long. Started in 1996. I left my house for Bukit Kiara at 1.45pm. At 1pm, I hung my cycling pants in front of a fan, in desperation to dry it before I go out.
We cycled 2 rounds on tar mat road and up to the twin peak. We then came back down with the same trail up. It was quite a steep ride down, I was riding at a mean 25kmph? It was a chance for me to practice my handling as well as shifting my center of gravity. I almost got threw over my bike when i hit a bump right after a steep slope. As we cycled back, we unfortunately cycled into a rain storm. The rain was so heavy, I couldn't see anything 5meters away. We were separated after that. I was cycling really slowly because I fell somewhere along that highway last time. I waited for the rain to stop at SS2 Mcdonalds. I felt really cold, was shivering at that time.
Had a cup of warm coffee after I showered. Sometimes, after a day of enduring, you will find pleasure in the simplest things.
