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.
