My First Real Off road.

Remember when i talked about getting sweat in entulang bungkang road....Hehehe that nothing compared with what i experienced yesterday. Ridhuan texted me yesterday morning and asking my conformation to join Abang Jamal and friends to hash at Stumbin. Im stuck with my schedule to kuching but...if not today...i wont get any!!! So i ready myself and put my KHS inside my car and fetch Ridhuan at Taman Bayu at 6.40. At 7.00 Ian just came and we having breakfast together at Mat Canai. We wait for Abang Jamal and company at Open Air and start our journey to Sri Aman-Stumbin-Kejatau-Sri Aman. Estimated about 40km. We reached Sri Aman at almost 1.00 pm.

Chased by dog!!!

My sons, Munawar and Muiz want to join me ride this afternoon. The sky look not promising. The cloud look heavy and i have to pick my daughter Maisarah at her KAFA Class. Ridhuan texted me. He said that he wanted to paddling up to Temudok hill. That sounds exciting..well after picked up maisarah, me and my sons ready to ride. We started quite late at almost 6 o'clock we ride through jalan hollis. Just passing SMK Sri Aman, I heard a dog barking behind me...and when i looked back...i saw one crazy brownish dog chassing me. I keep my speed up and ride as fast as i can. My sons lefted at the back and ride a bit slowly and luckly the dog ignore them. We ride up to Temudok and almost arrive at Sabu, I saw a blinker from my friends who waiting me. Ridhuan decided not to go up further due to the weather condition. Well we decide to go back. Ridhuan , Abang Moss and a the other guy (sorry i dont know his name) allured me to go for a dusk ride to Sri Aman town. Well I accompanied my sons to Jalan MichealPilo and ordered them to go home and I went down to Sri Aman Town. Heavy downpour splashed over me..and its getting dark. A lot of vehicles along side the road make me feel unsafe. I ride steadily and managed to reached at KFC but didnt see any sign of ridhuan and friends waiting. So i thought they already got home. I continued ride back at home...and reach at home at 8.00 pm.

Soooo tired lah......Later Ridhuan texted me and asking me to join the off road ride at Stumbin.

mmmmmm...............oh yeahhh.......

The view on dusk

Lelah na....baru balit dari ngohet ag dapat posing indah

Jalan kat sini berbatu tapi kena beware sebab banyak asuk!!!! (Anjinglah)

Im Addicted

Nak test helmet baru sebenarnya.....


Oh man, its almost 5 but the meeting still in fresh conducted by my headmaster. He talk about the remedial programme for those slow learner student. I had to wait until 5.05 then he ended the meeting. "Jom minum lok, kitak nanti di Asam Pedas", he's inviting me to had some refreshment at the cafe downtown. " Agik boss kamek nak gohet behari tok", I had to get change first. At 5.30 pm, Im on my full apparel and grab my bike and ride. "Woi...sitok lok", i heard my boss shouting when I pass the Asam Pedas Cafe. I stopped by and join them for a tea tarik. We had a chat about school and sports. 5.45 I started to ride solo to Temudok hillfoot. I use the Entulang Bungkang Offroad and the weather give a sign to be raining soon. I complete my round and straight back to my house. Im managed to reached home before downpour.

My First Off Road. (Unchallenging but worthly)

Im planning to do solo ride on Saturday morning but the heavy downpour flushed over Sri Aman from 5am until 9am looked imposible for me to cycling. So I cancelled my planning and stick to my usual bussines during weekend, stay tight in a couch and watch HBO. No Lah sometimes i had to do some housework too. At 4.00 pm my instict put me on the phone to Ridhuan. He said that he and Ian just started to ride at Kampung Hilir to Stumbin Road. Well I want to join them and I suggested to use a trail near Temudok Hill. So Ridhuan asked me to waited at Sri Aman Stadium while he and Ian fetched me. After a while we meet and form a group of three and ride down south to Temudok Hill. A few minute we reached a junction to Taman Harmoni and turn toward a small trail of gravel road trek. Yup!!!! my first off road experience will be come reality. Three of us keep padlling smooth and easy. There no hard obsticle just a few patch of hole and an accessive of water from the creek poured over the road resembling a small creek. We ride freely until reached the foothill and started hashed ourselves with steepe climbing. The road is terribly steepe and i had to use a very low gear to climb up. Mircleously Ian just climb it as easy as A.B.C . Ridhuan and me felt tired and stop in the middle of the hill. We're surrender.

Then we strike down with full speed...........my goodness its really chilling me.....so damn fast.

After a few moment for rest and we ride back home. For me....that is a good started and i will do better in next encounter. Bye

My Routine

I just the novice. Yup you can consider that for a year of experience in mountainbiking. I just knew about hashing, freeride and downhill. I also consider as lucky to become a friend to the most experience young rider Ian, from Kuching. He's alway hashed in Sri Aman during visiting his wife and inlaw. Include him is my new friend Ridhuan a banker. Im not intended to flushed my life to become a professional in cycling. My intension is to improved my healthy living. Then i choose mountainbiking. Its trill, excitment and man's sport. So set my routine to do paddling around Sri Aman town. It tooks 1 and 1/2 hours to complete a full round from my house to town and Temudok Hill foot and back to my house again.

My eldest sons Munawar always accompanied my ride alongside. Well here some photo when we take a 'pit stop'.
