What a disappointment, ending the year with a fun ride. Joining the Putrajaya Interparks Ride 2011, is just only 25km ride. Supposedly I was to be joined by my fellow riders from JMC@Ampang, but as I arrived late, finding them in the crowd could be chaotic. so decided to ride own my own. As the riders were flag off at 9pm, I still took the opportunity to capture my photo. I really do not find appealing riding along the lake, during night time with more than 200 riders. You simply cannot enjoy the scenery, as you are to busy trying to avoid not hit any of the other riders. And the pavement does not helping at all, a few riders hit a small dividers as some of the pavement was not well lighted. Most of the riders only had front and back blinkers, and no front head light. After riding for one hour, we arrived at the first check point. Riders were given mineral water and banana, the basic food for cyclists.
After all the riders arrived at the checkpoint, we continue the ride. Arriving at Pct.2 at 11pm, the ride is finished, and I even did not break any sweat. Well, that's really disappoints me. After resting for 15 minutes, I decided not to wait for the new year countdown. Since I ride from my house at Semenyih, so I have to ride back too. Well, not back to Semenyih, I ride to Sg. Besi, to my in-laws. At exactly 12 o'clock, I was at plaza tol highway BESRAYA. So, stop for a while and enjoy the fireworks. From Putrajaya to Sg. Besi is only 18km, normally I dont need to stop along this route. After my cigarette break, I continue to ride to Sg. Besi. And that's it, my 2011 closing and 2012 opening ride. No epic ride.
