18th March Ride Putrajaya

 Last Sunday was a wash out again. This time, it was the Old Cocks to blame. Instead of just being Old Cocks. they have decided to be Lazy Old Cocks. Seems all the Old Cocks had something to do. One had to go back to his hometown for milk. Another Chickens to attend to. The rest decided it was more convenient to just roost for this Sunday. I am hoping they dont make a habit out of this. There is a good reason why we Klang natives never keep Old Chickens for long. Here, we are more practical with many things. old chicken makes good soup. Thats about all they are good for. However ways you want to argue, that is what we do with Old Roosters here.
   I was left all alone. Thought i will end up all alone this Sunday up some god forsaken hill. Out of the blue, came the Umno Youth to my rescue. So it was me and the 2 Brownie headed to Putrajaya Park for Sunday. Sounds like a plan...
   Met up for breakfast at HICOM 0715hour. 3 clowns. 3 coffee and 3 roti telur. Chit chat... Took off for Putrajaya as planned at 0815hour. On schedule, thumbs up. Looks like this Sunday was going to turn out fine and dandy. Happy me...
   Arrived at start point 0840hour. Unloaded the bikes. Normal routine follows. More chit chat. Comments about how dirty and ugly each others were. So much has changed since we started biking donkey years ago. Back then, it was always a clean shining bike on every Sunday morning. Religiously. No such thing as a speck on dirt on anyone's bike except for Ralf the Nazi. That fella is an exception. He thinks a dirty bike is an enviromental badge of honor. Makes him feel like he is a WWF honorary member. He also thinks its cool to be organic. We all know he is just plain lazy. But with him being a guest and us being Asians. Of course we do the Asian thing. We smile and give him the thumb, some thumbs may be longer . Some looks like a finger.
   Putrajaya Bike Park... nice. Short technical ups and downs. Sweet...
   Ran into a bunch of friends from Klang at the start point. Decided to be a bike whore. Shamelessly joined them for the ride. Took off into the hills. Counted about 10 riders. Saw Simon Teh the elusive. Still has the best looking bike. The dude still rides. Thumbs up.

   Went off into the trails. Trail condition perfect. Shaded bits. Damp ground. Spotted some parts that is wearing out. This happens when there is too many riders doing it week in week out. Nonetheless, still wonderful to be riding the trail again after so long. Was dissapointed though. None of the Brownie threw up this time. The last we came, we caught a roti canai shower right after the first climb up to the pondok. No such luck this time around.

   The ride was good. All in all. We managed 3km of riding in total. Yep, you read correctly. All 3km of sweat. Well more sweating from sitting down arguing whose bike was dirtiest actually. Nonetheless, it was 3km...

   It was off to the warung for another round of coffee after that. Ride started at 0900hours. Finished 1.2km of Trail riding. Caught 1.8km of Tarmac dowhill towards the car. 3km total. Ride completed at 0945hours. 4 rounds of coffee each. I really think we got high from caffeine instead of the dowhill.

   Blame the Old Cocks i say....
