Kota Damansara Ride 5th JULY 2015

Kota Damansara "Take your friend for a ride" Ride 5th JULY 2015:-

Teres checking out the Danish buns.

   Returning from the long confusing weekend in Cameron Highlands, KDCF was a much welcomed ride invite. It will be a late 0800 hours ride time. Not having to drive 90 minutes to the trail head is a blessing. So KDCF it was...

Teres re-checking the Danish buns.

    The usual crowd at the Section 9 toilet started gathering on Sunday. Most of the guys decided to bring their friends for this week's ride. Teres brought his 2 beo's. KY brought a Danish dude that is slightly shorter than a coconut tree. Yellow Manta brought 3 prosperous Minions from the banking industry. King Kenny brought a dude that was fasting and late. Borky brought himself. Victor was happy cycling in circles when we were getting ready. Jacky wanted to bring somebody but nobody wanted to ride in his MPV. Krankster as usual came smiling to himself for some reason unknown to us. Choi! was supposed to bring Mei. Mei promised to come by herself  instead. For once Choi! showed up at the trail head on time.

Manta helmet off.

   Krankster as usual gave the group his usual briefing. Took him a good 3 seconds to realise nobody was listening. So off we went into KDCF. King Kenny stayed back for his friend to arrive. Choi! also told us to move ahead. He still harbours hope that Mei might show up. KY took a look at Choi! and shook his head... Victor giggled to himself. Being love struck really does make a man hope for silly things. For all you know, he might be praying for Mei to bring him mangoes.
   Into KDCF. The climb begins. Nobody spoke. It was full focus cranking till we came to the first rest point inside Harmoni. Some chatter and off we went again. Trail condition. Almost perfect. Slight damp with gentle breeze.

Do not smell shoes during ride.

   Arrive at the Temuan junction. Nobody said anything again. Off into Temuan and back to the Scouts junction. Then a quick run down towards lakeside. Arrive down at the usual feeding hut where most of the guys were waiting. A bit more chatter before it was decided it's time to move along back towards the car. Choi! protested and begged, we had to tell him.
   Mei is not coming today... You are really all alone today. Poor guy was stunned. No mangoes and no, we will not hold your hands while you sit. If the pain is unbearable, take a good look at the lake. Choose a spot carefully. It was nice knowing you....
   So off we went. Another near silent ride back towards the car...

Take your friend for a ride scene 1:-

Minions.

   Bring 3 minions for the ride. Make sure they are lagging behind you all the time. Get away from their line of sight. Each time you stop. Release the air from your tyres and get one of the minions to pump the air for you while you have your apple. Supervise while they struggle to get the correct pressure. Do not dirty your hands. Your are eating your apple remember? Compliment them at the end of each successful air refill. Then repeat the cycle as often as you. When they start getting suspicious, blame the air loss on technical things using technical jargon's... Then compliment the minions again on their acute sense of observation. Give each a pat on the back. Continue chewing the apple.
   The Manta brought many apples and buns last Sunday.

More minions...

   Tell your friend to show up 15 minutes behind the actual agreed starting time. When he arrives, tell him to hurry up and make him chase after the main group. Make plenty of hissing sound while you chase. Do not smile. Tell your friend to take all the left turns in the trail. Then you ride off quickly. Make sure your friend is unable to keep up. It's ok. It is not possible for him to get lost inside the trail. You did give him specific instructions to keep left all the time. Switch on your Ipod and ride off like a bat from hell. Ignore the pain in the chest or the beeping sound from your heart rate monitor. Focus on taking all the left turn except for the last one where your turn right to connect back into Harmoni again.
   Kenny's friend only rode in a circle twice before he realized something was wrong. He decided to hook on to Robert instead and finally found the elusive right turn. And upon returning, find Kenny sitting under the tree with a very disappointed look on his face.

Take your friend for a ride scene 3:-
   The ride was almost 3 hours in total. Borky came alone. It was ok, he was with his friends after all. Poor Borky kept asking for food each time we stopped for a break or to wait for the back markers.

   " Where are we going for food later ya...?"
   "  Are we going for roti at Subaidah later....?"
   "  You think i should order the Curry Fish Head or the Mee Goreng..?"
   " Waa.. today's ride is long eh? I am hungry."
   " Eh... it's almost 11 already. Come la.. let's go get something to eat..."
   " Long time never eat Bak Kut Teh eh... mmmm."
   " Eh... it's almost 12 already. Come la.. let's go get something to eat.." 

   Out of consideration for the poor guy. The entire group hurried back to the car. We didn't want Borky to suffer unnecessarily. As fast as we could, everyone packed up and got ready to get lunch for poor Borky suffering hunger pangs the past 3 hours on the saddle. Come on now ... hurry hurry.

   Borky was nowhere to be seen. He decided to go home to hug his wife.

   Smile and promise to meet at the trail head. Do not trouble your friend.

   " No need to come pick me up this weekend. I'll get there by myself. 0800 hours for the ride to begin right? Noted. I'll be there. See you. Dried mangoes right? xoxo..."

Pure agony.

   Mei is having a blast down in Sydney. Check out her Facebook posting... Choi! firmly believes it was simply a case of misunderstanding and a break in the line of communication. That was what he told the Vietnamese masseur.
  The masseur is well trained. She only laughed in the toilet after Choi! left...

Circus is in town...

Un'believeable...
