CYCLING IS MY PASSION....

back in year 2007, Cyfora Race 2007 Malacca

hello everyone....
for this time, nak share about my favourite sport which is CYCLING...
or dalam bahasa melayu berbasikal...
tapi yang aku minat ni,bukan le basikal yg tua ler...


hehe....
to be specific, road bike....


from wikipedia:

"A road bicycle is a synonym for the term racing bicycle.In general road bicycles have drop handlebars and multiple gears, although there are single and fixed gear varieties.

It is also used less formally for any bicycle designed for use primarily on paved roads, as opposed to off-road terrain."

mesti most of us penah naik beskal..
time kecik2 dlu....
ala,beskal roda ampat tuh...

kanak-kanak riang dgn basikal

kalo tak pernah, kesian giler korang...
hehehe...
just kidding!

aku start minat cycling ni, waktu tu ade masuk Duathlon (race yg ada discipline run-bike-run)..
time tu masuk group and aku jadi runner je...
tgk competitor lain semua seronok je cycling...
time tuh dah minat giler...

so,berbekalkan wang PTPTN yg disimpan...
beli la sebuah basikal besi dari kawan aku..
time tu beli RM800 kot...
Road Bike brand Colnago, tapi frame besi la...
agak berat, tapi ok la utk beginner...
time tuh dah start training sendiri2...
and balajar jgk dgn sorang member aku dak UIA gak..
HAfiz namanye..
dia dulu team Johor and naik SUKMA semua la...
training bodoh2 je time tuh, attire pon selebet jer...

bila dah bosan training sensorang, terasa nak join group kayuh...
member2 time tuh ade cakap,suruh checkout group kat net named : way2ride
so,aktiviti biasa la...
aku type google:
dah jumpe,aku pon join le group nih.....
honestly, everyone dalam group ni mmg friendly and welcoming...


fyi, way2ride ni adalah satu group cycling kat malaysia yg base kat forum internet..
kat forum ni la cyclists amatur ke,pro ker, "perasan pro" pon ada berkongsi citer and knowledge pasal basikal...
kt forum ni jugak ,ada post weekend ride...
so, every weekend kebanyakan yg berkayuh kat forum tuh akan turun berkayuh atas dunia yg nyata la...
syiok kayuh ramai2 dgn group way2ride...

bila dah penat naik beskal besi tuh,biasa la...
kepala nak pikir upgrade jer....
beskal besi tuh berjaya dijualkan...
so,angkat 2nd bike aku : Specialized Sequioa.

ni bike Specialized selepas beskal besi tuh...

aku ingat lagi, first ride long distance aku start dgn way2ride la...
that time dorng buat Merdeka Ride dari gombak ke Teluk Batik....
dgn training yg tak cukup,aku dgn yakin je join...
hahahahahaha...
baynagkan ler braper jauh gombak dgn teluk batik tuh...
around 250km jgk la....
for beginner mcm aku,mmg ler naik cramp...
ade la 2 - 3 kali gak naik pickup truck coz dah kong....!
tp selamat gak sampai...
sejak dari tuh aku jadi segan ngan rider way2ride time tuh...
pastu aku makin semangat nak training...
taknak kena tinggal lagi!
thankz Azli, Usin dan lain2....
hehe

This is just the intro for this topic...

so,tunggu sambungan nya..... (untuk sesape yg berminat la.. hahah)
