if u ride alone, bring two tubes with some patches just to be well prepared. if u ride with friends, just one tube and some patches.

don't forget to write a ride report here, ok?

haha..thx..will do. for that distance i'll stock up some powerbars and gels for sure. biggrin.gif

alone... you mad? with a sufferfest like this... you need mates to accompany you through the journey to hell...
wat the heck is that? wat charges you when you run out of charge... chicken & egg situation here...

the china one will most probably give you a shock or fry your iphone when you plug it in...
expect all hell to break lose on you... no amount tubes, powerbar/gel or steroid can prep you for that...

or at least that is wat i think the time i tried it riding from home... or, maybe i didn't have my dose of EPO the day before  rclxub.gif

my pointers... just bring enough money and a fully charged phone... and put supercab on speed dial in case you need one mid-way through the ride and enough money to pay for cab fees...
thought there is a way to take the bentong road to the kampung and then head up from there... don't dare try myself cause it's a long climb back up if cannot...
*
haha thx bro..yea I guess since it's gonna be my virgin ride attempt up the loop..better i ask my cycling buddies to tag along...I never ride solo for a long distance before..tried HOA-sempah before and regret doing that alone..it's too risky.

im gonan bring 2 handphones just in case one failed..equipped with 2 telcos..

i dont have the patch tubes lor..

i tried a small section of genting climb..haha particularly from goh tong to awana to and fro..the climb was.....ungodly. haha. later that night went up for a drive with a car to the peak.and it was then I realize how the total genting climb was overkill for cyclists..especially me newbie.

policeguard will block you from climbing up..and the traffic there are damn fast! one car take the corner too deep in the apex and you are just in front of the blindspot corner..there you go..to heaven or hell...depending on your prevertness level.

but i do wish they closed down the road just to allow us cyclist to climb and smile...

btw, u know the route? where to start? i forget the route but i remember things i did during the ride.

we stop at Titi to eat wan tan mee....
then continue... passby K.Kleweng town...
then i thinks after dont know whats long hills, immediate after end of downhill at the junction, there's a fruit stall selling nice sweet watermelon! we can stop there....

after the watermelon, further abit, it's the Bukit Tangga! it's look short, but it's bloody hilly!

after that, the ride is not much hilly.. some little rolling hills... then we can stop by at Broga town... refuel...

then, after that, i have no idea how to back to Bt 14 / Kajang.  rclxub.gif 

hmm... which date? really hard to find 1. any suggestion?
*
how does bukit tangga compared to bukit hantu? more challenging? longer?

5k gets you nothing nowadays... my only advice is not to expect too much.. stay with you budget or wait a while more and save up to buy the better one.. you don't want to blow your budget getting over your head...
food poisoned... means a lot came out of you? DAMN!!!.. you'll climb faster tomorrow  rclxms.gif

ATTACK!!!

yeah..threw a whole lot of junks. must be around 1-2kg worth of whistling.gif haha..no attack tomorrow..still recuperating

Vi Ann I'm sorry couldn't make it on time last Sun. Boy there were a lot of cyclists on Sun. Is the big peloton the group you Waited? I think close to 25 riders or more.

Watching cycling Live now on Eurosport and I think I fall in love with Bianchi Oltre...s works Tarmac has went down on my list now..how much isit for an Oltre? No Malaysian shop selling one right?

contador could not match rodriguez... just saw him lost his wheel at the line... jus a couple of bike lengths... but this is a crazy stage with 24% gradients...

think his age is catching up with him...

Well he needs clenbuterol to match Rodriguez..haha but the latter looks damn strong. Froom was left in the dust.
