The chain is broken

I am now on my bed, two hours before midnight.
No cycling today/nite.
After cycling everyday/nite, the chain is broken today.
There was not enough quorum to ride tonite. Only one PERs member responded to join me.
I decided to call it off.
Maybe it is also good because the small bulge/lump at the back of my head is giving me some discomfort.It feels like bisul but there is no sign as such yet.
Can feel a slight pain when touched.Maybe i should get expert medical help tomorrow.

And i need some rest too, because tomorrow, i will join my wife who is fasting on the 10th day of Muharram. Got to get up for sahur.

First Monday of the Year

I did not feel right when i woke up. Felt that there was a small lump at the back of my head.Could not sleep well too the night before, felt a slight pain.
Instead of going to the office, i went to see a doctor friend of mine at his clinic.
Today being the first day of school, he too was late opening the clinic.
According to him, there is a slight lump, but there was no visual discolouration and it did not look serious enough. He recommended that i take some rest and see how it goes.
However, not wanting to break my daily ride routine, i joined my PERs gang in their Monday PNR. Did a fast ride with only one stop.
That's why i am still awake on this 6th Day of the year.

First Sunday of the Year

I liken exercising, in this case cycling as a form of servicing our body.
We send our cars for regular maintainance service and likewise even our bike needs servicing.
So how do we service our body?
Well getting the heart to reach the required level and start pumping furiously is one of the way.
In cycling, my body sweats like a monsoon rain, basah kuyup and i can practically see the sweat running down my face and hands,menitis nitis. My shirt is thoroughly wet, hence after each ride, i will put on a fresh dry shirt.
The feeling is great, segar macam baru service kereta.

Alhamdullillah, for the last one week, i have felt really great, despite the regimentation of cycling either night or day or both!!
Only last night i was on the bed before midnight.
This morning, i tried for the first time, the GCE Ride , on my trusted Proton T-Sprint R.
Joining the Rubberman( a devisionist of Ironman but in the same Le Tuang group)led by OP Pedro and assisted by OP Doc Olmo, i had to cycle 18km non stop till the Nasi Dagang stall off the junction to Kuang from Sg Buloh road.Total ride distance was about 40km plus minus!!
These Rubberman on their roadies are fast, despite what they say about themselves.
I wonder how the Ironman do?
That's one of the reason, i have yet to garner enough courage to join them.
Anyway, OP Pedro was responsible enough to ensure that he keeps count of everybody under his charge.
Nobody was left behind.
My Plasticman Gang did me proud, on their mtb, matching the speed of the Rubberman.
Just you wait Rubbeman, till all my Plasticman gets their roadies.
We might be Tin-man or Carbon-man

The end of Day Three

It is about two hours till the end of Day 3.
I think i'll bunk off early tonight.
The PMR this morning was in the rain.
Tomorrow going for my first Rubberman Ride at the Guthrie Corridor Expressway

Third day of the year

It's nearly an hour into the 3rd day of the year.
Back on the bed, after straight night out cycling doing the Friday PNR with the PERs gang.14 riders in all.
Managed another 20 over km again tonight.
Had TTS at Presint 8 Mamak with Nan garlic and capati.
Rode from mosque to the new Sports complex and Pullman Hotel, on the other side of PICC.
Tomorrow morning another Saturday PMR.
I feel great, and hope that i will be able to carry on this healthy lifestyle for a long time, InsyaAllah.

Second Day of the Year

It's nearly 2 hrs into the Second Day of the New Year.
I am still awake after getting back from another PNR-Putrajaya Night Ride with the GEDEBE gang of Wan Sabri of Kemensah Height.
It is a special request PNR, because normally, there is no PNR on Thursday.
But two members of GEDEBE wanted to test their new bikes again after breaking the virginity last night at the DUKE night ride.
Being Penghuku of PERs, i am obliged to accompany them.
Anyway they were old school mates of mine from SAHC.
Earlier on in the morning, had the PMR with PERs.

Wow!! This is really serious, pagi petang naik basikal.
This is truly a positive start to my new year.
If i maintain this regime, it will be a matter of time, my body will get back in a better shape, InsyaAllah.

It is now a New Year

I am still awake two hours into the new year.
Couldn't sleep.
Came back from cycling in the city at the yet to be open Duta Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) with a few PERs gang and the GEDEBE gang of Kemensah Heights led by Wan Sabri.
Tomorrow morning at 0800, i hope to be able to join my PERs gang for the PMR-Putrajaya Morning Ride.
Managed to watch the fireworks at the KLCC from somewhere along the DUKE.

So hopefully, i will do better things this year.
No point in wishing for a better year if you yourself don't better the year?
