SENIOR RIDERS

I am very grateful that I have taken cycling as an active  hobby since 2008 when I for the first time ever cycled more than 20km in my entire life history.Most of my rides were less than 10km.Nowadays cycling is becoming popular every week all over the country.At times,we have too many events but I prefer to cycle with my riding buddies than taking part in big events.

As a senior rider(age more than 60 years old),I have reaped the fruits of my labour from cycling.I am quite fit,energetic,mobile,generally healthy most of the time and having great fun on weekends.What more could I ask when some of my peers are sick and a few cannot walk.Many of my peers who took up cycling more than five years ago are cycling about 20km on weekend.On some week days I go walking twice a week.

Currently,there are only a handful of us senior riders cycling in various cycling groups in Putrajaya.Most riders are in their 30s to 50s.The climb hills and go for  50km in a session.That is too much for me and my peers.

The benefits of cycling are a lot for everyone especially for senior folks like us.We should form our own groups where we live and cycle together every weekend.Why not we become kids again for a day in a week and have fun with our friends and family members.This will do a lot of good for our bodies and souls.

If you live around KL,PJ,Shah Alam,Kajang and nearby areas to Putrajaya,do join us at Putrajaya Cycling Club.From next month April,2016 I will allocate a day in a month for senior riders and guide you along a 10km beautiful route around The Core Island of Putrajaya.We will stop at every 3km for rest and toilet stops.Just bring any bike and a helmet for safety.No cars will disturb us riding.

Remember when we were kids roaming the kampung and the towns on our bicycles?

Happy cycling folks..

KLCFD and Tosai Rawa

It was a very hot Equinox Day.I was sweating even at 8:30am and cycled on 7km.But it was fun as usual and I decided to be a photographer and stopped at a few locations to capture the festive moods of urban dwellers to cycle,walk,run and skating on the streets of KL.

After our routine ride,we decide to explore the city.We plan to venture into unchartered territories around Kg Baru and Chow Kit but due to the heat and we deceided to re-visit Midvalley where the trail is more shady with trees along the Klang River-not forgetting that tosai rawa at Ganaz Restaurant is waiting for us.

To our unpleasant suprise,the cycling trail on the Klang River bank was badly encroached and blocked by construction works nearby.There was zero maintenance and minus two zeros for traffic management.I was pissed off with DBKL management.

Luckily the food and drink at Ganaz Restaurant saved my day.I also brought my riding buddies to enjoy the Little India in KL.-The Colour-Full Brickfilelds.
