New route from Lake Club ,Putrajaya to Cyberjaya

BANANA RIDE 31/1/2016

ATTENDED BY 18 RIDERS.WE DID 2 ROUNDS ON TSH AND ONE ROUND OF 8KM ON THE MAIN ROAD.IT WAS ENJOYABLE ..

KLCFD RIDE to Mid Valley and Brickfields

Since the last three months,I have been a regulat participant to KL CAR FREE DAY event that happens on every 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month,It is a good iniatiative  but DBKL needs to do more that on city cycling.Cycling along designated roads is boring after a few rides.Our group organises our own detours.Last Sunday,we went again to Mid Valley via DBKL Cycling Super Highway and stopped for brunch at Nagas Restaurant,Brickfields for our re-fueling with tosai/mee etc.

We had a fun and good ride except that I was pissedd off anf disappointed with the way DBKL maintain the cycling lane along the Klang River.I gave DBKL ZERO STARS.

JUST LOOK AT THE ABOVE PHOTO.IS THIS WHAT DBKL CALL A CYCLE LANE?

NOTE ON PHOTOS;ALL THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN BY OMRIN,OUR GROUP RIDE PHOTOGRAPHER.THANK YOU ,OMRIN.

EXPLORE CYCBERJAYA 10 Jan. 2016

About 50 riders took part.It was sunny and our ride was led by Mr Won.Most of us had great time.

Santai Photography Ride

This is our first ride dedicated to taking photos at certain locations along our cycling route.Phototaking is part and parcel of our cycling.I have been doing this taking photos during my cycling in Putrajaya since 2011 when I get my Lumix LX5.The places are so beautiful that we just have to take photos of beautiful sceneries and of course ourselves.Now ,with the popularity of selfies,everyone takes photos of themselves and others.

Our main destination is The Moroccan Pavilion at Taman Botani as shown above.We started at the Masjid Putra,cycled to PICC and made our first pitstop and photo session at Water Sport  Centre and the Pullman Beach.

From Pullman Hotel,we rode to Malaysia china Friendship Garden and Ayer@8 so that my trible can stop and take photos at the Wawasan Bridge.From Ayer@8,I led the rider along the lakeside so that they could see Putrajaya from different angles as we rode to Kelab Tasik.This is a good location for photography as well.I wanted to take them to Taman Botani via Boardwalk and Alamanda but we did not have much time as many riders got hungry and want me to take them to The Souq.So,I short cut,cycled to Moroccan Pavilion for our grand finale of photo session.A few of us went to feed the fish but most of them just cycled back to Masjid Putra.Overall, we did almost 22km and had great fun.

FUN RIDE

I decided to join this Dorset Fun Ride because more than a dozen of our PCC members had registered.The ride was planned for 20km but due to technical and safety reasons,I managed to ride only 10km.I was disappointed with the choice of route and the length of the ride.Thank God,I had a good company of riders to keep me riding..

Lesson learnt on organised ride:If the ride is boring,take a detour with your buddies and enjoy on your own.

KL Car Free Day-City Ride

This is second time we organised for our PCC members to come and ride in the city of Kuala Lumpur.The first one was on 1st November,2015 and  last weekend on 6th December,2015 was our second time.From the feedback we received the riders were happy and enjoyed themselves during the rides.It is NOT riding alone-we socialise,we pedal,we take photos at interesting and beautiful places along our cycling track/lanes  and we eat together.It all three in one.Just like our morning Nescafe.

From 7am to 8am,we ride along the 7km designated CAR FREE ROADS in the city.After that,on 1st Nov.,2015 we rode to Midvalley via a cycling track along the Klang River and under elevated railway tracks.Yesterday,we went to Tugu Negara to pay respect to our fallen heroes and later we rode to Taman Tasik Perdana.Here,we discovered a few nice locations for taking group photos.The track is also good for cycling but Putrajaya is better.

From here,we rode to KTM Railway Station via Masjid Negara and hit straight to Klang River Grafitti Wall.After taking photos there,we rode up to Ali,Muthu and Ah Hock Restaurant for lunch.On the way back we walked through Petaling Street.

Honestly,I won't ride alone in KL City.It is not safe enough.The motorised KL City traffic are not friendly at all to cyclists.DBKL just need to hire some Dutch city and traffic experts to plan,design and construct separate cycling paths and junctions in Kuala Lumpur.Period.
