My 107.11km alone rides

I went back to my in-law’s house at Bota Kanan, Perak last weekend after work and arrived at around 1.00 am. Had a good slept and didn’t dream anything.

Next morning, I woke up early because I planned to rides from my in-law’s house at Bota Kanan to Sg Tapah, Ipoh which is my grandpa’s house. I started rode a bit late, at around 8.00 am after had my breakfast.

From Bota Kanan to Sg Tapah, it took around 54km. As soon as arrived at Sg Tapah, my back tire had a problem. So, I straight away went to the nearest bike shop to fix the problem. There was a tiny see stuck in my tire. I bought a new tube for RM 13 and rode back to Bota. Although I can fix the problem myself, but hey, if there is a bike shop nearby, so why want to waste energy fixing it yourself.

The journey back to Bota is not easy as I thought. Headwind was very strong especially at Tronoh after Universiti Petronas (UTP) heading to Seri Iskandar. I cannot go any faster and maintained 28-29km/h. After I reached Seri Iskandar, I stopped for refill at Seri Iskandar Petronas and continue my cycled.

I reached Bota at 2.30 pm and my total time was 4:14:29. Fuhh, really had a good work out, especially for mental strength because when you rides alone, you cannot draft and you really have to learn facing the headwind by yourself.
Overall good weather and most of all enjoyed the work out.
