EPI NU YE

And also 'happy wedding anniversary'. Yeah we made it to the 15yr mark (how many yrs still to go honey??? hehe just kiddin)

New year is all about good intentions however .......

Kalam with 10 UPNM cadets planned to join Azwar's gang at 6.30 am in Putrajaya for a long ride however;

• only 4 cadets showed up (Jun Shen, Salman, Adi and Alex)
• they left SG Besi too late and didn't manage to join Azwar's gang

I was supposed to cycle a shorter ride with Juli and Susi, start at 7am from Putrajaya, however;

• Juli overslept
• Susi choose sleeping, but Esman (hubbie) did join us

But good intentions aside, we all had a blast. Dino and Peter joined us so we had a group of 10 cyclists.

Best of all, Dino and Peter gave lots of training advice. I've been cycling since I was a small child but apart from showing where to change the gears nobody has ever taught me HOW to cycle. With Dino as a personal coach there is a big difference... He taught me how to cycle uphill (not crawling up like I usually do), how to draft (with Esman as a willing victim), how to maintain speed etc. And guess what, I can cycle at 30 km/hr and even reached 38km/hr !!!! Peter as well gave good advice on how to prepare for events and how to increase strength

After the U-turn Peter and me took the shorter course while the mutants went for an extra loop. Except Salman who had a flat tire and ended up following the two of us -still has his usual portion of good luck-. Azwar,Bacin, Stupe & other supermonyets caught up with us near the mosque.

We intended to run a few km but decided to wait for the others to arrive, others were not interested in running so we didn't run either, went for brunch instead at the mama shop.

Nice start of the year........................ no need for good intentions
