14 Sept 2014 MTB de Seremban wet edition

Dark cloud prior the start.

Our YB, ops is YP is the 1st rider downed during the initial part of the ride.  Probably due to the misjudgement of off road surface.

Overall,  improvement among all riders are good. Almost zero waiting time. Some are already signed up for the night ride this year.

Few more outdoor rides should have adequate fitness to explore new route around Seremban!

Heavy downpour after the 4 brothers hills.  Especially during the Puncak area. When was the last time you are bathing in the rain? Kind of fun in this ride.

As last week "package", did a 8.5km run right after the ride.  Probably the cool and wet condition,  the run pace is steady and faster than last week with average 5:15/km. Hydration at 5:30 interval. Saltstick caps & energy gel taken right after Puncak (30mins) before ride ends.

Overall,  no muscle fatigue,  ride & running strong. With the reduced pace & proper nutrition plan, should make a good game plan in Sept 2014.

7 Sept 2014, MTB de Seremban

Ride covering new section lead by Yew Yee & gang.  Mixture of off & on road.  Passing some villages, got chased by Rottweiler & some doggies.

Good drafting in certain part of the section where all ride in a group formation.

Drama : Our rookie rider Mr 67 got fell down while Mr Snake is holding video recording.  The fall looks painful,  luckily nothing serious.   It was a good laugh for all! Haha

   I also took this ride to try out the uniform to be used in the "big show" this end of Sept. It is the new DeSoto Forza with Integrated Ceramico padding system & DeSoto Carrera top in WHITE. Overall support is great, the fabric breathability is good. Right after the ride,  followed by a road run under heat. Surprisingly to run with better pace than last week.  Thanks to the high RPM turbo training, it helps to get the legs loosen. Proper electrolyte intake is also important in this training section.
