Remarks:

Ride pace will be a super friendly EVER. I strongly suggest the not-so-competitive BFF rider to join this Sunday ride.

Speed & Power is what BFF hunger now. For those looking for the "kick" you can do so at the 2 major climbs. Climb like a mad mountain goat! All regroup will be at the peak of the climbs.

0600. But the ride starts slightly delayed. Our TJ only ordered his half-boiled-eggs at 0550. By 0600, we saw him just broke the eggs into his plate. Somehow, we managed to get his bike ready to roll while he is enjoying the best half-boiled-eggs from the fresh village chicken (not farmed chicken).

We rolled out at 0615. The pace is pretty steady. Cruising between 26-28kmh. The only rider that worrying us is TJ as he only ride once in a blue moon. Surprisingly, he did quite well. Not until the Pantai. He got jelly legs.

The small team pacing quite steadily. All eyeing the long climb of Kuala Klawang. RH accelerated quite in the early stage with his new Whistles Sauk Di2 which designed as climbing breed. Steady cadence that makes him climbing up ahead of others.

Followed closely is AB. After few attempts of tailgating RH, he gave up chasing but to change plan to complete the climb.

A surprised phone ringing early in the morning. It was actually TJ that called up he decided to make an u-turn and wait for us at Temiang Corner.

YP is climbing at his on pace to prevent muscle cramping. He managed to conquered the climb in less than 10mins after the 1st rider arrived.

We had a quick photo session and make a quick descend to the nearest stall to replenish water bottles. Thanks YP for the mineral sponsorship.

We had a wonderful moments of the 10km flat which makes everybody drafting towards the next climb. The speed is set at a constant 33kmh. Very good session. I think all are happy to stay together.

We make a right turn at the traffic light area after the Pantai town. Heading into Lekas highway.

The highway section is way shorter than what we have expected.

The entire ride finished around 0815. We have more time for breakfast and the ride's post-modem. What a great day to starts with this fantastic ride b
