Taman Empangan Batu

Date: 27 June 2010

The night before I slept over at Pak Mat's house. Pretty bumped up after found out that not riding EPIC(bash). Maybe it was for the best as Pak Mat was feeling under the weather and I didn't prepare myself properly either. Though I'd already brought my own powerbar for EPIC. Instead we head to Taman Empangan Batu, Batu Caves, Selangor. We were join by Uncle Johan (pak mat's friend). This dude also just started mtb around the same time as me. Cool fact about him. He got 40+ guitar collection so i heard.

Covered around 15km. Got sucked by a leech for the first time in my life. Its not as bad I'd imagined. Turned out to be a great ride and nice sunday work out =D

My first Bash

Date: 22 may 2010
4.00pm Woke up from bed after another weary night shift.

7.00pm Start shift at 7-eleven.

Date: 23 may 2010
7.00am End of night shift. Grabbed breakfast, packed my mtb stuff and shoot straight to Pak Mat Jazlan's crib.

8.00am Reached Pak Mat's crib. Aunt Carol and Aarif were joining us too.

9.00am Reached bash site Bukit Beruntung. Its a bit further up Sungai Buloh. 30 minutes drive from PJ. I'm so pump up seeing many people participating.

10.00am Bash#189 Bukit Beruntung starts. There were 2 routes, a long and a short one. Obviously, I took on the long one to experience the full bash adventure. Aarif was riding today, so Pak Mat tagged along with him in the short. Aarif is just 7 years old. Say what! The trail consists of mostly palm oil estate with the occasional uphill and downhill. It rained the previous day so the terrain was a bit muddy. At first I tried to avoid it but I find it impossible. After getting my first mud splashed then it was game on from there after. Paddled through every puddle of mud with joy and exhilaration. It was meant to get dirty!


1.00pm Finished the long ride. It was about 25km. As I arrived back to the car, Aarif and Pak Mat had already finished their short ride which was about 12km.

2.00pm Had lunch at Restoran Jejantas Sungai Buloh.

3.00pm Washed the bikes. Aarif helped us too.

4.00pm Reached home. Showered. Dreamland.

LEGENDARY

SUIT UP!
