A Great Long Ride

My dearest got me another bike. This one is a hottie! It’s blue and it’s Trek 1500 in Discovery Channel team colors

And I wore my new Oakey shades for the first time for the ride. The purpose of getting cycling shades is mainly for protection. My shades may be on the oversize side, but don’t know how huge bug managed to fly in. Luckily it didn’t go into my eye like the last time. I’m totally serious!

The road along Janda Baik had a “Ketua Kampung” sign hanging outside the village. Pretty interesting.

This time round we had two (2) new friends who tag along for the ride.

And unfortunately both of them puncture their tires once!

It was the best ride I had so far. I love the hills! Looking forward to more. Man, I love cycling! It’s so much better than going to the gym. Honestly, it’s as good as paying for a gym membership and you get to workout for life!

  7. [...] Also, finally got a women specific frame which fits me perfectly. It’s a Trek 2000 WSD. I do miss my blue one. [...]
