311010 Rodalink Putrajaya Grand Opening

On the dot I waited-up for the guys but all I could find was Rahman EM. We were supposed to ride to Nilai & do the 80km loop but then I remembered that Rodalink was doin a grand opening in Precinct 14 Putrajaya. I said let's go & everyone seems to agree.

Since it still too early for Rodalink to roll-up the rolling shutter, we decided unanimously to take the long way to Putrajaya via the hellish hills of Kampung Limau Manis.

Loads of cyclists were already at the gates of Rodalink upon our arrival. What luck. If we had gone to Nilai, we would have missed the free water bottles & bike jerseys. Arrived in the nick of time as the last 10 pieces were given away.

As the horns were blared signaling the Rodalink fun ride, we relinked with our usual clan members Rizal, Wak Jali, Baby, Syarul, Cikgu Hisyam & the usual recognizable faces. Tri-Paku led the noisy group around the beautiful scapes of Putrajaya. We did a 10km loop from Presint 14 & made a u turn @ the Jabatan Akauntan Negara - not forgettin a grouppo shot right in front of Perdana Putra.

Syarul caught-up with his long lost twin. The separation had made him bigger than his elder brother due to unchecked volume of bottle feeding.

Thank you Rodalink for the gifts, great discounts & friendly staff awaits you!

210801 Goodbye dinner with John

Time flies when you're havin fun.

6 months ago the clan got its first "Foreign" rider.
But this foreigner was more local than the locals that I've come across.

An adventurous man he is,

1) He's not afraid to wallop anything on the plate, let it be the king of fruits - durian or petai.
2) He'd scour the backwaters of Selangor without a blink.
3) He didn't care what people think of him or his preferences.
4) He's straightforward, practical & plain simple.

No fancy bikes nor flashy attire but he's one hellova rider. Barely two weeks after his feet got operated had he done the Port Dickson Triathlon.
Look at the scar.



I would remember this man - a gentleman who brought back some goodies for my kids while in San Francisco. - Great kiddies books for my little son & daughter. If not for some empty promises by certain quarters, he would have stayed here longer & teach more of us about tolerance, respect & diversity.
He made me rekindle old memories during the 70's while in Penang. I had an Amerasian neighbor - American white father & a Vietnamese mother.

We rode quite a bit with him & here are the pix of the clan's adventures together. Click on each title for the tales.
