Flow ride

Damn, the ride today was damn good. It was the first time I reckon since ages where I rode non-stop including pushing the bike at Kiara. Well maybe some breather stops here and there. Other than that there was no "lepak-lepak" stops, doing nothing except chatting. The ride was more productive I would say, more enduro than just downhill. For me it was enduro, while for XC guys it was just a short XC loops.

The ride finished within 2 hours. I started at the bottom at around 11:30a.m, reach the top somewhere around 12:20p.m then descending the new route. Reached the car park at 1:30p.m. The only thing was I was not able to play at the top. Heck, I was just about to catch a breather at top when the guys wanted to start their descend. Probably being too tired, I forgot the Pike fork and my saddle height was on climbing mode. So the first half of the descend was on XC mode. Luckily there was a brief stop cause somebody fell down. Manage to adjust the setting and weeeee... the downhill from then onwards was so much more fun.

Perhaps I wasn't really pushing it, but I did not fall down today. It is always a good feeling at the end of the ride that your body is not aching due to falling down but only due to exertion.
Too bad that my fitness level dropped since last 2 months after I stopped riding to work for a while. I really should get back on the roadie to regain my fitness. Moreover the mid section is expanding again. I reckon I could finish the ride today in less than an hour and a half if was as fit as the last 2 months.

Anyway, a good ride today.
