OCBC Cycle Malaysia 2013 Here We Come

The long awaited event has finally come though it was pushed forward to another week due to certain unforeseen situation in Kuala Lumpur. Many were disappointed but it made not difference to us in fact my neighbours were able to register themselves at the last minute. From Setiawangsa, 7 of us in two vehicles all packed up and ready for the day.

We parked our cars at Titiwangsa Golf Club and a lovely group photo session for the record. I hope the young ones will remember this when they are older.

It was an experience taking these young ones from Lake Titiwangsa to KLCC, over here we were waiting for the green light at Jalan Tun Razak.

Our breakfast at Kampong Pandan Curry Fish Head @ Jalan Yap Kwan Seng

We arrived at KLCC in time and met a number of friends, thanks to Cycling Malaysia Magazine for taking this picture.

Waiting for the loud siren and the flag off and the time was near 8.30 in the morning.

Friends that I have encouraged to come like the Tey's & Freeman Chean's families were in the event. I am glad that they have enjoyed it and I am sure they are looking forward taking part in more of such events.

Ride completed and grab your medal.

Her first ever cycling medal, she rode 24km in the event plus 6km to and fro Titiwangsa Lake. Bravo !!!

My boys did it and I hope they will participate in more events with me.

This uncle had a good time on a beautiful Sunday morning in the city of Kuala Lumpur with roads closed temporary for the event.  

All good things have to come to an end and that's it. The long awaited and talk of OCBC Cycle Malaysia event is over. Time for us to cycle back to Titiwangsa.

We have safely reached Titiwangsa with no major incident except a fall from Zu Yi. All loaded and ready to go for a lunch.

Some of the many friends of mine in the riding fraternity. Cheers to all my friends and see you again.

Lunch at 1 Stop Cafe, Ipoh Road. Just wondering what's the difference between "The Community Ride" and "The Foldies Community Ride".

Thank you OCBC. See you next year or maybe Singapore.

The route we took for this event.

A Ride in an Agricultural Park @ Shah Alam

Another round of ride at Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam where we have covered approximately only18km but was exhausted by a few tough climbs in the park.

The last time I visited this agricultural park I did not complete to climb Jalan Bersih but this time I made it and was very happy about it.

The morning was beautiful, the weather was excellent and our fellow cyclists slowly turning up for the event at a car park right in front of the entrance.

Everyone was ready, we proceeded to buy the entry tickets. Take note of the special fare for senior citizen.

The freshness of the air coupled with the lovely atmosphere has warranted us a perfect day for cycling.

Some of the tropical scenes of the park.

We were at a rambutan compound happily plucking and eating rambutan. It was surely a great fun and there was no one to chase us away hehehe, guess it was alright to do that.

Teacher Chin's pedal went kaput, he just continued cycling with it all day through and managed to complete the ride, well done SC.

Going up a cactus climb for a photo session.

Here you could learn about the rain forest of Malaysia while you indulge into some fun adventures like this at the park.

The fishing pond was closed due to flooding, water level was still high.

The end of Jalan Bersih where we completed a tough elevation.

Flood! flood! can we get across this area? ..... surely we can.

 Kids love to play with water so do we.

For the first time I am cycling without shoes....flood mah....

One of the the dams at the Agricultural park.

At the top of a man made waterfall coming down from the dam.

Time to pack & leave the park.

As usual we would go for our food before we bade good bye and this time we visited MC Curry Noodles at Glenmarie, an interesting noodle house with a Scottish story . The curry mee is delicious and worth a million to check out this place.
