SATURDAY ("RIDE WITH YUSRAN")
Left the house around 7 am, up Ampang Hill, called Yusran at Batu 18. Yusran only slept around 2 am and told me to go first. Yusran will catch up.

Met four other cyclists on the way to the Nirvana Coffee Shop. Nice chat. Lots of road works betwen Broga and Lenggeng. The roadworks have worsen. It is going to get worse before it gets better. It will definitely take a good few months (six?) before this stretch is completed.

Stopped at Lenggeng, had half boiled eggs which upsetted my tummy. The weather was very very kind throughout. Up Lenggeng Hill, didn't feel as smooth as the previous time, but never mind. Up Bukit Tangga, just took my time. At the top it rained, heavily all the way to Kuala Kelawang.
Thank you RAIN, it keeps us cool.

Lunch at KK, tried to call Yusran but his phone was off. Good lunch, tummy OK. The locals now are no longer amazed by us. I think about a month ago, about two hundred cyclists came by. They wondered why I was alone. RM7 for a simple rice and mineral water. Inflation has arrived even to the Kampongs. Told them a friend will be coming later. I left at 12.50 pm. Yusran came just after 2 pm, he started very late.

It was still raining, good. So I made it comfortably, passed Titi, up Perez, passed Batu 18, Batu 14, up Ampang Hill and reached home about 4.30pm I think.

Yusran started at 10.20 am from Batu 18 and actually did his loop a good 1.5 hrs faster than me.
