If you wake up one morning and suddenly felt the urge to ride, please post it up in our event or shout and I will try to include your ride in this "highlight window"... Give a day or 2 notice if you can. Anyone wishing to join your ride can either send you a reply or just bring his bike on that day... Thank you (in future I will modify the highlight window to allow anyone to post up a ride without my intervention. This feature is on trial. If it does not work after a month, I will scrap it!)

Hi guys, u people on roadies? If you're young and fast I'll have to skip. Otherwise I will tag along. Maybe u can call me when u reach Bayan Lepas n I'll meet u on the Teluk Kumbar hilly road. Sms me at 012-4437035. I should be out of the house by 7.30 am.
Cheers!
p.s. Still no word from Playboy Posh. What happened to him?
Hi Tony aka Baby husky; will be doing the round island clockwise with the triathlon grp. starting from youth park at 645 am. We usually have prawn mee at sg pinang. hopefully we ll meet
Hi Doc,
Sorry, only got to read your message now - 3 pm Sunday. Anyway as you know, we slowbies have to ride with our own kind and I had made arrangements with CarismaGT, not realizing he's a flyer on his good looking ORBEA hardtail, for the Balik Pulau leg of his RIR.
I think we passed each other on opposite sides on the Teluk Kumbar road. At least I think it's you as your triathlon group whizzed by. And btw, next time leave a bowl of Hokkien mee for me. It was already finished when we reached the coffee shop before 9.30 am.
Climbed up to Laksa House (as per instructions from Peter Posh) with CarismaGT and another 3 riders who had drinks with us, before heading back home solo. Good thing about cycling, you make new friends on every ride.
Cheers.
yeah Tony, we crossed part this morning. sorry I could not acknowledge u, the young men in front of me was giving me a tough time catching up. They were cranking up to 45 Km on the flat and down the genting hill at least 50. Anyway we shud catch up one day. Long time no ride together. Maybe we do another Kampung ride near Betong Mosque
Hi Doc,
No problem doing another Lazy Sunday morning Pulau Betong/Pantai Acheh Eco Ride once you've gathered another bunch of newbies like last time. Haha!
This time we'll avoid the Kg Jalan Bahru/Kuala Sg Pinang trail and opt for the parallel Kg Jalan Bahru/Kg Rusa river trail which is more scenic and beautiful. But I believe you've ridden that way before when our group split up on our first Balik Pulau offroad ride together. But you only did half the trail.
Lemme know when you are too tired of playing catch up with the youngster speedsters. After doing 45 km/h you'll be sleeping on your seat doing 15 km/h. Hahaha!
It was a nice ride today... Thanks BabyHusky(Tony) for the company today... Got to know 3 new friendly riders today Jason, Andy (also in Orbea Hardtail) and sorry bro u left too early for me to ask ur name again... Hope to do it again next Sunday if the weather is good...
Tony: ur fast too... Just u don't notice it only ;)
Hi Dennis,
It was a good ride for me too. Actually I covered a longer distance than Sat bcos I cycled up to Bkt Genting to meet you. No problem riding with you until you get your roadie. By then you'll be way too fast for me and won't want to wait up for an old man.
If you're passing by Balik Pulau again, just sms or post your ride over here. Just give your eta Bkt Genting (you should be able to estimate by now) and I'll meet you half way or along that stretch. Just make sure you're wearing your big ORBEA cycling jerseys. Haha! Saturday also can do. But no evening rides.
See you around.
Tony; don't worry even with road bike, we can do the same pace... Will be arranging with andy for this coming weekend ride. Should be coming out earlier so u can enjoy ur noodles hehehe
Got your number saved... I will be awake by 6.45am and cross my finger hope it's dry (cancel if raining).... I will leave my house around 7.30am also if I am going solo... Don't worry I am on mtb, road bike won't be here until November as they are currently launched in eurobike..
Will text or call when I pass qbm....
Going zzz soon... Neway text me before 7.15am if you are coming and if it doesn't rain. Assuming you are around this area too, be opposite egate at 7.40am or qbm roundabout approximate 7.55am and if ur nearer to baby husky location link up with him instead and just let me know in the text MSG..
Regards,
Dennis @ 012-2273531..
Is this RIR still on? It's already Friday night and I did not see any updates yet...
Maybe the Fast Ranger (Peter Posh) wants to ride alone w/o Tonto. Haha!
BH: nice one.... Wanted to do a solo this morning (Friday) but heavy rain when I woke up... Neway going for another solo RIR later if the weather is fine... Don't mind Sunday again if I still have the energy and good weather...
Did a short ride this morning from P Betong to the peak above Laksa House. Ran into Webster and his friends coming down from T Bahang on their RIR. So had company cycling back to my house. Should've followed them up to T Kumbar on second thoughts.
Now where has Pete gone? Probably ran into a female cyclist and don't want lamposts to tag along. Hahaha!
Muahahaha tsk tsk Pete bro, you cant drop a bomb and just went quiet... I woke up 6.45am and it was still drizzling so have to cancel RIR again... Waited till dry then went air tam instead... Spend couple of hours in KSH before going home... I guess you stay in P. Bentong right? Hopefully it would be a nicer weather tomorrow as I intend to do RIR
