I had a great wonderful opportunity to join my friends to cycle from Hulu Langat Batu 18's Police Station to Pekan Titi and return, passing through Perez, the peak, for the very first time in December 2017. It was a 90 km bike ride with maximum elevation of 512 m registered on my Garmin Vivoactive GPS watch. In fact, it was also a cross-state cycling, from Selangor to Negeri Sembilan and back. The border is the Perez Hill peak. :)
We stopped at Pekan Titi for some delicious noodles and kuih before we made a u turn back. The whole 90km cycling ride took us about seven (7 hours), including stops and lunch stop at Pekan Titi.
It was an unforgettable experience for me because I had the scare of my life going down the long steep slopes. It was fun but scary at the same time. I had to really focus. I practically braked all the time while my friends just zoomed passed me riding on the wind going downhill. Since my traumatic cycling experience when small almost getting myself into an accident, I have been very cautious of downhill.
As for going uphill, it was really a challenge. Several times, I wanted to give up and come down from my bike to push. With elevation of 512 m and some really steep slope, I had to use every ounce of my energy to pedal. haha! It was also my first 90 km ride of 2017, meaning not much training before that. No wonder I felt so so tired and exhausted.
