23rd Attempt - Apollo Hill

At first i thought today's ride is canceled due to the heavy rain during midnight. Khoon then online and told me the ride is on no matter what. We can switch our plan from apollo hill to Puteri Jaya if the offroad routes is too wet and slippery.
Meeting Point
I woke up at 610am, thought that i would be late for the ride. Take a quick bath and rush out at 640am. I try to pedal as fast as i could to warm up my muscles. Arrive the meeting point at 654am but no one is there yet. Since no one is there and i havent take any drinks and meal, i go to the nearest malay stall to have my nasi lemak. The stall is not big, but they provide variety of nasi lemak. Nasi lemak ikan bilis, sotong, udang, telur, daging n others. I get the nasi lemak daging and ikan bilis and mix it up, ordered a teh tarik and everything cost me RM 2.60. :)
Kim Beng and Jiat
After my meal, Kim Beng, Khoon, Jiat and me depart to Apollo hill. Ermm.... let me clarify first.. It's not those HILL that we all knew. It's actually some small small hill with offroad routes. Let me show you some pictures.
It's a bad day because it started to rain when we get into the offroad for less than 5 minutes. We have to keep our camera into the plastic bags and we cannot take any pictures until we arrive Taman Ria for breakfast. Our bike become so so so dirty after the offroad ride due to the wet routes and mud. The uphill is consider a beginner one. Much much easier than the botanical 84 but botanical is tarmac while this is offroad with small tiny stones and muds.. It's a waste that we cannot snap any photos when we are at the top.
