Biking, Klang PCT group, Sen Aik, Setia Alam Night Ride and losing weight...

Hi Guys,

Recently, in my quest to become a much more healthier daddy for Juliette and also in my never ending fight to lose weight, i have started riding the bicycle or to be more precise a mountain bike.

(Coz i think it'd support my weight rather than a normal road bike)



First, lemme tell you the results are really promising, 3 months after riding and i lost approximately 8 kgs and this is not easy mind you. In total as of October 2011 i lost 14 kgs in total.


(This is me when i first joined Eric and co at FRIM, man it was a killer)

However, the recent lost of 8 kgs are also thanks to a bunch of great people that i have met via Sen Aik Trading in Setia Alam.

The Sen Aik bike shop organizes a night ride every Wednesday which runs for approximately 26 km.

The people that i've met there are warm, friendly and very very helpful in pushing you whilst riding (Yeah i am talking about Eric Eng and co :P)

I love every minute of riding on the bike and hope to be able to ride for many years to come.
Now i am on a full suspension frame and having the time of my life...



I think it has less impact as oppose to running or jogging and i think its much safer on my knee joints, however, word of caution, UNLESS YOU ARE FIT don't think of following the leader on the Setia Alam Wed Night Ride....you will regret it....hehehe....i've felt it first hand 3 times now... and it gets better every time i get muscle sprain on my ankles and calf.

I had to also get an engine monitoring system in placed a.k.a HRM or Heart Rate Monitor to make sure i don't over push my self when riding uphill which is quite arduous for a huge guy like me.


I've even in the course of 3 months bent my cassette teeth which to some say can last up to a year and half.....some of the PCT gang say i have high horsepower....i think i'm like a SCANIA truck, high HP but with a heavy load hehehe....check out the pictures.


Then i had to replace a new cassette for the bike :)


I still have a long way to go with regards to riding and will update more in the months to come...

(Hydraulic brakes and 9 speed shifter in the works....)
