19.09.2012: NR with GLC - Desa Park City

me at Jalan Strachan
 
Another ride with GLC, and this time the destination was Desa Park City. A very nice township with the lake park Waterfront complete with a reputable bike shop. There's also a recent installation of stainless steel bike rack nearby the bike shop and 7-Eleven. How convenient (for cyclists!).
 
I loaned BC Kelolo's bike and kept it with me while staying in the hotel. So we agreed to meet up along the way, RV point mamak restaurant nearby Jalan Ipoh/Jalan Sentul T-junction. Not long after I reached the place, the group arrived and we moved on.
 
Goosebumps on my arms and I grew excited while cycling along Jalan Ipoh towards Segambut, for nostalgic reasons. We passed by SRK Sri Dhandayutapani (can you say that in one go, quickly?) and I was smiling big time as I saw Jalan Strachan across the road. I didn't go to school there, but I remember my childhood friends and I were having fun with saying the name as quick as we can. And that fun we had was on Jalan Strachan, used to be our home.
 
I won't say much about the route. You can view it on the maps via the links below. Suffice to say that the route is wholesome. A lot of downhills. After the necessary cranking uphills, of course.
:D
 
On the way back, more downhills (and uphills!) were served. The one at Publika, and also the one leading to Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan. Awesome.
 
All in all, I'm happy to have joined the ride. Went to new places, and also revisit old places; some personal satisfaction during my solo rides from the hotel to Jalan Ipoh and back.
Many thanks to BC Kelolo and GLC gang for this one.
 
 
 
Thanks for coming around.
Have a good weekend!
