Sunday Ride with Naza

It has been a few Sundays since my last offroad ride with the guys in Pasir Gudang.
Albeit, I clocked about 150 kms on road riding to and back from work.
Not bad at all, but on Tuesdays usually I'll get the urge and longing for an offroad ride.

Last Sunday my neighbourhood organized a gotong-royong, so I cancelled my offroad ride with Panjang to revisit the 2007 hash route.
Turned out that it was only sendiri-sendiri gotong-royong, and Southern Waste Management would only come in the evening to pick up the trash.

Anyway, early morning that day Naza and I did go out for a short ride to Tasik Seri Alam. We checked out the newly re-opened Cactus Inn - basically to see the horse ranch over there and see what they offer.

The road leading to it is a long hill. Naza pedaled to the top quitely and gracefully, she appeared almost relaxed and like riding on flats. Finally when she got to the top, she uttered
"Terer I kayuh naik bukit tau. Sekarang dah tak penat dah macam dulu"
A milestone for her.

So guys, if you're panting riding up to the 'kandang kuda', my missus could easily beat you to it.
How's that for a motivation?
:)

We went in to Cactus Inn and looked around. After a few photos, we went home with 10 kilometers journeyed on our bikes.
