It’s been awhile since I join other cycling group. This time my friend invite me to join his group for the weekend 100km ride. Boy they are fast! Well at least for me.
I think I’ve been in my comfort zone for quick some time now as usually, best I can do at my own pace was around 35-36km/h. During Letape Melaka, I tried to hitch on a fast peloton moving around 40-43km/h and I got dropped right after the climb. So when my friend invite me to join his group, I did not hesitate and would like to challenge myself.
Keeping up to their pace for me is not easy, most of the flats we were going around 41-45km/h, my heartbeat was pumping fast and I’m trying to keep it within safe limit yet still trying to keep up to them. KLIA loop pass by so fast 😂 It was definitely my fastest time passing by the KLIA runway and even completing this 100km, it was my personal best.
I only manage to keep up with them up to 90km and then I got dropped. While cruising back, I still manage to pedal at my usual pace, 34-35km/h but they were nowhere to be seen 😂 Some of them did wait for me at the last junction before heading back to 16 Sierra, at that point, I felt the tingling on my thighs right above my knees and that’s when I know I’m about to cramp. I did manage to reach back to our starting point, did some stretching to avoid cramp.
Overall, this ride is definitely getting out of my comfort zone and trying to be better but one ride like this is definitely not enough, need to join them more often to improve myself. Definitely looking forward to join them again.
