JMFR 2011 (Janamanjung Friendship Ride)
So the crazy guys are up to it again this year, driving 500km+ up north for a bike ride and back again! This year we stayed at the same hotel (still looks to be one of the better ones in town...) but explored a bit more by patronizing a different massage shop and eating area. The ride this year is FLAT. I do distinctly remember one slope though, where I raced up with Ben hot on my rear wheels (I got a shock when I saw him right behind.....he's sprinting up slopes now!). Other than that it was very nice, well controlled ride. I was mostly in the front group (trying not to get dropped ala last year) and the speed was regulated by a Police Proton Saga and a couple of Honda VFRs and Cubs. Speed was at a good pace, mostly about 35-37km/h. I got some really good training in peloton riding from this ride! We did not go as a group but Ben and me were mostly together while BP and Mark as another another pair. The ride started, as last year, at the Stesen Janakuasa Sultan Azlan Shah. Weathe...
