Return To IM Langkawi - Individual Time Trials

Wednesday, 1 February 2006 - Drove to 14th Mile Ulu Langat to start my ride. Don did not turn up and I rode alone. Original plan was to ride to Broga and turn back but when I got to Broga, I went on all the way until Lenggeng b4 I made the u-turn.

Good to ride this route again. Have not ridden beyond Semenyih since the last time I trained for IM back in 2003/2004. The Nottingham University (Malaysia) Campus before Broga was not there the last time I rode here.
>
Took the opportunity to log some individual TT and smashed a 3-year old PB at the Dam Climb (a 1km climb outside the gates of Semenyih Dam ridden from Tekala towards Peres Junction). The Semenyih - Nirwana (10km) TT was 1 second slower than the PB set back in 2004.

Semenyih - Nirwana (10km) - 16:53 (PB - 16:52 in 2004)
