Putrajaya Nite ride - 28 Nov 08

Last Friday nite, the ever weekend ride event, Critical Mass, for those who did not come across of this event, its not the about world war, terrorism, or political gathering. Critical Mass is a monthly mass bike ride promoting cycling as a fun and healthy alternative to driving. Critical Mass rides occur on the last friday of every month in over 200 cities worldwide. That nite there was nearly 100 bicycles, mean from the small kiddie to the old school single speed bicycle. there no limit on age or status.

It nearly cancel due to rain down pour all over Klang Valley that evening, but at last minutes, the organizer confirm, putrajaya area already cleared from rain. It started from Restoran Darussalam Presint 9 (Mamak Double Trouble), where rides gathered and push up the paddle slowly to Putrajaya Mosque. Me, was so late due to mass traffic jammed to reach the starting venue in time. So i, started at the from the mosque and paddle like mad to catch up the crowd. On the way , Zul and Aze waited for me to ensure i'm not out of the route. We met up at the Tmn Putra Perdana huge roundabout and ride along the highway to Putrajaya International Convention Centre(PICC).

That road was long and there some ups and downs, but still not a hardcore route. Once we reach the PICC, the crowd gathered and have a quick recharge. From the PICC, the route and view was spectacular, where we cycle down through the Government Boulevard. It was like festival of lights at all the building over there. At the end of the Government Boulevard, the crowd made a left turn to Presint 9. That the end of my journey and the rest carried on to Presint 9. The ride end just about 12am midnight. It was very pleasant ride where most people can do it. The weather was good little bit windy and cool. Just ride it. 20 km was nothing.
