Night Ride with Putrajaya Critical Masses

Putrajaya Critical Mass (PCM) rides every last Friday night of the month. PCM participants are growing steadily with each ride. I did my first ride last Friday night together with 148 other riders. I believe more would have turned up if it had not rained in the evening prior to the ride. But 148 riders still makes a big group. We had riders turning up from Shah Alam, Cheras, PJ, Batu caves,Sri Kembangan, Damasara and also the usual participants from Putrajaya, Bangi, Desa Pinggiran Putra.

The ride was fun and we managed to cover about 18 km including a turnabout at Presint 20. Actually some riders who know Presint 20,did not do that leg and waited for the main group to return at the flyover entrance. See route above. Overall the ride was quite flat and easy to kayuh at any pace.

I volunteered to ride as a Safety Marshall as we had quite a big group. I rode ahead to control traffic at junctions and particularly at turn offs at the flyovers.

I met Man Ciocc, Daoh,David, Rashid, Aini, William, and so many others which I cannot remember their names. There was also a boy aged seven who rode with his father. He is very talented and kept up with our pace throughout the night. I hope to see more of him in our monthly rides.

I'll sound out to our regulars that we'll do a 'Ride in the Park in the Night' in Taman Wawasan for our November Ride. I promise you it will be an interesting and fun Ride. See you next ride.
