Raub to Kundang Patah - testing Strada Cadence

I went to Kampung Kundang Patah yesterday to test my new Cateye Strada cadence computer. Solo cycling 31km trip. Started from Taman Mutiara at 5.30pm, stopped at Pusat Serenti for a few minutes rest and reached home at 7.00pm. Although the RD400 screen is small and the cadence number tiny at the lower part, I can see it without my reading glass. Tried to cycle at above 80rpm. Now I realized that I have been using too small rear gear all this while.

Cateye Strada Double Wireless RD400DW

I feel a need to calculate my cycling cadence easily without manual count for 15 second and multiply by 4, so this computer became by latest gadget.

To Cheroh with Clipless Pedals and Specialized shoes

I has been testing and familiarize myself with the new Specialized bicycle shoes and the Candy X clipless pedal for 2 evening (about one hour) around my housing area.
In conjunction with Malaysia Day today (Sept 16), I went to Cheroh (about 20km return trip) for real test. I feel happy with the performance although my fitness is very low due to holiday and not cycling for quite sometime.
