Raub to Bentong return trip Night ride

After unsuccessful attempted to ride at  'Bukit Lee Rubber' on August 4th, I made another ride to Bentong last Saturday night.
The plan was for seven cyclist to ride from Raub at 7.30pm, but only three turn up. Karim, Munis and myself started at 8.00pm at arrived at Bentong about two hours later. After half-hour rest and roti-canai we proceed back to scale that famous Lee Rubber Hill, 8km after Bentong town. I was in front because Murnis's headlight was out of battery. With  Granny gear  (out of 10 speeds) and grit teeth I proceed to tackled that hill and then rode non-stop until Lurah Bilut. Yeah!
We reached home at 12 midnight ,  exhausted but happy -80km covered that night.

Clipless Pedal Fall

I has been riding with clipless pedal for the past three weeks then I had my first tip-over this morning.
After a light workout around my housing complex, I stopped at my house. As usual I unclipped the left pedal and stopped with my left leg on the ground.
This morning my left leg failed to touch the small boulder, and in slow motion fell to the right, hit my (R) knee at asphalt. My neighbour laughed loudly. "Aya... macam mana boleh jatuh?"
Maybe I'm too confident after uneventful three weeks ride. Now I learned the lesson!
This is the small superficial abrasion.
