Argon 18 Cycling Jersey

I'm looking for this Argon 18 cycling jersey.  White-red colourNobody selling it in Malaysia. I found the website that selling this at - www.3-athlon.com. The price $139.95  (about RM489) wow!

Sungai Semantan

There are two Sungai Semantan in Pahang. The bigger one at Temerloh and the small sibling at Raub.

Self portrait photography

I can't ride because the road was wet from last night rain.
Nothing to do, so I took a camera and waited for half and hour for common backyard to appear, nothing.
This self portrait was the other alternative.

Up the hill at Bukit DO Raub

I normally do bird photography at this area, but today is cycling day.
 Raub's Padang  and Multipurpose Building at the background.

Cycling to Padang Golf Raub

I don't play golf, but this is the place that I usually go for cycling or birding.
Situated 5km from my house, a perfect place to ride for short 30 minutes workout every morning or birding for one hour on weekend.

This grassland is at the far end of the golf course, where you can find Paddyfield Pipit, White-headed Munia, Lesser Coucal, Hill Myna, etc.

Crank Brothers Eggbeater C Pedal

I have a pair of Specialized MTB shoes use with CrankBrother Candy C pedal for my Kona Cinder Cone mountain bike.
I don't want to buy another specific road bike shoes, so  bought this CrankBrothers Eggbeater Pedal.

This two images below are not mine, got it from the net

I think you know why the above pedal got its name.
