After 3 months never touch Kiara's mud, finally i make it today. Special thanks to Stanley who brought me to there.

Today, wake up quite early and reach kiara about 6:30am. Wow, the sky still dark man. The ride start about 7am, since we wait for some other friends. It is about 6 or 7 of us. As usual, we had to climb the blardee tarmac. Reach to the x-road and i feel half die. After all, 3 months I never been to Kiara. My power and energy hide somewhere. I can't spell it out.

First, go down to 2k. Oops... a lot more slower than before. Not stabil at all and it still a bit dark and can't really see the trail. After come out from 2k, we wait for Pat's gang and Andrew. Then we climb to twin peak. By the time i reach to Janice's Junction, everyone was there waiting for me already. By the way, Andrew didn't follow us, and Pat's gang went 4k.

After some rest and some cog chat, Stanley decided to go Kampung loop. As i said, i already half dead. So i just do reverse. Until the muddy place there, met Andrew again. So we climb again and go Shriner's Convention. We only did half of it. Then climb all the way back to X-road. Then we go down 2k. This time a lot more better. Feel more stabil this time and more confident.

After come out from 2k, i had exchange bike with Andrew. Try out how's the Meta 5 feel. Oops.. Quite nice, still not my cup of coffee. Reach to X-road again, met Melvin and Leenya. Then we climb to the Shriner's Convention entrance, and go all the way down to carnival, then the park. Had a small little accident and the saddle hit on my stomach. Oops, that's pain. But nothing serious.

After the ride, then go yam cha, TCSS, then finish the ride.
