It was quite a scenic route with lots of ranches, barns, and farms. Hmmm, so much green!! LOVE IT!!!! There were 3 uphills along the way. I praised the LORD because for each climb I did, I continued to feel better about it. And this time, I was also grateful for the chance to train myself going downhill. I never thought going downhill would be as heart pumping and skill challenging as going uphill UNTIL I switched to a road bike recently. Phewww, talking about rolling down on a curvy hill with tiny wheels. I still need to do lots of downhill training. But I have a feeling it could be a slow progress since I'm not a fan of speed and height (yeah, roller coasters are NO NO for me too).
If you are thinking of riding in this area, please keep in mind that certain phone providers can only do Emergency Calls. There's no signal in the area. And somehow, our GPS signal was also weak. I'm guessing it's because of the tall trees. But hey, I'm not an expert in that area. What I know was that our ride's statistics wasn't recorded correctly. The ride was supposed to be 28 miles long with 1600 ft elevation gain. However, due to spotty signal, our recorded statistics displayed 100 ft elevation gain on a 100-mile ride in the second picture below. HAHAHA. Almost got myself tricked there. So for your reference, I have also provided the "should-be" climbing profile.
The sun was still not out by the time we finished. But we had a great training!!!

Wahh kamu dahh jagooo Yan.... how is it different going downhill with a road bike compared to your previous bike?
It's definitely faster with a road bike. I think I cried in my first downhill because I lost control of the bike. :-(
