Cycling to work worked using smaller roads

Cycling to work:

I woke up early this morning and decided to ride to work. After preparing my 2 bottles of plain water (1250ml altogether), wearing my reflector vest, cycling visor and helmet, I took off from SS2 into LDP at 0620hrs. I stopped at the underpassage rather than go up the flyover (as it is against the law although tractors and motorbikes tend not to abide by it). I took sips of water at every 5 km (approximately every 3 traffic light junction). At Western Digital traffic lights, I turned right into the industrial park to take the flyover onto the Federal Highway. After approximately 2 km, I took a right turn into Subang Jaya (Persiaran Kewajipan) passing SJMC (on my right) and going to the Summit. The Metropolitan College roundabout was challenging but you just have to stay on the lane (not too far to the left) and watch the car on your right. After the Summit there was another 2 traffic lights and finally I turned right again into USJ9/10 and another left to USJ9 where my clinic is situated. Total time taken was 50 minutes.

I took a took a shower at my clinic, changed and went for my breakfast at the Mamak behind my clinic for fresh 'Idli' and my favourite 'teh tarik'.

Return Journey:

I refilled my water bottles, changed into my shorts and left my bag of dirty clothes in the clinic and exited from USJ 9 onto Persiaran Kewajipan. I was happily overtaking the traffic at the Giant and the Summit Junction. At the Metropolitan College roundabout and I turned right towards Sunway Pyramid. At Sunway Mentari, I took the shortcut to the underpassage of the Motorola Flyover and turned right onto the Federal Highway motorbike lane. I took a left turn to Seri Setia (Sungaiway) and then headed towards Jalan 222 and took a left turn at Kah Motors into Jalan 223. At the end of Jalan 223, I took a left turn and headed to Rothmans roundabout and took a 12 o'clock towards SS2. At the first traffic light, I took a right turn towards LDP and kept right and at the first junction to the right I headed towards the housing area and found my way to my condominium. Total time taken was 50 minutes.

*I should have informed my wife I was going to do this but she wouldn't let me cycle to work. I actually cycled not too hard and took a break at Yong's bicycle shop to look at some handlebars. Maybe, I should take her along for one of my rides sometime?!
*I forgot my sunscreen lotion which would serve a purpose to protect my skin. Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile effort as I feel good at the end of the ride!
