Training ride in KL

Today was our first proper ride since arriving in Malaysia.
Our day started with a ride to a local cafe (Malaysian style- which attempts coffee and has the odd western food but from what i have experienced the Malaysian food is the far better choice on the menu). I had what was a very spicy breakfast. We then headed out to battle with the traffic and if it wasn't for a local guy who took us on the ride i think we would still be stuck out in the chaos that is KL!
Our ride was a wet one. it rained solidly for the first 1.5hours and the roads were a mess. We were covered in shit within 5 minutes of leaving the hotel. There was oil all over the road and it was very chaotic... but it was awesome. We did 100km and came across everything from Monkeys to cows and Muslim prayers being belted out over loud speakers.

On return we headed out for lunch i got an insanely delicious Curry Laksa soup. Its now back to the comfort of the air conditioning of our hotel for some R n R, much needed as im still adjusting to the time zone. Tonight we are being taken out by a local who is opening an Avanti store up here in KL... he seems to have done well in life as his 20 year old son owns and drive around in a very nice mercedes, and his brother has a 1000hp GTR Nissan skyline. Could be a fun night... will keep you updated.
