2009 March: Jogjakarta Ride 2009 (Part 2)

This time we basically changed all riding plans for our 2 days in Jogjakarta. No ride to Pacitan (beach area) and No ride to the mountain area as well. Since we were still a bit tired by a long and time consuming ride to Jogjakarta on the first day, we prefered just to have a enjoyable and short ride in and arround Jogjakarta for the next 2 days and had another long ride back home via Bandung.

2008 December: Another Track Day at Sentul

Sentul, 17 December 2008

It has been some times that I did not ride on the racing track. Hm.. I miss that. So, I decided to see if my schedule is free on Wednesday. Yup. Not too free such as, but I could still arrange the schedule and shift all items on the afternoon. Ok, lets go to the track then..

2008 October: Track Day at Sentul

Sentul Circuit, October 16, 2008.

More than 1,5 month not riding my sport bike, it was so tempting when some friends called me asking if I would like to practice on Thursday morning. Just skip half day from the office and back to work again after lunch. Hm… that was good idea since I only have a meeting late afternoon on Thursday. So, finally I said “Yes, I will come.”

Actually it is better to practice during the working day (if we can) since the track is relatively empty compare to practice during the weekend. Today we have Didi, Ari, Bona, Ochi ,Samuel and I.

Mega Mendung is quite famous recreational area, since it represents a mountain climate but not too far from Jakarta. We were lucky and thank you for the generous of Didi, the Club President who provide his family villa to be used by us.

Before the riders arrived, Putri, my oldest daughter who went and arrived there earlier with the other kids by car under Mom Grace supervison, took some pictures representing the beauty of this place:

Arriving at Mega Mendung from Puncak Pass, we show a full set of meals were being prepared for us. Hm.. it is going to be a big lunch, I guess.

But we better finish our main agenda first, distributing some basic foods (rice, sugar, palm oil, nodles, etc) which is famous as “Sembako” to the deserved poor people at the surrounding area.
