Road Race - Individual Time Trial

Since my brother didn't ride with me this morning, I can easily drive my bike without having any extra load. And that mean I can speed up my bike as fast as I want. And I did that! Haha...

It was really fun to watch that speedometer needle always point above 60 Km/h. Maybe not as fast as you all think, but for me that was already fast enough. I usually only ride on average 40 Km/h, just to enjoy the ride and the view along my home and the office, vice versa.

This morning, I took enjoying the ride into a new level. Yes, new level of speed. Since came out from my home, I already increase the speed. Not much speed I could gain from home at Kebon Jeruk to Senayan though because of several traffic lights. But after that, full throttle can be achieved all the way from Semanggi to Tebet.

Riding amongst those heavy traffic with a lot of cars and bikes really are fun. I know it's dangerous, but still, it was fun to oftenly changed "racing line" just to got through other cars and bikes, oya don't forget the king of the street: Jakarta public buses.

And the result, for this morning Individual Time Trial (ITT) I can make up my time from usually 40 minutes for 13 km to less than 30 minutes also for 13 km. Not bad for a beginner biker like me. Kkkk...
