Time to get organise.

It's been awhile since my last post. Have been really busy lately. With assignments, projects, tests.. you name it. Sigh.. Drifting off course a little. I need to get myself sorted in the next few days, re-focus and get myself back on track for the next month. 3 weeks to the start of exams and a month before another semester comes to an end. I will be heading to KL, by bus, on this Friday morning for the Shah Alam Criterium the next day. Hope to make good use of the long journey to get myself reorganised.This will also be the first time I'll be doing the Tour of Friendship (5 days stage race) in Thailand, flying off the day after my last paper. Though not my main priority, I hope to do well in this race. I will be the only rider from Bikelabz in my cat, so GC might be out for me. Instead, I think I will target a few stages and hopefully still end with a decent GC, depending on how my legs feel. So this month leading up to my exams will be crucial. I need to learn from my mistake at Tour de Bintan last year, not to overcook myself.

On the side note, I just got myself a new bike! Well, not exactly new, but a second hand 2010 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX! Been longing to try it. So Im really glad to get my hands on one of those. It really brightens up my whole weekend with its arrival after almost 2 weeks of waiting (these were reallyyyyyyyy looooong 2 weeks!) And what a time to come, after I came back from a 5 hours solo ride feeling drained and moody! When I saw the box lying on the floor, my mood lifted instantly as if I haven done my 5hrs of riding yet. Very excited to race with this mean machine! :)

Not a bad deal, for around $4200 i get:
- Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 2010 frameset
- Campagnolo Record 10spd Groupset
- Ciamillo Zero Gravity Brakes
- Ritchey Stem and Seatpost
- Selle Italia SLR saddle
- Zipp SL Handlebar
- M2Racer carbon bottle cages
- Lew Racing wheels with Tune hubs and Near Far Ti skewers
- Shimano Pedals

Complete bike that came in the box!
