My day out with Darth N97

Its been over a week spent with me Darth N97. Most of the time was spent tweaking it to perfection (to me at least) with widgets and apps testing.

I did manage to snap a few pics to test out the quality of the 5 mp camera though. Here are a few from a drive out to town, and one by the water village.

Then on Sunday, 28Jun09, as I had signed up for the charity cycleton for Heart of Borneo, I decided to take Darth out with me for the ride, all 110km of it. Here are some shots taken from our world renowned Empire Hotel & Country Club , one of the checkpoints for the ride. (Obviously, you won't expect me to shoot pics WHILE cycling... I doubt Darth would appreciate that sort of adventure). There were almost 400 cyclists taking part in the event.

And we're off! Last leg back to the finish line.

This isn't my bike. Just thought I'd snap it.

My personal challenge for the ride was to bust the 100km mark, which I had never done before during training from months before. In the end, I was sun burnt, had a swollen behind, sweat drenched and faced extreme energy depletion. But it was all worth it. Its for charity afterall.

And what better way to reward myself? A quick carb load at my favourite Japanese shop, Kaizen Sushi.

Pretty good flash shot at night I'd say.

And that ends a day with good ol'Darth. Next challenge, take a video while riding? Nah, I don't think so....

PS: None of the shots have been edited. Pity the lighting was a bit "overbearing", having been taken at noon day mostly.
