Mandai Bike - July 18

Alarm went off at 3:15am. It is time to wake up....This is my morning early "wake up" of the week...ok..it happen on a weekend(Saturday). So i have 5 days of waking up late....that is a good deal isn't?

I left home at 3:42am, bike out around 3:47am. Reached YCK, Mobil 4::03am. Cfred and Charmine are already waiting for me. Prearrange time to meet: 4:00am. I was late.

3 of us proceed to Casaurina to rendezvous with the rest. Reached there exactly the same time as KK. Time: 4:21am. Prearrange time to meet: 4:30am.

Seaboon, Burnz, Batx and Wishbone came over by 4:36am. We waited for someone...to no avail, we bike off at 4:45am.

While the rest target to do LCK and Mandai(loops), Wishbone and myself will be doing Mandai loops. I need to go back earlier so i can't join them for the longer route this morning.

I assist Wishhone on her bike handling skill. We bike to/fro at Seletar reservoir reminding her of the drills learned during SPIN class. It took a while, and she did somehow manage get the hang of it. Hopefully she pick up earlier than later.

We proceed to do 1(17.5km) + 1(2okm) loop. She looks very strong today or i am abit slow this morning. I don't think i am that slow today though. :( During the loop, she is typically cycle in front of me, which is a good sign. :)

After a break at the Zoo, we proceed to meet the rest at the Shell station(distance covered 35km from Casaurina). While the rest proceed to do 1 big + 1 small loop at Mandai, i proceed home from there.

Well i manage to Ding Ding....Charmine and Batx during upslope when we cycle together. Keke...

I choose to do YCK route back home. The speed humps are good...shall do more in the future given the opportunity...Shiok.

Reach home 8:25am. Safe and feeling good.
