Longer ride

Bike out at 3:50am this morning. Sometime i wonder how can i manage to wake up early each weekend and continue to do so.

Reached Casurina at 4:30am. Continue the ride with Ray, Wei Ming and Thomas towards NTU. I am feeling tired this morning as i cycle along and try to keep it easy and not to pursue the rest.

Today the seat of the bike keeps sliding and plagues me throughout the session. Sigh.

For a change we head towards NTU for a loop. It is nice to try out NTU route and it is wonderful to experience that climb.

Manage to reach back at Casurina at 7:40am. Suppose to get back at 7:30am. I underestimate the distance from LCK to NTU(someone give me false information!) . I felt so much stronger after LCK portion. I couldn't verify that with the log as the speedo seems cranky.

Proceed with additional of Joanna on the 2nd portion of the ride. Intent to do Casurina loop but unfortunately Wei Ming has a fall and we have to change plan. We proceed after Shell towards 10 mile junction area for breakfast and sort of "send" Wei Ming back.

Thomas break off for us at Shell(Mandai) to do additional loops, while the rest proceed home via Duneran, Lornie.

Bike off at 11:20am. A total of 7:30hr overall workout. After +/-, i guess total bike time is around 6hours. Distance should be around 110-120km. I think i have to forgo the breakfast in future ride or do longer ride before having lunch (not breakfast) in preparation for event.

Longer ride awaits....
