Finally, biking the Mandai route!
Met up with JN at 5 am near Raffles Town Club. Headed into Adam Road and two km into the ride, encountered the Lornie Road slope! Survived that and it was better along Thomson and Upper Thomson. Didn't turn into Mandai Road into Executive Golf Club, but had to contend with a slope leading up to Mandai Avenue. It was quite a strain, but not unmanageable.
The Mandai stretch was a delight to ride. About 10 - 11 km of rolling terrain, three lanes wide, little traffic and just the rush of wind against the bike and me! Was glad to keep cadence high about 90. Took a short break at the Shell station at the end of Mandai Road. A number of riders were there waiting for others, I'd expect.
The Woodlands road was patchy and not very nice to ride on, and we took it easy on the remaining 12 km or so.
Averaged just 23 kph, with max ave speed per km of 32.8. Total distance: 36.6 km. Ave HR 147. Nice workout. :)
