Back on the bike

Too many LSD runs have left my cycling muscles dormant for too long. So it was good to get back to cycling again, with a mid-week ride with JN and IN, and two longer rides over the weekend with FOTR.

The Sat ride was 75km through Braddell and Kaki Bukit viaduct (nice!), Punggol Point (what a rush), Sengkang (got lost), YCK (never ending; met AY there), Mandai (never seen so many cyclists at the Shell station before) before heading back via Upper Bt Timah. It was WL's first ride on cleats, so he had some difficulty adjusting to them. To his credit, he did not fall! So he's now officially our cleat hero.   :)

Sunday ride started off with dark clouds looming, but we decided to go ahead anyway. Towards the end of CCR, it started pouring and we took shelter at Changi village - and had some hot coffee and toast. HP improved substantially and reached 30 kph! Bravo.

This morning's ride was called off due to lightning and thunder. A downer for sure, but we win some and we lose some.
