Yesterday was our second attempt to do the reverse island loop that was aborted the previous week. Happy to say that we completed it, the second time around, just in the nick of time before the rain came. This was in spite of me getting two flats - one at Kranji/Mandai and the second at Punggol. Thanks to JN, YP, CL and the rest for helping out.
Good to have SC-Cervelo join us up till Bt Timah/Clementi. He's a strong triathlete training for AP Phuket as well.
Highlights of the ride was going down Lornie at 49kph, trailing YP on his brand new Speed Concept, storming down LCK at 37 to 45 kph, and swooshing down Yishun Avenue 1 at 40 - 45 kph. Most agreed that the reverse loop was easier than our usual anti-clockwise loop.
Speaking of highlights, we were very impressed that YP and CL had the privilege of being transported to the RV point by car. Couldn't ask for better support from our spouses than that!
Thighs were tight after Sat's 140km ride, but held up relatively well, although my left calf felt tight as well. Thanks to MBH who gave me good massages over the weekend, I was able to complete the 100k yesterday.
