OCBC Cycle - Community Run 20km

I suppose to ride a very stylo-milo mountain bike in the race but last mins bro H took part in the 40km. So I had to ride a conventional bike with a basket in front and a pillar rider seat behind. And its gear is spoilt! So I had to pedal, pedal, pedal very vigorously till it went into a cruise mode... I forgave up the idea of completing within 1 hour. And took it easy by enjoying the scene along the way.

Scene #1. Upon hearing a shout "On your Left!", I steered more to my right to give way to a rider coming behind. Then shortly I heard the same voice shouted "on your Right!". Alamak what was wrong with this rider!!! So I steadily stayed on course and let her pass my Left! Then I realised she was only a community rider who has problem telling her Left and Right ...
Scene #2. On the return route near Collyer Quay, while I was enjoying the breeze, I saw a pedal rolling down to my right. Immediately I quickly checked ... HENG my right foot was still stepping on a pedal. Wonder whose pedal and still a long way back (about 5km) to the finishing point...

It took me 1hr 42mins to complete a mere 20km .... sigh. Next year must sign-up for the competitive race 40km and race in a stylo-milo mt bike. I was proud of my bro H who managed to complete by 90mins for the 40km.

My upcoming race is the 2XU Sentosa 12km on 11 Apr... start training now!!!
