road

took ArgonDragon out for a spin last night together with mystique. first time since kenyir lake for me!
"let's go for a long, slow ride."which i heard as "slack ride" and was obviously not prepared, so ended up having to borrow baby's smallest jersey and ride with tri shorts (thinner padding). so i had to bear with the pain in my (somewhere) for the next 73km. not funny at all.
headed out at 8.20pm.
i dont know the exact route we took even though yes, i rode it, but i know we stopped at the punggol prawning place (where i fell heehee)

first stop! (:

AD and Mystique taking a break from the road.

We then continued to tampines, coastal (7km on big chain ring and manintaing a considerably constant and good speed, posture etc yay!) then babe pointed to the spot where the guy died which freaked me out and i just wanted to get out of coastal asap even though i felt so familiar there. fell again. headed down ecp, where we realised the sundown marathoners were going to be running past. Stopped by changi village to eat but decided to eat after we were done.

Watching the runners run by and offering our bikes??

 

Wanted to see if i could find my mother among the crowd so we stopped by some place when we saw some runners. and yes! we saw mummy! mission accomplished so we continued on our journey back.
passed braddell, serangoon, lornie, upp thomson and back. wahoooo finally! sprinted up the final hill but i still didnt cramp even though my aim for the ride was "to ride until i cramp or till my water finishes" neither of which happened. haha
73.65km accomplished that day. reached back at about 1.10am followed by 50 crunches and 50 leg raises as proposed by the crazy bf.
had bakchormee for supper before going back.
what an awesome and crazy ride. lesson learnt: unclip earlier because my babe will scold if i unclip too late and fall ): and then kiss my wound when i pout.
thank God for protecting and keeping us safe the entire ride, and even though i fell twice, the only injury sustained  was a teeny weeny abrasion on my ring finger.
so lucky to have an awesome navigator/google map reader/wind blocker to ride with. xoxoxo
