Half-Century Ride
On Wednesday , 10th June . Rupert and I went for a half-century ride!
A more general direction would be
Pasir Ris- Changi Beach Park- East Coast Park- Tampines - Pasir Ris
One such loop=42km
Half century ride= 2 loops = 84 km
First Loop
Reward for that uphill...downhill!
Compare this picture with the one on the first loop! You can see how the shadows changes
Hiding from the sun!
59.45km done so far... legs aching , arms aching
The arms.. made me wonder. Was it the problem with the fit? Or peharps the withdrawal from Ergon grips...
Finally! White Sands!

Finally! White Sands!This trip...was boring(2nd loop) , tiring , and yet satisfying. Will I do it again ? Maybe...But honestly I would have preferred a route that did not require me to do 2 rounds of the same path. Any suggestions , anyone?

Cateye Velo 8
The new Velo 8 computer is CatEye's entry-level 8 functions computer. The bracket requires no tools and is simple to use. Like the Velo 5, It features a new, larger screen and a large button for easy operation.
Replaced: Sigma BC1606L
Reason: Could not pick up signal/Believed to be due to a broken wire
Cateye HL-EL410
The Compact OptiCube™ light sets a new standard in size, brightness and versatility. With batteries, it weighs only 78 grams, and it's only 9.3 cm long. That's 2.6 ounces and 3.7 inches - much smaller (and brighter) than an energy bar. Three ultra bright LEDs are magnified with our OptiCube™ lens and reflector to produce more than 180 candlepower.
Replaced:Topeak WhiteLite HP 1W
Reason:Lost/Dropped out while riding due to weak mounting system

Virgin Ride
It was time for Rupert to embrace the tranquility of nature, smoothing sounds of the waves , present in Pasir Ris Beach Park.
Wearing only my slippers , the test-ride was supposed to be only conducted in my carpark. The gears clicked with me at once and hinted to be let out to the surrounding air. With the granny , I rushed out of the carpark , sped towards the Park, and was welcomed by the new bicycling life I was going to experience!
How thin the tires really are
The ride:
Smooth threaded slicks helped to add comfort and that slick factor to the ride.Suspension provided relief from jumping from the kerbs , and the transition from riding a bmx bicycle to riding a hybrid bicycle made this comfort factors even more noticeable and appreciable Flat handlebar was alright , however , the 20inch size of the frame forced me into position that was perhaps, too sporty. Some things I will do to rectify the problem will be to move the seat forward or get a shorter stem. This will enhance the fit to the bike. One drawback of this bike was the poorly balanced wheels. Malay man at Tay Cycle was not competent in balancing the wheel! Could feel the rear wheel bumping.
Trip Distance:13.11km
