Time to revisit my recipe for a long ride. I have the NTU Bike Rally 2009 this Sunday – 128km and we haven’t been cycling enough so will definitely suffer. With the ride to and from the start point, I’ll end up clocking 160km. The critical thing is – will it sizzle or pour? Heat will amplify a ride’s distance while I do well in the rain. It’s a March instead of a June ride this year so less sizzle, I guess.
We have to be at East Coast Park at 0530 so I’ll leave home at about 0445. Response was good this year so one of our friends found out places were full up. Another had his bike stolen while shifting house and so that leaves this handful of kakis whom I think are riding:
ECP 128km start point:
- Lekowala
- Ladybug
- Kian Wee
- Aaron
- TKX
- Kok Fah (the singlet sunburned man)
- Otterman
NTU 80km start point:
- Cat
- KMY
- Jaswant
Wonder whether I’ll meet riders from previous years like Patience, Patrick, The Big Z and Audrey.
Rest points
