Back to the living

I had my first night cycling trip yesterday, the result is a tired and grouchy bear in the morning.


There were 8 of us with the new faces being Rachael and Mike. We had bikes in good condition that had better gears than I was used to.


We started at East Coast Park, to the Waterfront, Nicoll Highway then to the Durian where we rested. To Chijmes then a long trip to Newton and we had supper. Climbed a lot to reach Sentosa. Unwillingly to pay the toll, we climbed Mount Faber where we saw our 4th Merlion for the night.

The hill took most of our strength and we took 1 very long trip back where we had breakfast at McDonalds.

We had good weather and traffic. The negative was cars that ignored our right of way and cut us off dangerously. The highlight was a super-long trailer that flew at us at high speed, blasting its horns and scattering our line with fright. I understand why he had to horn, but it was apparent that he used the horn to scatter us before considering to slow down. In the end, he had to stop due to the chaos he did to our line.

Mount Kinabalu is next...
