NIGHT CYCLING! with some of the rockclimbers!haha.we not only climb you know, but can cycle as well!
met up at pasir ris and left for Changi V to collect the bikes. while collecting payment, $10 suddenly went missing!haha. i really suck in calculations. but thankfully, all of them donated their loose change to make up for the $10.ahh.
time of journey: 9pm
we had dinner at Changi Village first, it was drizzling a lil, prayed really hard for the rain to stop because it was cold and wet. our first challenge was to cycle out of changi V and out of the Changi Coastal road!haha.the roads were wet, and by the time we were out, our backs were half dirtied by the splashing muddy water=(
met up with kenneth at East Coast Park first and boy, was he fresh.haha. our 1st pit stop was ECP Macdonalds!haha.wanted to eat ICE CREAM CHEFS's ice cream, but we were too late.so ended up eating ice cream from MACS. so sad.ha.left ECP for our 2nd pit stop at the bridge at National Stadium. there we stopped to rest for a while. we could feel our thighs burning by now. but it was still alrite. played a few silly games and took lots of pictures. continued on to the Singapore flyer and we saw the F1 track!and even cycled on it!the roads were really different. so smooth and nice.there were also a few FERRARI CARS! parked there.it was an awesome sight!
our 3rd pit stop was at Lau pa Sat!. there we met Brian who was so enthu about continuing with us.haha.we were half dead by now. but still we ate alot of food again, bbq stingray,ban mian,fried calamari,satay!yummm. Brian left home to get his bike. and we carried on to TOWN!our 4th pit stop.haha.we were hopping to catch the christmas lightup BUUUUUT all the lights were off=(.probably to save electricity. we were super disappointed but still used the time to rest again. our butts were aching horribly by now. getting back onto the bikes was a torture by now.
5th pitstop was at Geylang, the famous Yong He "beancurd with youtiao".haha.once again, we were EATING! ate a little and it was 4plus in the morning by now. and we had to hurry back to Changi V coz the cars were multiplying fast on the roads by now. and buses started to operate.
it was a long long way back to Changi V. went back to ECP and rested for a lil while before starting on the Changi Coastal roads. it was sheer pain by now to rest our butts onto the bike seats now. we were all complaining like mad. but still we didnt give up.
then started the long and torturous journey back to Changi V. by now, dawn was breaking and more cars were on the road so we took the cycling path back. it was one lonely ride. everyone cycled at their own pace by now. with little or no energy left to talk.haha.
FINALLY!at 8.30am!we all reached the bike shop. we were soo happy. we immediately got off our bikes and no words could describe how happy we were to be out of the bikes.
we had cycled for almost 10 hours straight!this is my longest night cycling event ever!and one of the mose unforgettable!haha.
total distance cycled( according to bertrand): 65km!!!
I AM SO PROUD OF EVERYONE!
trust me. no one smiled this happily when we ended=)
