On Saturday night, Enric and I took part in the Round Island Challenge by Terra Outdoors; it turned out that the Odac gang consisting of people like Sophia, Alvin, Kelvin, Weilun etc etc signed up for it also, and we all congregate happily in the same group.
At such events, involuntary attention (from the occurrence of novel events...motor learning!) is inevitably drawn to the variety of bikes and cyclists in their different jersey outfits. From the loud, colourfully vulgar to the exotic, no two bikes and their owners look the same, hence the fascination. There's a mtb that looks more like a motorbike, with a box behind for the owner's poodle, and a mtb with syntace aerobars on.
We made good progress actually, having thought initially that the stipulated 22km/h pace will be too slow. Going through the various park connectors at the kallang area wasn't very comfortable for roadies like me and Enric, and we were much happier to hit the roads at city hall. The helpers for the event were pretty competent marshallers and I got to congratulate them for a job well done. Snacks and drinks were provided along the way at breaks too, very welcoming!
We cycled to Kranji, and after the dam area, me and Enric apparently went by the rest area unknowingly. Oh well, we proceeded back to AMK through Mandai road instead, had supper at S11; afterwhich he went back to support Real Madrid while I had an early night's rest.
