Hi!
I'm back from OCBC alive! Registered for The Nissan Challenge (40km) together with zm and we completed it! Great experience to be there with 9,805 other cyclists. Completed the challenge in 1hour 32mins 12.2 secs. Came in 219/342 for the Men's 16-20 category and 2702/5010 for overall. Not very impressive results as you can see.. Quite disappointed with the starting cos it was super chaotic. Crashes everywhere, non-stop jam, etc. caused me to lose time. Most crashes were because they cant handle their bike properly.. Even people on a roadbike chiong turn and then buang fence or the kerb one -.- Closest experience with a crash was when this lady on a rdbike chiong the turn in front of me and I was right behind her, she couldn't brake in time and then kena the kerb! Then I had to E-Brake at about 28km/hr, any later and I'm on the ground.. I think all these wont happen if we are in the front few pens lor, the last pen was absolutely shitty man.
At the end, we were given some cheapskate medal for completing, a can 100plus and a bottle of mineral water.. Lepak for quite awhile at the meeting point outside F1 pit building then lunch back at serangoon north with zm. Travelled around 70km on wheels that day, lost 2.3 kg and burnt so much calories! And, who says there aren't any hot girls on a bike huh?! There's like so many of them lah! in tights somemore :O hahaha. Especially team SMU and team NP :D Now i know of a good cca to join.. OH! Haven't intro you to my new toy, the Colnago Primavera '08 edition! Born on the 12 Feb 2011, full shimano 105 components, mavic road race tyres and weighs 8kg :)
