Went for an amazing night cycling event on 15 May 09. It was a tiring yet fun time.
We reached around 9pm for registration, pick our bike and started our journey at 10.10pm. Total there are around 70 odd people joined the event! Tried changing my bike twice but still end up having the squeaky hand break.
I was a little shocked when I got hold of our route trip map:
Sun Plaza Park (Tampines) -> Changi Village -> East Coast Park -> Marina Baarage -> Sun Plaza Park.
It was really my limit, at a certain point, I really felt that I don have anymore energy to continue. However, guess what had motivated me to push myself - Suave cyclist? Good Food? Nea, it's seeing one of the organizer's shirt printout "Breaking the limit". Whenever I see those word its suddenly gave me a boaster of energy to continue till the very end. Amazing how words can turn into wonder!
One of our cycling kaki fall and injured herself when we were on our way to the second pit stop (East Coast Park) but still she determine to continue till Marine Baarage (even though the event medic asked her to rest and call it a day). I'm impress with her determination.
In the midst of the journey to our 3rd stop point, never would I expect that we got to cycle on Nicole highway =P (I know its illegal but who cares at 3am!) You could really take your time to appreciate the scenery of our Singapore central business district. I could see the flyer from a miniature figuring to directly beneath me. Regret that I didn't bring my camera out!
To me honest, my weakest point thru the journey was the HUGE Kembagan slope. I really start "chionging" quite a distance with every ounce of energy that I could generate but end up still stuck at in the middle of the hill =( Got to get down and push me bike up. BUT what frustrate me most was, there was this girl who is fatter - okie bigger size than me could cycle all the way up the slope. I bet she is laughing at me LOL.
Exactly 6am we reached back to our starting point and I am so glad that I have completed =) (With pain butts and thigh)
After which, me, pris and Jia hao went to have a good Mac breakfast and Jia hao send us back to end our more than 24hrs sleepless day.
I will definitely go for such event again!!
Starting of our journey... See the no. of cyclist behind me

The gal who got injured yet had strong determination!
