Shag

Went for my very first overnight cycling with Rayner, Weichern, Eeyang and Chunwei last Friday. Was supposed to meet at east coast mac at 8 pm but end up rayner, eeyang and chunwei are all late so it was around 10 plus when we finally set off from the east coast food centre.

Was initially quite worried cos it started drizzling just when we began our journey, but thankfully the drizzle maintained light as we made our way through ECP and towards changi village, passing the seemingly endless stretch of park connector beside changi airport.

Reached Changi Village at around 2330 and proceeded to have supper consisting of nasi lemak, bbq stingray, hokkien mee and 红茶龙眼(its a very nice dessert! try it!). Set off again at around 1230 despite the persistent drizzle (and sore butts) and began the 2nd part of the journey. Passed through Pasir Ris (Downtown East really changed alot omg!!), then tampines, then bedok reservoir. The overhead bridges along the way posed a challenge against our trembling legs as we struggled to cycle across them.

Towards the end of the trip when we were nearing weichern's place at kembangan, the triathelete weichern purposely took us on a de-tour which had a tormentous stretch of uphill ride!!! my thighs nearly cramped but i was proud to finish the entire stretch hahaha. Reached weichern's place at 0300 and had a game of mahjong, where wc lost $20 to rayner lol.

Set off back to ECP at 0700 for mac breakfast and to return the bikes. Was really a torture to cycle back with our sore butts, aching thighs and hands (from gripping the handles the whole night). Took cab and reached home at around 0930. concuss.

Overall it was a very enjoyable (and of cos shag) experience. wouldn't mind trying it again sometime soon! =)
