60km Bike Ride

This morning scedule for a 60km coast run to B1, meet up with LT, Buay, Piglet, Joanna and her friend. when I reached they are already there, as usual, I am late. hehe :P

today plan, 2 loops coastal road + ECP B1= 60km.

started off the bike into the Coast, I can see the 2 road racers had already kick into action, while the rest of the mountain bike going slowly. first laps into the u turn pt, I already felt stain on my leg, a little jelly from yesterday. trying to keep up with LT, Joanna and her friend had already catch up and zoom past me. feeling a little demoralise, I plan to do only a loops and to B1 and end the bike ride should be about 45km.

reaching the u turn loops (time: 45mins, a better time), I could see the 2 racers is on their way back for the second loops, I saw them talking to another person (uncle geroge). I stop for a while with the gang and told LT about my plan, which was of course rejected. aiyo, ok la, I tried loh. Going back was much better, as my leg felt stronger. i could able to peddle faster and last longer. maybe my leg had warm up liao. as I din wait for them, I try not to let them catch up.

reached the u turn pt, 45mins. I decided to do another loops, going back, I am still feeling strong, i told myself to glide and stretch. 20 round peddle, stetch from one lamp pole to another for one leg. continue this for another leg. reached the 2 loop. decided not to wait for the rest, i continue to ECP CP B1. on the way back, saw a group of mountain bike on left, I try to pace them for a while. still doing the same routine. i over take them at the midst of the coastal road, fire station.

reached into ECP, I continue into ECP road. while a little high tide. i decided to take a pee break at CP C toliet. coming out, saw the racers on their way to the meet up pt. I continue my ride, reached ECP B1 time: 845am.

take a break while talking to buay and piglet on their ride, the rest of the gang begin to appear, while we continue our last bike back to start pt, buay and piglet is going to continue on their jounery.
