The Sun is Out...

So are the bicycles...

I would love for that gloomy, cloudy and chilly weather to continue in Singapore forever. The only con is the lack of outdoor activities bcos it was constantly wet. The bicycle rides had to take a break and I was starting to miss them.

Finally, the sun is coming out and we got to ride again. After the long break, Daddy Lim and I decided to ride to WCP and to take the dusty road back, along side big trunks and lorries. I even bought a cheap yellow pair of safety glasses from Decathlone to shield my poor eyes from the dust. I wore my fashionable sunglasses the last trip only to be told that I looked funny. Haha.

The ride started well until we past JE MRT and were on the way to the next PCN. Daddy Lim decided that he wanted to ride on the dirt while I continued on the concrete path. He had done that many times. Then suddenly, I saw him hit the dust dramatically. It was very spectacular and fortunately for his ego, the only other person who saw his fall was the security guard. He had lacerations on several parts but was anxious to move on to save his poor ego from further bruises. Haha. Luckily the scratches weren't too bad. Why did he fall? No idea...

He must be in shock from the fall bcos he suggested for us to take a shorter way home. I didn't mind, I was very much worried as well. Other than the scratches, he was much fine. We didn't ride on Sunday morning bcos he needed a rest to nurse his poor soul.

Then on Sunday afternoon, the kids asked to go cycling after the classes. It had been a long while for them such that their tires were flattened from the prolong non-usage. So we went.

We rode all the way to the foot of the circular bridge across AYE. Daddy Lim tried to nudge the kids to go further but their hungry tummies disagreed violently. They saw some pebble tracks and started their little so-called "trail".

We then headed back and stopped for dinner at Tradehub 21, Sakae sushi. The kids suggested for us to do this every Sunday evening so that we could have Sakae sushi every time. Zzzzzz.

We had to rush back bcos the sun was setting; we didn't put lights on the kids' bike for the ride. The ride home was uneventful.

I had thought that it was a short ride and was surprised to see that Strava had clocked 18.4km. It was probably bcos we went at a leisure pace, with a long dinner break in between and thus it wasn't tiring for the adults. To the kids, it was a different story. Lil Shauna felt like she had rode 40km. Lol.

It was for the reason of riding as a family that we upgraded the kids' bike. Long distance is still an issue and we look forward to the day that we can go 30km with the kids (still 10km short of what Lil Shauna expected, lol). We hope by then, Daddy Lim and I are still capable of riding. Haha.
