The Supposedly 40km Ride

On the eve of Labor Day, the WWF went for a round island (RI) ride. It started at 8pm from Pioneer cc and all the way to Changi Village for supper before back to JW, clocking a whooping 100km!

Daddy Lim and I were tempted but had to forgo for 2 reasons.

1. We have never even hit 40km before and didnt know if we could survive 100km; and
2. Even if we did survive, the ride would last late into the night and we would die the next day trying to man active kids.

The WWF kakis are really nice and took it upon themselves to help us train up our endurance. They planned for a 40km ride last Saturday, all the way to Lao Pa Sat for bfast and back. They even intended to slowly increase the distant so that we can one day join them for RI! Hehehe. I was so looking forward to the ride - my 1st 40km!

It was threatening to rain in the morning and got me quite worried. Fortunately, the sky held and we rolled all the way to LPS. The idea of bfast kept us going. Hehe.

There werent many stalls opened but it was the companion that matters.

After the break, we rolled all the way back to JW. Right when we hit Lakeside, the sky started pouring. Daddy Lim and I completed the last leg in the rain and our bikes were washed sparkly clean.

Overall, the ride was about 40ish km. However, my Fitbit chose to lose connectivity midway and I was bloody hell stuck at 39.1km!!!!!! Boohoo! No 40km record. One day, just one day... I will record my 40km. Surprisingly, the ride didnt feel any longer than the previous ones. I bet it had to do with the slower speed and the mostly flats.
