RI Again, RI no. 2

I still remembered our 1st half RI with WWF in mid 2018. We were still on our MTB and uturn at Seletar airport while the rest continue with the RI ride. I also clearly remembered how cui I was at the Seletar Airport break point, to the extent to want to throw my bike anyhow so that I could sit down and rest my poor legs.

Fast forward to 2019 and one of my resolutions was to complete an RI. By then, we were on our roadies and I think I completed 2 RIs in that year. One extra for bonus.

In January 2020, we did our 1st RI. Very good, can check off the resolution list already. Daddy Lim siao on and said that he wanted to do one RI every month... I don't think I am with him on this one. Hohoho.

We didn't do any RI in February. Phew. But Daddy Lim was quick to suggest to the group to do one in March. Come, come, who 怕 who.

We had a big group last night and decided to have 2 rolling trains, with the slower riders starting off 30 mins earlier. We were definitely in the slower train. We wanted to do an RI and not to kill ourselves with an RI.

It was an uneventful ride, though my toes started to cramp up even before we started riding. That is usually what I get in the night when I am in my work shoes and walked too much in the day. Nevertheless, it wasn't too bad especially with the help of the muscle rub. The pace was also comfortable and we were aided by the tailwind at some point.

The faster group caught us with us at Marina Barrage.

I probably had overexert at the long TMCR stretch. There was tailwind and I was drafting a fellow cyclist closely. By Barrage, I was generously smearing the heat rub on my calf. For the remaining ride, my calves and thighs were threatening to cramp up anytime.

Fortunately, other than the usual toe cramp, my leg muscles didn't go into some major spatism and throw me off the bike. It was strange; I wasn't that tired mentally or feel tired other than the very 酸 legs. The supper break at WCP MacD was very much welcome.

We made it home safe and sound.

Woohoo! 102km! It had been a long 6.5 hours ride.

The kids were so nice and allowed us to sleep in until 10am this morning. At times like that, it is so nice to have older kids. Hoho.
