Finally Joined PPCG Chat Group

It took me a while (more than 1 month) to find somebody to cycle with after we shifted. I was so desperate, went around, thick-skinned and all, asking the eastern cycling folks (which isn’t many) that I know for recommendations and connections. Thankfully, one of Auntie SL’s cyclist friends introduced me to a lady who live in the neighbourhood, and in turn I got connected to another cyclist, who is the founder of the Potong Pasir Cycling Group. Woohoo! 

My 1st ride with PPCG was 3 Sundays ago. I got to ride TMCR in the morning; I am totally an Easterner already. They host roadie rides on Friday nights and “friendly” foldie rides on Sunday mornings. On the friendly foldie rides, many of them come with their Brompton. That isnt a foldie, those are like roadies in disguise lor. I am so glad that I go with my roadie for the Sunday rides, and not on my kuku foldie. 

PPCG has a group chat but they also have this rule that newcomers (aka me), need to join 3 rides before they can be included in the group chat. Yday was finally my 3rd ride that nicely coincides with Halloween. While it is Friday night, foldies were welcome, as the destination was to one of the landed neighbours for the Halloween vibes. 

Bcos it is Halloween, my cat ears made an appearance. Hoho. 

Bcos it was a foldie welcome ride, there was a fair bit of riding in PCN and pavements. Short rides on PCNs are tolerable for roadies but the pavements are the kills. I have to keep reminding myself that it was a chill ride. 

We ended up in one of the Halloween decor famous landed houses areas. It was so crowded and the decors were no child play! 

The PPCG.

It wasn’t a long ride, about 40km but there was quite some sightseeing, riding on pavement that the ride only ended close to midnight. We ended up with a drink at the usual kopitiam. It was already almost 1am by the time I reach home.

I need to get used to night rides. I so need my sleep. Hoho.
