Runway Cycling

I woke up at freaking-five-in-the-dawn!
Took a nice warm shower and headed out with the bike to Ym's house.

We were heading for the Runway Cycling organized by SAFRA.
This is such a break away from my usual routine whereby I would have brunch, so I actually forgot to buy breakfast. The only thing I could find for a decent breakfast-on-the-go besides chips and biscuits were those cereal bar. Not that I hate them or anything, I find it hard (literally) to bite into them. Braces. So I took almost 15mins to finish 1 bar. Gosh!

We loaded the bikes up the van and set off.
I didn't bring camera cause I thought cameras were not allowed. But after I read again, it only states 'Telescopic cameras not allowed'.

Anyway, there was a queue to get pass the gates. We had to walk through metal detectors and bags got checked. Its an air base after all.

Waited and waited for the flag off at 8.30am. We chose the 15km route and were probably somewhere in the middle behind the flag off point. So after the flag off, we were cycling and the runway had such a massive crowd, after 10minutes, I still couldn't see where's the front. I looked back and woahhh... a long trail at the back.

Aiyo..Don't know why, cycling in up and down the whole stretch of ECP didn't seem as tiring as this leh. Perhaps due to the lack of greenery.

Finally made past the finish point. Damn shagged!

Then there was the fun fair, so went to get something to eat before having a kiddy ride on the choo-choo-train. Wahahhaa...

We'll be back next year. Probably to try the endurance challenge of 45km. Hahaha..
