ELITE...

Most ppl are shocked when I told them I'm not a good cyclist, I dunno why. However, that's the truth!! I only picked up cycling last April, when I went Pulau Ubin with my army frens. Not exactly the best place to learn how to cycle because of the bumpy terrain, but my cycling skill did managed to improve quite a lot I think..haha. The second time I cycled was last Friday. Guess what? 2nd attempt only and I'm cycling on the roads. Took part in the night cycling event, ELITE, organised by my hall. Had a very shaky start, took a while for me to get accostumed to riding bicycle again. So bad that I thought there was something wrong with the bike. Haha, actually it was just me. Fall out not too long after riding out from NTU. Deniece was very nice to let me sit in the vehicle while she helped me test the bike. Sitting in the vehicle was very different from riding the bike. It was damn boring!! I wonder how the 4 gals sitting at the back managed to endure and survive the whole trip....haha.

After we finish resting at the first checkpoint, I told deniece that I wanted to carry on riding. Zheng Guo was another kind soul. He let me use his bike which was very easy to handle, no need to change the gear at all. Seriously, I dunno how the gear thingy function. I think it is a combination of getting the hang of it and that the bike was good, I dun have any problem after that, and we cycled all the way from West Coast to Lau Pa SA, to Cosy Bay, and then to East Coast. Cycled from 12am to 6am, cycle until balls pain. Damn.

It had been quite an enjoyable ride. Met some interesting and nice ppl, gained a good experience riding at night, and I think my cycling skill went up one notch. However, it could have been better if not for the hiccup at the beginning. Supposed to start at 9pm, but in the end, we only leave at 12am. 3 hours delay!! Wait until damn bored and sleepy. Luckily someone brought cards, at least got some form of entertainment. Managed to maintain my 100% winning streak for bridge also.. haha! Hmm... maybe I should join bridge IHG next year. I also realised that cycle is actually quite fun. Shall go cycling one of these days.

That's the start, the middle, and the end. Aren't you glad the universe pretends if I don't get this message home. Once again I'm gonna head along. Ride with me... (quoted from the song Ride by The Vines)
