Night Cycling

We went riding tonight. Quite a big turnout, about 10 cyclists. We met at the Bt Batok Swimming Complex and rode towards Ten-Mile Junction. The plan was to do 40ish km non-stop tonight. The guys were going fast, high-speed. I was trying out a new seat post from Eddie, and trying to use a more efficient cycling cadence. At certain sections of the route, traffic was still fast and heavy. Mandai Rd was a series of rolling hills, my quads burnt in the headwind. We then went along Old Upp Thomson Road, which was our usual Pierce Reservoir running route. There were several bends along the winding road, which made for a great chiong-ing stretch. We headed back along Mandai to Choa Chu Kang area after that. Whew, I was looking forward to the end of the ride. We stopped at a coffee shop near Petir Road after the 'end' of the ride, before everyone headed back separately. I reached home around 130am, totally bushed.
