Sputtering Ride

We tried a different route to Mandai today. I brought the guys from my house to BB East Ave 6, Ave 8, out to BB Road and to 10-mile Junction.

Distance from the revised route to Mandai Shell = 12.5km
It was a nicer route than Upp BT because we had a relatively flat & fast stretch along BB Road. The other section with heavy traffic was into Choa Chu Kang, just before 10-mile Junction.

We did 2 loops in Mandai - 26km each.

Then we retraced the same way back. Alas some stretches were wet, the aftermath of rain. And one particular are along the residential CCK estates, the rain came down rather hard, with buses splashing water all over us. But when we reached BB, it was clear skies!

We rode directly to Rodalink to tune the guys' bikes. Total distance approx 78km.

I think we will take a while more to build up the mileage to 100 and beyond.
