Woke up early this morning at 5.30am.. can't really sleep as I was kinda excited about the "Terry's Virgin Ride" event. LOL.
I was kinda stress and worried at the same time cos I have not really ride with my besties before and I am still very intimidated by the road monsters.. aka cars, buses, taxis and lorries. Practically everything!
Well.. the ride didn't really went as smoothly as expected. The first thing that occured... I cycled halfway and the traffic lights turned green for the cars. It got me real scared! Soon things started to stabilise till Freddie told me about changing bike gear and all. I know nuts about it so took me a while to figure out. (At the moment of writing, I am still figuring out). The slopes at Loyang went fine till Freddie got a flat tyre!
Ahhh! My bad. I feel so jinxed that I kinda ruined his virgin ride too on his new Blackie Prince. So Spencer came along to pick us up and we proceeded to cycle without Freddie. Met up with Weisian, Dave and Charmane and yeah cycling ain't as easy as I thought it was. I was struggling to keep up during the first 6km of the Coastal Stretch. Again, worried with the traffic, worried with the over taking cyclists and worried as a whole.. Survived my 6km but ta dah! Another turn of event was about to happen when we are heading back towards Selarang, I sort of turned into a hole and got a flat on my front tyres.
Badshape is me. Dave had to forgot his ride and fetch me to Changi Village to meet up with the rest to fix my tyre! =( Again, feeling so jinxed, so stress and so bad that I kinda ruin everyone's Saturday morning ride. :(
We had nasi lemak and all.. fixed my bike and all and then me and Fred continued our ride back. The rest of the afternoon was spent sleeping, having "afternoon mares" on falling and crashing and having to bear with all the quarreling at home. Sometimes I wished I can have some peace during my weekends..
Thats more or less my "Virgin" ride on 26th Feb 2011. I am still stress and sore of course and am gonna sleep soon! Tomorrow's gonna have a morning run at ECP and I hope it will be a good one! :)
