Cycling in the Tropics – there may be trouble ahead!
Cycling in the Tropics – there may be trouble ahead!
Three rides this week, 2 short (50k) runs plus a longer run on Saturday (124k). Feeling great on Tue and Wed but my heart rate was way into the red zone for much longer than usual during Saturdays ride and a number of times I deliberately eased off. Looks like I’m coming down with something!
Normally I would have undertaken a 160km route on Sat, instead I ducked home earlier than originally planned – just to be on the safe side!
Sunday saw Charlie and I hosting the monthly Joyriders lunch at our condo. I didn’t ride Sunday as I simply didn’t feel up to it but after a couple of medicinal beers on Sunday afternoon – I suddenly felt a lot better!
Tue 23rd June Joyriders Tue Sprints 54km 1.52hrs 29kmh
Wed 24th June Joyriders Wed 52km 1.52hrs 28kmh
Sat 27th June Mandai loop/Changi 124km 4.04hrs 30kmh
Plans are progressing well for our TTC fundraiser in Singapore this coming Sat. Michele, Murli’s girlfriend has been instrumental in assisting. We have a number of key donations for an auction and lucky draw – notably from Andi at Swiss Valley bike shop (www.swissvalley.com.sg), in River Valley Road and from Choon Wei at The Bike Boutique (www.thebikeboutique.com) in Amoy St. We will also have a live blues band, a poet who creates personalised verse, a tarot reader and possibly a caricaturist! Not forgetting the screening of the Lions V S.Africa game of course! Shaping up for a great night out.
