OCBC Cycle 2010 - Pictures

Here are some pictures taken during last weekend OCBC Cycle. Overall, it was an enjoyable and smooth race. To our amazement, we did well as a team due over the following facts

(1) We only had 2-3 training rides
(2) First outing as a complete team
(3) Kah Shin's first cycling race
(4) 3 out of 4 were using sports shoes instead of clips-on

Nevertheless, we managed to clock 1:09hrs and stayed as group throughout the 40km. I believed our photo crossing the finish line, showed it all why we are a team!

Race Across America

Lately i have been thinking of doing an ultra event. However, it is not the normal ultra running event that i have been doing for the past 2 years.

The urge to test my physical limits in this area, was tempting! I have checked that no Singaporeans had ever done it before. Hmm.. looks promising to attempt to be the first to try it.

Not to keep in suspense, this ultra event is none other than the Race Across America. It is a transcontinental bicycle race starting on the west coast and finishing on the east coast. The race covers 3000 miles across the Rockies, the heartland of America, and finally the Appalachians. It continues to stands as one the toughest events in the world and a tribute to human endurance.


I have asked my "partner in crime", Lam if he is interested to do 2 man team. Anyway, preparation for this event is not easy as support crews and certain logistic are mandatory. The earliest date to start dreaming is only Year 2011 onwards. 


Til then, akan datang....

OCBC Cycle 2010

Something different for a change........

For the past 2 years, running has been my core sports. I have spent time training and racing in running events. Come this Sunday, i will be participating in a cycling event with some of my friends. We have been some easy trainings such as LCK area, Mandai area and the last one was a trip to Batam.

I am looking forward to this. The last time i cycled in a race, was during Ironman Switzerland in 2007.

Not expecting anything, but to enjoy and complete the race safely!
