A fast paced Sunday morning ride

I met up with Gordon and his two roadie friends today.

Phase I (7.20a.m. - 7.45a.m.)
  • Home - Canberra Road - Sembawang Road - Upper Thomson Road / Yio Chu Kang Road junction
  • Distance: 9.7km
  • Average speed: 23.3km/h
Phase II (7.55a.m. - 9.20a.m.)
  • Old Thomson Road - Upper Thomson Road - Mandai Road - Woodlands Road - Kranji Road - Kranji Way - Neo Tiew Road - Lim Chu Kang Road - Old Choa Chu Kang Road - CCK Ave 3 - CCK Ave 1 - CCK Way - Woodlands Road / Mandai Road junction
  • Distance: 40.8km
  • Average speed: 28.8km/h
Phase III (9.20a.m. - 9.55a.m.)
  • Woodlands Road - Kranji - Marsiling - Woodlands MRT - Admiralty - Sembawang
  • Distance: 10.3km
  • Average speed: 17.7km/h
The rear gear shifting system was malfunctioning since this morning. When I checked it after I reached home, the gear cable had snapped, rendering the bike only single speed. It was of incredible luck that the cable held as I got through all the climbs and arrived home safely before gaving way. I will need to visit the LBS soon.

Total distance: 60.8km
Money spent: $0
Participants: LSH, Gordon, Marcus, Timothy
