In the afternoon, i went cycling with xuming, zheng wen and chin i. The weather is atrocious so we only dared to go places close to my home. First up, we went to the driving school at yio chu kang to help xuming to register for the basic theory of driving.
Ok everything went smoothly until we were stuck at the road junction outside amk hospital coz a continous chain of noob motorcyclists with L plates were turning right at the junction. Its not that they are noob but the large number of them simply calls for backup plan. We made a detour as we are stuck at the junction like for 10 mins.
Finally reach driving school and parked out bicycles at the bicycle area ( different from the motorcycle area as the security guard tells us ). So xuming and chin i went in and poof!.. come out about 10 min later in time for the pee from the heavens.
Since the rain was heavy enough.. we headed in the direction of my home... Only to find the rain mocking us to become a light drizzle. So we went to the upper peirce reservoir with crazy hills.
My experience thus far when we go into upper peirce is that it will always be the final destination of a cycling trip.. its simply too tiring.
We went down the slope at full speed without braking.. WHEEE!!!... i think its about 50 km/hr and go over the hump and peddle up the slope.. damn its tiring. Everyone was quite dead while climbing this monsterous slope and we took a rest while waiting for xuming. He claims zw's bike is like mercedes and chin i's proton LOL. Since he's using chin i's bike.. its tough for his legs and er hym b***s.
To our horror, in front of us is SLOPE NO. 2. ok.. roller coaster again and oh my poor legs. Xuming's pushing the bike up the slope now... ok there's no more slopes in front to torture us anymore... but a bunch of monkeys on the road.
Zheng Wen got a photo of those small relative humans and they are not at all scared of humans.. u look out for them if ur driving.. roadkill should be quite common. Finally we reached the reservior and we try to figure out where is bukit timah hill with the 2 antenna sticking out of its head.. ah i can see that.. man its short at 160+m. Maybe because the reservoir is many many metres above sea level.
Ok time for the journey out. I managed to go through all of the slopes in 1 go.. probably because there is an urget to conquer them all since i now know there is only 2. So once again i'm speeding and so are the rest enjoying the change from potential energy to kinetic and back to potential. Woooooh... exhilarating.
Man if you intend to conquer the lower peirce reservoir route... train up if its not ur final and only destination for the biking trip. I recommend jogging if you want to sweat more LOL.
Ok thats the interesting part for today. And of course, we all go home.
