Going the Distance

I bought my cyclocomputer in mid May this year. And from that time till now, I've finally reached the 1,000km mark. Woohoo!

Think of all the kilometres on beautiful singletrack, the picteresque scenery from Ubin and Tamp, the busy roads and the many idiots on sidewalks I so long to just run over and 2 flat tyres I've had at the most inconvinient times.

Ah, so many memories forged with my cycling kakis in just 1,000km, many good and some painful ones.

And actually ah, I've cycled much more than 1000km on my current bike. The lapse from End Apr to mid May when I bought the cyclocomputer should've added at least 500km to my mileage. Haha.

Not bad ah, considering I only touch my bike twice a week. Anyways, I've decided to buy my Stumpjumper only after I analyse whether I have the time in uni to use it properly. But in all probability, I will end up buying one.

That is, if I survive long enough. I was on the way back on my bike and yet again, I almost got knocked down by a car, at the bottom of the kickass hill from the guardhouse to my block. This time, an Audi had the honour of almost whacking me. I swear man, I know its my fault I'm speeding down the hill when even cars slow down to avoid the 3 humps down the hill, BUT, I'm not a car. And just cos the lane is free doesn't mean you can veer into MY lane.

Bloody P-plate drivers.

LOL. I FINALLY drove today. Took my sister's Mitsubishi Colt for a spin. I've been damned pissed off with my mum cos she's been making excuses for these past 2 weeks saying she has no time to accompany me on the Cefiro for my maiden drive. My other sister with her MPV also offered, and ended up making excuses. In the end, it was the other sister, the one who never offered who actually stepped up to the plate.

And my sister is damn cool la. "Oi. Faster la." were the few words she said to me on my drive from my house to IKEA. I'm like already going 80km/h on the Pasir Ris main road.

So going 100km/h on the main road is allowed in her car?!? Woohoo. Damn cool la.

I was nervous at first cos I thought she would've been a stiff for safety.

Best virgin drive ever. 100kmh on road and 150kmh on the PIE. Lol. And the Colt's steering is so light, it felt like my XBOX steering.

How can biking on the road be fun when one can drive on the road? Stupid roadies.

Ok la, the rain's stopped. I want to see whether I can go do a round at Tamp... Haven't been biking as much because there's my routine of waking up Sat morning to bike has been put on hold for a short while... Somehow, the weekend seems shorter by waking up later.. Weird, cos I sleep later which means I'm awake the same no. of hours.. One of the mysteries of life...
