I think the Eastern boys finally had their fill

of Pulau Ubin and Tampines Trail and so the

venue for today's group ride is Bukit Timah.

Yayyyyy !!!!

Everything was off to a good start as the peloton

assembled at Velocity in Novena just a little bit after

8AM. Breakfast was at 6th Avenue.

Everything went like clockwork. If this group ride

was a battle, I would have said there were no prisoners

taken and no quarters asked. Good thing there were

no newbies in the attendees.

Once the BT loop was cleared, everybody was

off to ZH Park and then to Rooty Trail.

At the exit of Rooty Trail there was talk of

having an early lunch but the leading uncles

said no to the walking wounded (AKA ElGuapo)

and that was that.

So we all went to up the summit via Gangsa and

went to the new trail on the right (instead of going

straight ahead) to get some experience of cornering

on natural berms.

At the first stream, NoLights Louie's patient,

ElGuapo, complained about hurting both left and

right shoulders as well as his spinal column (??!!!).

NL Louie showed her some stretching techniques

she learned in Electrical Eng'g and ElGuapo was

good to go.

Finally, a looonnggg lunch was had by all

at Sembawang Hill Hawker Centre.

After lunch, all of them went to YioChuKang

Road and I was left alone to cycle home :-(

Anyway, before I got home I took a picture of this

new bikeshop in Novena. This bikeshop is just

one block away from TEF. The shop's name is Elite

and they are selling ... no surprises here : Elite bikes.
