Hell to recession.

Haven been riding lately, thus feeling a little unfit. lol

There may be a ride from ECP to Changi.V with my secondary school mate, but it's very not confirm. Even if it's confirm, I am still vex about riding my 19 there or just rent a bike there. Well, will till the ride is confirm den come back to that question.

I always want to go Marina Barrage on my bike, but it seems like no one wants to go, cousin's having some dragon boat training on sat, and few ex-cyclist mate are still busying with exam. Well, if possible I hope we can go on this Saturday..

Now I am looking at my bike which is of cos in my room.. Thinking to change the bike away since it's 3yo, bb is making hell lots of noise, frame 'grow' smaller etc.. Previously, I was still thinking to get back hardtail with lock out front suspension which comes with most of the new bike, and I will fit the hardtail with 1.5 slick tyre and get clip less pedal to increase my power transfer.

But now I am looking at road bike, a decent one will cost me abt $1k. I am looking at Scott speedster S50, S60. Low end bike but hell to that, as long as it can serve me well..

This S50 will cost me 1.3k if I am not wrong, and that's w/o clip less pedal.

I suppose Giant's rd bike might me more expensive then S50, thus I don even consider them. But, if I really get a racer, it means that I can no longer ride like how I am riding now(jumping from road to pavement over curb, riding on uneven surface etc).

But then again, hardtail seems to be a better choice cause I can ride like how I am riding now, and I can go slick and increase my speed and of cos, it seems to be more worthwhile.

This Jamis durago 3.0 cost about $1k as well and I just gonna change the tyre and save a couple hundreds more to buy my clip less pedal and shoes.

This is GT AVA 1.0 with V-brake and I DON'T MIND V BRAKE at all, the good thing is, it comes with clip less pedal, which means I can jus buy the cleats and vola!

Well, this is exactly the same except the colour and also this is in disk-brake mode. I would probably get this and change the tyre to slick and buy the cleats.
Well, I think I am going to get some sponsorship from hmmmm.....
nvm

Now, I only gt like 600 bucks for the bike, i seriously need to save more. Meanwhile, I will make the bb sound more crazy by cycling more!

HOT on TAIL.

Was on a mission to somewhere near the new Sengkang sports complex, so i went on my wheels.

Don know if it's the wind that's going against me, or is it that i woke up not long ago or i simply jus too tired, i couldn't cruise at 30kmh, i jus lack of that smth to pedal.

Was travelling on Sengkang E Rd, den i turn left to go Anchorvale Rd and pass the new complex which i had it planned to be my first pit stop(to get myself a drink). But, realized that the 7-11 wasn't open, and construction is still going on.

Next was the long load towards Fernvale St. It was fun.. well.. to a certain extent. I manage to reach 41.5kmh on straight and I AM PROUD TO SAY I OVERTAKE A CAR. except that it's a L plate car. haha.. nvm, i wonder how can she tahan to travel so wols, cos on that road i will try my means to stay at the speed limit (50), once the pin drop a bit, i will accelerate a bit more..

yada yada yada.. after I am done with what I am supposed to do, I decided to go Kampong Buangkok, which is the last kampong in Singapore. Some more I will pass by it while going back, so why not?

Everything was good, enjoying every bits that the place can give me, be it the scenery or the aroma of the flower. BUT, not till when I stop at a dead end, I din notice there were dogs there. so i stop, wanted to take my phone out to take some pics. Out of the sudden, 1 dog was barking and came rushing out den went back, next moment i heard more than 2 dogs bark, and came rushing towards me! wa lau, don wait liao, i faster pedal and run!


I turn my head back and look, saw this black dog is hot on my tail. See liao i pedal even faster and I reach a T junction where I almost slip when I am turning right. luckily, this friendly lady living at the T junction help me to chase the dog back. close shave..

Then i went back and took some photos and balak kampong.




This is the friendly lady's house

I was at the other end where the dog's reside. The fore-grd is where i turn right and almost slip. Guess i was too kan jong.

A whole new start

Just gt back on my wheels 3 weeks ago when my cousin decided to get himself a bike. GT ava 3.0 disk at $620 if i din remember wrongly and some other essential items like lights, both front and rear, and a helmet.

My set up would be a stock wheeler pro19 which i gt it 3 yrs back. what i have done on that bike was to change my tyre to Schwalbe racing ralph and add 2 light to my 19, 1 in front, the other at the rear.

and I use to ride with/o any helmet, but that's history. I realized how accident can happen within a split second and anyone can be lying on the tar road. That alone make me buy my helmet that make my wallet $70 lighter.

Now, i am realizing that 19 is no longer suit my needs. the frame 'grow' smaller, realized that i am riding mostly on road, so it will be best if my bike is fitted with a slick tyre, or even better, get myself a scott speedster 50(dream on). HAHA..
