To Nanyang Tech University, 78 km. I want to take the day off because HR Dept says "use it or lose it". But I'm caught between two rocks and two hard places ... Anyway, I manage to get half a day off and off I go to NTU to check out this Sunday's road race route. It's not a fun ride as I'm still smarting from what happened in the office. And I wonder if I'll be disqualified for being overlapped this Sunday. I see two roadies training. I stop to check a map, then trundle one round. I'm kinda knackered after riding non-stop for 40 km on kinda deflated tyres (training lah). After round 2, I head for home. I spy a roadie (must've flown out of class) and give chase from a standing start. I overtake him but he gives me short shrift after that. What to do, he's young and fresh ...
Tech note I stop by to see Bikeshop Man to true my wheels after the smashing they got at the Subaru race . He won't tell me first how much it'll cost but gets to work. He's a real craftsman and does a better job than another guy who'd charged me $4 to true one wheel. Bikeshop Man asks for $10. He says it's half-price; he usually charges $10 per wheel.
