To Sungei Tengah Road, 69 km. Uncharacteristically of me, I change my mind just before a ride. Instead of heading across the causeway, I decide to tour in Singapore. Packing my camera, my first stop is to see the Thomson roadies in action - from the front instead of the familiar rearview. On the way, I meet WH and bike guru AF. I see PCRT in action too; they go up Old Upper Thomson Road uphill, while the Thomson roadies come downhill. Spectacular. I chat a bit more with AF, then try to catch up with the roadies. I overtake a few, and a few overtake me. One of them, like the PCRT coach, tells me to get a road bike. It remains to be seen if I'll become invisible if I get one. But I do know beauty when I see it: Jalan Lekar and Lorong Semangka. I must be a sight for sore eyes too, for the doggies come after me. The owner barks like his dogs but fails to call them off. Grrr! I shake them off though I'm so slack today, I stuff my face on the road - twice!
