Idle chatter

To Changi Coast Road, 68 km. There are slack rides - and idle rides. The former involves riding at a slack pace. The latter involves lots of waiting, chatting and plain idling. We idle at the SAF Yacht Club. Well, not all that idle as I keep an eye on our bicycles outside the premises. The powers that be decree that bicycles are not allowed into the vast expanse of the club. We chat about our mutual friends and our rides. Bikerboey (the last time I rode with her was in Aug 04) tells us about a night ride past a haunted house. It's creepy hearing that story even in broad daylight. Not that there was all that much daylight today. I'm caught in the rain at the start and end of the ride. And buzzed by the usual "drunk" Singapore drivers who are so incapacitated, they are incapable of signalling their intentions.
