Still not easy

To Lim Chu Kang, 77 km. I join Singapore Women's Cycling Team charity training ride for a hospital. Thinking it'll be an easy ride, I have soft tyres. As it turns out, I'm the sole mountain biker among the six who show up. Another roadie overtakes us. In a flash, I'm on his tail. He makes a rapid S-turn while I slow down and he drops me for good. While I stop to wait for the rest of my group, I see the the lead peloton of the Thomson ride shoot by. It's a sight to behold, compared to the middle group who come in twos and threes. I continue chasing roadies who pass by, until I'm winded. And hungry. The charity riders are still fresh and I drop further to the back.
