Inaugural Hill-Slayer Ride.

I managed to get past the first one. The second alarm approximately 2 minutes later succeeded in raising me from the bed, however it was only after mummy rapped on the door did I get up and off the bed. After downing a cup of cuppachino and three slices of raisin bread, I packed up the bike and my cycling gear into the car before zipping off to school. I met up with Norms, Nic and Josh at TH, and after a quick brief we were off on my first HSR. 

After a warm up ride up Pasir Panjang road through South Buona Vista Road, we kicked off our training at NUH. We did two NUH-Cheers-Law Link-Business Link-KR bus terminal-PGP-NUH loops before breaking out of the loop onto Clementi road through SRC. After that we hit a short Cross-Campus-last 1.8 km-up Central Library loop before going on the NCLBKPN (refer to above) again. We repeated that twice before (plus an extra 1 kilometre cause we missed a turn...) before ending off at NUS MAC's. Total mileage for today was about 28 km which isn't too bad for a early morning hiilly weekday ride:) Josh, Nic and Norms have morning lessons, so we downed a quick breakfast before going our separate ways. I showered and changed up before heading to YIH to continue on my mugfest. The academic pursuit has not been exactly fruitful thus far but after a quick nap... which I am about to take now... I hope my afternoon will be as fruitful as my morning :) 

Thanks guys for the ride and thanks Norms for that sms... :)
