SE : Good wind training.
J : What wind???
Fast forward to 7th November 8am
J : Ohh... This headwind!!!

The ride almost din happen. No thanks to my dinner.
With 4 hrs of sleep, I rode out towards Punggol Islands to do my loops.
Left turn into PI, I almost slipped and fell on the pebblely roads.
Stopped to give Jason a call, only to realise that I left my Do-Not-Leave-Home-Without-It kit at HOME!!!
Two choices.
1) Do my loops and hope to catch the guys riding in.
2) Ride back out to warn the guys.
I choose the latter and ended up doing loops along Yishun Ave 1! :)
Kena caught by Eugene again.
Haha, hard to hide from him when u live just 3 (American) blocks away.
When the guys still din appear at 7am, I decided to ride down Mandai Road.
Very unusual for FOTR to change routes impromptu.
Did a U-turn along Upper Thomson Road.
There is no reason for the guys to be that late except for rain.
Up North is dry as a bone. :)
Northerners tend to be spared the agony of rain when most parts of Singapore rained out :)
Did my PI loops and headed back home for my next appointment. :)

Today's weather is cool and less humid.
Feels like race day condition?
Din feel a need for water till 30km and gel till 45km.
Gotta watch my nutrition carefully.
Good weather still requires hydration and calories.
Completed 70km ride on a single gel and a bottle of isotonic water which is highly unusual for me.
PI feels more like LCK than CCR to me.
The roads is so gently sloped that u ride slower in one direction.
Its slight turns and bends is just perfect for what I may encounter in WA.
