Yes, we're still in one piece after this xiongalingam ride! Actually, the Himachal training really helped coz I didn't think it was that bad in comparison to a 6-day MTB race in the Himalayas...but then I guess you can't really compare chapati with prata. Plus we were taking our own sweet time waiting for those who suffered from the cramp attack....even managed to get some photos and videos too!
For evidence of pleasurable pain, click on Merciless's Album and Janice's Album....
Above, GPS markings (from Wayne's toy) of the 1oo+Pringles route taken by JanicMaxiWayne (Angela took the "normal" route like everyone else).
According to Pat from the Pedalphiles, the ride autopsy came up with:....
1 guy with a broken finger.
1 singaporean with a broken saddle.
1st rider check in at 12.15
Last 20 riders needed a ride back from checkpoint 3.
Funniest story I heard so far was of some biker with long track pants and GT bike dissing Maximuxx and telling him to lose weight! haha....couldn't stop laughing! All his Hamburger Hill stories...hilarious! There was also a kind Ipoh man who supplied Max with a wonder anti-cramp spray, which worked wonders...until the effects wore off! Then it was back to square one! Poor thing!
Anywayz, kudos to the PCC organisers for putting up such a fantastic show for 650 bikers, especially when we got to be on stage while they were watching! Hee hee! We need to return the favour one day by organising our very own Singapore epic ride! :)
Next stop - Penang Jamboree 2006! We never learn, do we?
