Denis Silk's Steady Steady Changi Report

 
 

Stage One Victory: Steady Steady Changi.

The road closures did not detract from having 18 riders join forces to head off on the steady steady changi ride. The vast majority never seemed to have turned right at Mandai road. The initial nerves spiked into outlandish chatter amongst the group.....or was that just Dave :)

The group rode superbly well, calls were made, everyone looked out for each other and everyone having a go on the front at some point. Unfortunately we did have a couple of punctures on route but the group enjoyed the impromptu breaks using the time to refuel. The group also welcomed the break at Changi village where we stopped for a short break.

I had the old fashioned GPS, with the directions from the group on how to manoeuvre around the road closure so we were all set. Traffic was not an issue, of course more than the usual Kranji route but a nice change actually. The group descended upon coffee bean to find still some riders enjoying their caffeine fix for the morning.

Thanks to everyone for a fabulous ride and see you all next week where we will follow the normal changi route, just to confuse you even more :) Reminder you can start from Rats at 6am to add another 20-25km or join again from the Longhouse at 7am for the steady steady changi. If you join both, it will be about 105-110km. And if discussions on the ride and at coffee bean are anything to go by, we will have quite a group for the 180km ride on 26th.


Happy riding

Best Regards
