Asian Selection Event Trial for 32nd Asian Cycling Championship and 19th Junior Cycling Championship
Date: 8 Jan 2012
Location: Changi Coastal Road
Registration starts 630am
Registration fee: $20
Why it costs $20 to register for a selection beats me, but I should be going down with my camera to catch the action! I wonder if I will ever attain such an elite physical level...
I hope it also spurs me to train harder and see if this is what I want in cycling... Time Trial racing!

First commute to school of 2012!
They say this year is the end of the world, live life to the fullest!
Let me share what's in my commuting bag!
Column 3: SAF toiletry bag, GIYO handpump, tire levers, Gorrilla grip / Allen keys, spare tube
Column 4: Force 21 15L waterproof sack.
Although the weather forecast was clear, I decided that bringing my wet weather stuff gave me a peace of mind :) I should write about my experience in wet weather riding soon!
Anyway, the commute to school, was rather peaceful. Light traffic and taking the Mandai route to Old Choa Chu Kang Road and entering the service road of the Catholic cemetery added to the tranquil feel. The commute felt moderately fast, thanks to fresh legs and the Malacca ride.
However on the way back was rush hour, so I decided to cut through Bukit Brown Cemetery instead of the crazy busy Lornie Road or an even longer detour down to Chancery Lane. I was hoping the route was unblocked, as there is much hype at the moment... While riding through, it seems many of the tombstones were maintained and now had wooden sticks with serial numbers. I read they were going to archive every single one, the first such effort apparently.
Anyway, halfway in:
I nearly fell when I couldn't unclip as I entered a offroad trail where lots of mud looked churned up by horse's hoofs, and two men ahead undisturbed by my appearance discussed about how their tractors were going to enter the area. As I passed, I felt a little sad that the area will be replaced by a road in due time.
I stopped by at MacRitchie Reservoir, where i captured the above awesome shot. And some others:
Have a great year everyone!
