Sunday morning ride

Took a ride this morning with Teryn finally! After the numerous times we'd postponed on each other, we finally got to ride together. I was dead tired actually, since Joe came over to look for me last night and we chatted till early this morning. But i set 6 alarms this morning coz i really really wanted to make it happen. Funny thing was, before the alarms went off, i was up. Considering i slept at 4, set the alarm to go off at 5.20, i was up even before that. Felt like i didn't sleep a wink but i was sure i did =)
Rode easy to West coast Mac to meet her. And we set off from there to Tuas Checkpoint. It was a rather interesting route, although i felt it was a little dangerous especially at all the roundabouts. Other then that, it was a smooth and comfortable ride. I would say it was a nice comfortable pace for me as compared to ENR rides which are crazy. It was a nice change from the chionging and trying to keep up with others. Met many riders along the way and especially as we were near West Coast Macs. Many people apparently ride on weekends! HA...
Eh.. Went to makan at Cheese Prata Shop after that before tackling the NUS slope and heading home via commonthwealth road. Total distance covered: 54km.
Home to West Coast macs: 7.5km
West Coast Macs to Tuas and Back: 37km
Back home: 9.5km
Came back home, cramped downstairs just as i got off the bike. Timing couldn't be more perfect. Coz not sure what i would have done if i had cramped on the bike =) Posititve thinking. Although, i probably need to figure out why i have been cramping recently. Probably not due to speed as i didn't push very hard today. Supposed to be an easy ride. So why? Hmmm... better go do some reading off the net and see if i can find out. =)
