Pre Race Day
December 6, 2006
So i couldn’t take part in last last Sunday’s SACA mountain bike race, so the least i could do was try out the loop at Tampines the day before.
The course was WET Wet WET! The past week’s rain had caused the trail to detoriate to slush and mud, so you can guess, it wasn’t very pretty. While The SACA gang were prepping the course in the blazing hot sun (it helped dry the trail a bit), i took the opportunity to give it a go.
It looks easy to tackle, but you’ll be surprised how tough and demanding the course is. Because of the few inches deep of mud, it made it extremely difficult to climb, even on your granny. There were moments where my back tyre was spinning in the mud, and i wasn’t moving anywhere!
After exploring the trail, we helped out a bit to set up for race day. By 2pm, the clouds rolled in and poured buckets…. all that sunshine for nothing, trail was back to its mucky state.
Here’s Ming entertaining us with his chequered flag, finishing line dance.

I have a feeling that statement there is going to be misinterpreted soon
