Mtb FRIM

What went through my mind when the alarm beeped at 7am was did I seriously agree to do this. Francis picked me up at 8am sharp (not bad) along with Jeff and Adrian, and after many ‘are we there yet’s, we reached FRIM.

Took me awhile to get into my cycling legs- after some false starts, I was bumping along the rocky terrain :D Was a little unsteady what with my bike being a little too big and heavy for me not to mention the blasted rocks scattered along the trail… but those are just excuses heh. The boys were really encouraging, telling me that I was doing a good job when in fact I was crawling up the slope at a turtle’s pace… I ended up playing it safe and did a lot of pushing especially at muddy uphills and uneven downhills, am a bit disappointed with myself. Wish I sucked it in and forced my way through, come what may any accidents haha. But one consolation was that I made it to the crossroad without any major wipe out yay.

“It’s called Steroid Hill for a reason!” - Francis

Was a wuss and skipped out on Steroid Hill as my tiny legs will definitely NOT survive the 15 minutes straight crazy steep climb. Got lost with Francis while trying to find an alternate route out… bumbled along (and had little crashes here and there) until HALLELUJAH the car park!!! After that it was Bak Kut Teh to replenish lost carbs. Two bowls of rice and lots of fatty pork hee.

Superficial or not, the cuts I obtained were a bitch to deal with in the shower. The bloody stinging OWWW. But my father was proud of my battle wounds! Dad used to be a hardcore biker when he was younger… I now know why I’m such a tomboy haha. Am motivated to google up some mtb tips from blogs, but right now, what I REALLY want to do is zzz. Hullo bed. G’night.

My story about cycling:

Mingshen taught me how to ride a bike when i was 16 (so old right, shy) and dad bought me a regular bike i almost crashed into a moving car in front of a crowded area almost died and almost died of shame, then i got my driving license and thats the last ive seen of my bike. Boo
