Ready or not? Here we go

"eh... tomorrow want to ride? " 


Tomorrow we ride for Paul Lim. Now 128km can be a piece of cake for some but to most of us weekend cycling warriors and LCSG-ers it is abit on the long side. No matter and I know we will be able to make it.  Double water bottle filled, Tires check, patch kit, levers, handpump, inner tubes, power gel, snacks... all checked. Zip tie the awesome Paul ride design on my bike.  Lube it all up and did a test ride to check all is in working condition.  Ready.... set....
yes, I cheated.. I took out my Plechser stand to reduce weight.. 

Mounted a foam board to read the directions... so I don't bring team 4 to holland
Spare tube, potato chip,  power gel, candy, rain coat 
 
Toolkit and levers checked
Swapped to my trusty Lezne pump.. not as sexy as the carbon one but this pumps faster, better.

29th April 2012 Ride for Paul 128km

The man who can smoke em all.. Paul Lim  artwork by Joeel
This Sunday, 29th April we will ride in Paul Lim's memory. Last year same date, Paul and his friends were supposed to ride to Sendil, Malaysia. While the group was travelling on a van towards Changi Village. The van was rear ended by a drunk driver at ECP expressway. The force was so great that it flipped the van and in the process, Paul was thrown out of the vehicle.  More of the fateful event here
90 folks will do this ride and special mention are the 9 Carryme riders led by Ro herself. This would be an event that Paul would approve of.  Let's do a good, safe ride and have fun. Chiong ah! 
*Pls note the route is the same as the 128km night ride. GPS map here , Thanks Encik George.
Meet point will be at Bigsplash, near the roller blading area, closer to the PCN. 0715 meet, 0730 first group move out. http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t611-29th-april-2012-remembering-paul-lim-128km-ride-registration-is-closed  Come on by and support the riders!
