LCSG family @ Trifactor 2013

We were honored to be given 2 slots for the inter cycling club race at Tri-factor 2013. Ro and Tiger Tang were selected and today we saw them in action.

Tiger Tang with his Red Single gear Schwinn... powering to finishing line

Ok, I lied. So we hid at Changi village for a while and after the big downpour we went and cheered for our 2 friends.  It was a 80km ride and all the rest of the riders were in roadies and carbon what nots. Except our 2. Ro was in a Pacific reach SL while Tiger Tang in a Schwinn Single speed. Red for 5km/hr advantage haha.

I was impressed with their performance as they kept on going under pretty scary conditions. I saw tenacity from Tiger. How he skidded and fell in front of us. Got up immediately and jump on, cranking furiously. Thats awesome. Steven, you have taught him well!

skidded... you could hear Steven heart miss a beat!

no fuss, no whimming... just saddle up and carry on. That's tenacity!

We were at the turnoff and witness several crashes. Many due to the slippery road conditions, some due to the un-even handling skill of the riders. And some are just tired and confused. One was particularly memorable as he crashed head on to the barrier, taking down a marshaller with him. 

Spectacular crash, taking out the marshaller 

Eugene was the first to run up and render assistance. While George acted to divert traffic

Also cool was to see many riders taking up the challenge. From Kids, normal folks and even hand bikes.

one of my fav... "santa" 

Hand cycling champ!

was talking to Diane... hmmm maybe it is time for Momo to do this!

Overall I really think it was awesome to see so many folks out and having a ball. We had great fun cheering for LCSG riders and also for others. If I may add just one suggestion to make it safer. It is to have a wider turns. Perhaps this would make it less hazardous to the riders.
I can't wait for Tri-factor 2014!  Thanks again to Trifactor for the sponsor!
