Fran & Me & the Road

So plan did not start off as well as expected. Woke up this morning at 11am instead so gym was out of the question.

Did manage to put my bike in order to go out for a little spin. Because it was my first in ages plus it was also a test for my ankle, I decided to take it a little easy. Just do a ride up to the Mandai Shell station and back.

However by the time I got to Mandai, I had it in my head that I could squeeze out a little more and so on the way back, I took a little loop around Gambas avenue to make it a nice 40km ride. It was nice to be out on the road again. Plenty of cyclists around tonight but as usual, everyone's a little anti-social, really wish people were nice enough to give a nice nod or smile as they pass. I was happy to just be out with Fran on the road once more. The bumps and slopes are all still familiar and well, forgive the pun but it's like riding a bike. *cue cheesy drum roll*

Only thing that marred the ride was a stupid cab driver who couldn't wait for me and instead decide to cut in front of me so that he can take an exit off the main road. Then he realised he didn't have space to make a complete lane change and so I had to swerve my bike around his backside to avoid a collision. I swung out my arm and made to smack his sideview mirror but alas, my cycling skills are still a little rusty and I missed. I take comfort in the fact that I probably gave him a proper fright nonetheless.

All knackered out now and so I'm gonna take the chance to get in bed and hope I fall asleep earlier than usual. Been doing 4am nights, probably a case of slight insomnia but I really need to get my bio clock set right once more.
