The Biting point

wow hahaha im very happy with yesterdays 1 hr driving lesson.all i did was practise to start off a incline slope. with that ability, i feel mor confident on the road.

Speaking of studies, all i wish is just to pass all modules...... a F up gpa is perfectly fine with me.

second thoughts

Just completed my first rodawest ride with a 8.5kg alu bike. The ride was so so bumpy, acclerations felt sluggish compared to my previous ride

I tend to miss my carbon frame, its both stiffer and more comfy. Wasted it have a shallow head angle and a long wheelbase, if not i would have kept it.

This scott geometry is much better, out of saddle surges felt more controlled.However ride is very bumpy. I wonder if the BMC streefire would be that bad too....

I am seriously wondering if the bmc with ultegra 6700 would be sub 8kg...., remembering my previous carbon bike was only 7.9 kg

Worth the $$$

i want value out of every single dollar. is $900 for a set of aero carbon wheels worth it? if it can resell for 800 or more to me its worth....

i belive there is a chance my new bike will be heavier then my current built as the frameset alone weight 350g more den my carbon frame:(

shit the carbon rims needa wait 2 mths for the manufacturing process, by then maybe i lost the interest alr..

Bike stuff to get
- frameset
-ultegra 6700
-carbon wheels( if i can get a good deal)

Bike stuff to sell
-complete scott roadie with tiagra.
-Reynolds solitute (if i buy the aero wheel)

auto race signup

In case some ppl are wondering why my name is on the ITT start list and why i nv start. Its simply that i did not sign up and i dunno why my name is on the startlist. So i will not be competing.

My bet for this race would be alvin poon(if he dun screw up) or Yan Han(who has been very consistent).

NP cycling direction

Now im really confused as to which direction to take. . . . Most of the guys are leaning to the pro side, as they see themselves improve ride after ride. Next week will be specific TTT training. Today was the first ride i said a prayer for safety every 5 mins. Thank God we are in one piece...


Many thanks to jason wo and guowei.

life is improving.

Im kinda satisfied now .. even though i dunno how to explain it.Cycling is a closed chapter in my life alr. doing badly at the brickland race motivated me even more. i really put in alot of effort in my sprint intervals. Well the result was worth it.....for the 200m sprint, i was able to feel the extra power need to pump into the pedal. Many thanks to jeff who taught me. well at least my "silly sprints" are worth 2 gold medals.

well i hope another chapter will start in the future. when i see u guys on the road, amirun ,tianfah,nick,daniel,jeremy,ryan,another daniel,wayne.... well i realise its a real joy to ride with you guys.without u guys,i would trade my bike for a tennis racket alr...

On to studies, well now its all about passing my modules and get on to semester 4..
some may say its too low a goal to just pass, well thats my target. study hard local uni also cannot make it,may i just dun have the potential to go there
just passing will help me get a banking and finance diploma........


Studying to pass and studying to score is really different, and i enjoy whats going on now..:)

life is improving.

EVEN FOR CYCLING
even today when i did my own cycling ride at brickland. i told myself aim for a 20min hard session, heart rate maintain 160. IN the end i only sprint the downslope to 60k den slack for the rest or the loop and sprint again. my hb not even 130 i guess. i notice on fridays rides i can manage to suck justin and gain a good workout.cos maybe sat no sch thus i go all out.

new crank

i totally love my compact crank... shall not explain much.
hit new speed record with my bicycle 62km/h
tried 90rpm peddling technique, knees hurt, i think im more suited to the 95-100 rpm range.


things to get
-nike tights
-nike livestrong jersey
-105 brake calipers
-sunglasses
-frame decal
