Ok here goes the other portion of the evaluation: To Be Improved: 1. Overestimating: Overestimated my strength & stamina, plus also what I needed. Also not training with a full load was a tough mistake I paid for – having push up most of steeper slopes. Climbing without a load is really one thing, having […]
Ok first up, this is kinda a confession blog. Or maybe not, cos I’m not covering up in any way that I didn’t complete 300km that I planned to ride. In fact, I only rode 1/3 of what I have planned. Lol… Well, guess the solo was a great gauge of my personal strengths & […]
Cows do that cos they have multiple stomachs. I don’t have those physically, but think I have multiple stomachs emotionally & mentally, perhaps, spiritually. There have been so many, actually myriad of experiences which I’ve been through during the 15-days journey. If I had a video going for 15 days, it will still be only […]
As I somewhat meld into the pace of life, somewhat starting to mimic the pace of the locals where I’ve passed, I realised what Rinaldo (host at Gaeta) was saying in a deeper meaning. Interesting to have met a German couple in their 20’s, mature & well-mannered & open to discover cultures & mingle. We […]
Think it’s a lesson I need to learn over & over, cos of my stubborn independence. I must say it has been eroded over the years, along with pride, which in its haydays would not allow yours truly to receive any form of help. Period. Today was supposed to be a relaxed ride. Route was […]
Interesting hashtag which I came across recently. Well, for my generation (Gen-Xers), maybe am not exactly keeping up with the fast-advancing internet-social-network-speak per se. This hashtag thing, incidentally, I had just discovered it’s magic only a couple of weeks ago. Lol…. So much for one who has been relatively trendy for awhile. #yolo: you only […]
This past weekend has been superb in terms of new experiences. Mainly, riding in the rain. This is obviously not me, though I do aspire to ride & still look a glam-pot. However, in this crazy humid weather, it is quite impossible. Ah… The joy of riding in the continental climate, where dry is the […]
It has been an eye-opening 2 months to a new area – cycling on a foldable bike. Some interests as well to do bike tours eventually – either in Japan or scenic routes around Europe. But I must say it has been fun being initiated into road riding with a pack (ie. other cyclists). There […]
Ha! Did it! Made it to work with plenty of time to spare. Must say the lure of the bed was strong, but the excitement of the adventure had me jumping out of bed within 10 minutes of waking up. I’m a serial bed-lazer – sometimes, I can laze for another 30 minutes before actually […]
