The night training ride with TMP, the ride is fast, the group is tight. It feels more like a road race than a training ride. I like this route, quiet, with vey little traffic.

Training Ride on 30th Mar 2010 Starting 2100

Time: 2100
Date: 30th Mar 2010
Bike: GT Single speed MTB

Spent a lot of time fixing up my single speed. Finally it is ready for the test. The first few pedal stroke, a single speed feel so efficient. The lack of a shifting system forces me to go into "hardworking" mode. There is no chance i can outwit my bike with its multiple gears.

Each revolution feel different. The top speed tested is about 36km/h and the climb can be fast. Though taxing on the muscle and knees. The bike is fun.

The only draw back is that the torque generated by all the standing attacks and stomping caused the wheels, chain, left crank gave way.The chain dropped twice at Punggol road, the crank came loose on at Tampines road, I discovered the wheels are loose by the time i got home.

I could have got further, i was limited by my bike. They say single speed is good due to the ease of maintenance, i doubt so now, the torque is just too much for the bike to handle.

Total distance: approx 36km

Total time taken:2 hours

Speed: less than 18km/h with breaks
