Training ride @ T15 on 240410














Time: 0930
Date: 170410
Location:



My first ride Off road on my Giant XTC NRS.

I was hoping for a good ride, unfortunately, i did not do well in this ride. The run on Friday did quite a fair bit of damage on my legs, especially on the quads, hamstring and calfs.

During the ride, the NRS suspension took care of all the bump, it reacts well. I think it is a little bit slower than my previous Voodoo Erzulie on the climb, it may be my condition of fatigue.

Overall, i loved this bike.

Training ride with TMP, the ride is fast and furious. Averaging on computer at 30km/h. The tempo is extremely faster, the pack is closely pack. On the coastal road, the pack pulled at averaging 40km/h.

The ride is one of the best training ride so far, i like the pace and distance.

Time:1hr 18min 44 sec
Distance: 36.39km
Computer average: 27.7km/h

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 030410 @ T15

Time: 0930
Date: 030410
Location: T15
Elapsed time: 1hr 09min 29sec
Distance: 19.54 km
Ave Speed: 16.9km/h

Bike used: Voodoo Erzulie



Drove from home to Chestnut drive. Parked the car and started the the training ride. 2 laps of T15 basic MTB trail route.

Tyre is one of the most important component on the bike. It make a lot of difference on the trail. The geometry is another area that will affect the speed of the bike. In the past I do not believe in this, often sporting a flat bar and a 18 inch frame. The ride is unstable, hard to control over more technical terrain.

After switching to tubeless. The bike dig and hold it line well. Pumping to 35 psi, the ride is wonderful. The grip is good. I believe the Skinny Jimmy sticks onto the ground regardless of the kind of abuse I threw at it.

The average speed is still slow at 17km/h. Hope to work harder to go faster. I aim to hit 20km/h next training session.

Changi Coastal laps on 20th Mar 2010

Time: 0630
Date: 20th Mar 2010
Bike: Cevelo Soloist

This is my routine training ride with TMP. Nice straight fast route. Hitting an average of nore than 36km/h on the coastal stretch. The feel of riding coastal is so good, windy, straight, no lights. In a pace line there is no better place than the coastal training route. It does get boring if you are doing it alone.

Total distance: approx 70km

Total time taken:3 hours

Speed: less than 20km/h with breaks

This is my routine training ride with TMP. Nice route, besides my seat clamp make a lot of noise. I thought it was my bottom bracket or headset. It was my saddle. After 20 to 30 out of saddle effort, it was confirmed.

The weather is clear and sunny, the route is well covered from wind.

Total distance: approx 52km

Total time taken:3 hours

Speed: less than 20km/h with breaks
