Hi All,

This is an interest check to see if any riders are keen to participate in the LCSG 128km Round Island Ride on 05May2013.

Preliminary Details of this LCSG 128km Round Island Ride can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t829-5th-may-2013-remembering-paul-lim-128-ride

The previous requisite or requirements and rules for participation in the last year’s LCSG 128km Round Island Ride can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t722-lcsg-128nri-qualifying-training-rides

Additional Details about last year’s actual LCSG 128km Round Island Ride if interesting for you to read/know can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t710-22nd-sept-2012-lcsg-night-128-ride-closed

We are planning to send ONE TEAM (or TWO TEAMS if there are more riders) from SHC to participate in this 05May2013 LCSG 128km Round Island Ride.

The following SHCians have graciously agreed to be our trainers, to prepare our SHC Team of Riders for this event. They are:

1. Andrew Thio (available for training rides on Wednesdays = OK, Mondays and Fridays = May Be)
2. Douglas Chan (available for training rides on Saturdays = OK, Sundays = PM only)
3. Loh Yew Kwong (available for training rides on Sundays = OK)

A training schedule planning is in the pipeline but will most probably starts on week 06/52.

As for training routes, we will keep to the same routes/circuit for the first few weeks. We can gradually increase the numbers of loops round the same circuit to simulate the distance of 128km.

At the middle or later part of the training (perhaps in week 12/52), we will go riding on portions of the actual 128km route to get all the SHC participating riders to be familiar with the 128km route.

Near the end of training (perhaps in week 16/52), we will ride the complete actual 128km route as a trial ride (but not for simulating the speed but to get a feel of the complete route in one go at slower pace to test stamina and endurance etc….)

Then we will have a break or cooling-down period (of about two weeks) to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the D-Day ride on week 19/52 i.e. 05May2013.

Lastly, please note that the LCSG 128km Round Island Rides are mainly on ROADS. So, you must be comfortable riding on roads. There are mandatory rules and safety considerations as well as qualifying rides to be met before you can ride on 05May2013. This is the reason why we have to be trained and have to be committed to the cause and to the SHC team as a whole.

NOTE: If you are keen but not sure if you can make it and would like to give your best shot, please raise your hands here too. Our trainers will put in their best foot forward and if, at the end of the day, you really cannot heck it (dropping out), we are OK (no problems!) with it. Because, at least, you have given it your best shot (and live with no regrets). That’s really good enough rewards for me and for the trainers.

If you have any queries whatsoever, please ask and we will try our best to give you an appropriate answer, pending more or firm details from Mr Tai Woon of LCSG Group.

Looking forward to see you step forward and raise your hands here. Thank you.

Regards,

Ivan Lim
