Our own SHC Cycling T-Shirt is finally here……for the 128km RIR EC Event.
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:
- Andrew Thio (available for training rides on Wednesdays = OK, Mondays and Fridays = May Be)
- Douglas Chan (available for training rides on Saturdays = OK, Sundays = PM only)
- 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

Dear All,
Just an after-thot, we will need the assistance from a few SHCians/Volunteers for driving a support and/or safety vehicle during the middle or later part of the training schedules.
The support and/or safety vehicle will follow us during our training loops (simulating 128km distances) and also during our trial ride of the actual 128km round island route.
Another worthwhile suggestion from one of the trainers; is for us to create a cycling jersey (actually I prefer just a Hi-Quality Dri-Dry Long Sleeve Mandrain Collar T-Shirt with Zippers would be ideal, no need for those “pro-cycling jerseys”) for this EC event or for the SHC Cycling Team.
For this apparel thingy, I really need a special projects SHC volunteer who can take up this idea independently and make it happen. I think amongst a few of us riders, we can contribute the $$$ to make it happen but we need this committed volunteer (preferably with some connections to the apparel industries) to do it. Because we have only less than 2 months, tops/max 2.5 months from now to have this “T-Shirt” in our hands to wear!! Tough but I believe it’s a rewarding challenge and fulfilling.
With this note, may whoever has the capacities and the committment to rise up to these volunteers’ works and challenges, step forward and be known. If you prefer to keep it low profile (and keep the matter away from the lime-light), we too, will respect and accept your wishes. Thank you.

To trainers,
Sorry for being a road idiot. Can help to post a map indicating the location of the training meeting points. I can’t find “McDonalds near Pasir Ris Carpark C”. Is it the “Pasir Ris Park Carpark C” at Pasir Ris Green or is it the McDonalds at White Sands Shopping mall (Pasir Ris MRT)? They are quite far apart.
Jonathan #27,
Have checked with DouglasC already.
Location of his training rides meeting point is:
McDonald’s Pasir Ris Sports Complex,
No 120 Pasir Ris Central,
#01-02 Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre,
S(519640).
All other riders, please take note. Thank you!
Hi
