I left at around 8.30pm and had to rush to East Coast Park for Night Cycling organised by CDAC for volunteers. We met at East Coast Macdonalds and proceeded to the bicycle shop at around 10pm to collect our bikes. There were a total of 36 cyclist and we were divided into 6 ride group with each group having a ride leader. We set off at 11pm after checking our brakes, seat level, safetly blinking lights,etc. We had to wear a helmet which was quite uncomfortable throughout the whole journey. There were 2 safety vehicles for our cycling convoy. A car was in front and a lorry was at the back.The lorry was used to carry the bicycles of those who gave up halfway either because their legs were too tired or they can't keep their eyes open anymore. There were about 10 people who gave up halfway during the night cycling.

The whole cycling route was 43km and we rode from east coast park to indoor stadium, kallang river, esplanade, marina south, lau pa sat, alexandra rd, orchard rd, victoria street, kallang rd and stopped at CDAC because of the rain. That was bad news for me because my car was parked at east coast and I had to take a taxi to East Coast just to collect my car....
