..... I cycled 122kms in 4 hours 11:28, a 'round the island' tour of Singapore . Absolutely shagged by the end, average speed 29.1 kms/hour. My legs gave way at 102kms and I got dropped by the other 8 lads I was with, with my neighbour noblely staying behind to ensure I made it home. My legs were totally shredded afterwards and after a shower and a bite to eat I went to back to bed... at midday!

Its a great sport cycling, but I've done and thats it, never again!

I'm off skiing in march, it's a better sport than cycling!

I can tell singapore is a wonderful place to cycle though

Skiing kills your legs, I don't do it enough to develop any sort of resistance to the fatigue that skiing brings. Love it though.

Agree skiing kills your legs, sadly it doesn't snow in Singapore - nor do we have mountains!

I'll be in Singapore in a few months on a business trip. Probably combine the trip with a visit to Shanghai also.

That's no easy feat (122Km) at all Reg, especially for a fella of your age    so....

Well done!

You did 122 km in the tropics after nearly being cleaned up by a truck not so long.............Respect you crazy old bugger

Yeah bet the humidity is a killer there.

It was 95% here the other week at 33C. Could hardly breathe when taking a not so brisk walk.

The sweat comes off in a steady stream, I drank 4 litres of fluid before, during and until my first drink when I got back and staggered into the kitchen. Its tough training in these conditions but very rewarding, when I finished, my pulse and breathing returned to normal within a minute etc... As you say, I'm no youngster but its all an investment for the future. You young whippa snappers should take note and look after yourselves better.

SCS - let me know when you're coming mate and I'll get Maxypaxy to come out for a pint.
MH... come on mate, come back and visit us!

Hey Reggy, I maybe stopping in Singapore on the way through to England in the summer - wanna catch up for a pint in the airport. 

Actually, it maybe Hong Kong.

Good idea son, you come to Singapore then me, Maxy and Maguskwt will come to the airport and take turns to give you a slap.     

Oh yes, I forgot you were a bum chum of tampax.

I'll give that a miss thanks.
