Went recce for the coming overnight bike hike on 2-3 september organised by Alex. I'm super amazed by the stamina of the girls, instead I was whining throughout the journey I think. Maybe that's the way I motivate myself. Cycled from East Coast to Esplanade, to Tiong Bahru CC, then to Esplanade -.-", then to Railway Station Coffeeshop, then to Tiong Bahru CC again -.-"". Well thats the 20km route for the actual event. After that we chionged all the way from the CC through Chinatown to Bugis - Lavender and reached Eunos at around 3pm. Didn't think we could make it to Changi Village by 6, but we did in the end! If you think the road there is arduous enough, wait till u experience the airport runway path. Imagine when your legs can't pedal you any further, and cycling 20 mins along a stretch of flat road where the road never ends. Alex expected some freaking fierce dogs to surface at lamp post 75, but in the end it didn't.
I'm so glad I'm able to pull through this =) Lord gave me uphills to conquer and downhills to enjoy. He gave me the renewal of strength when I'm falling behind, and the motivation to piaaaa. At the end, he blessed us with a superb sunrise along the rocky east coast, and a wonderful sea breeze that blew us to sleep. Tired there but not tired here!
Isaiah 40:31
"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
