Singapore 09 National BikeTrial Championship - Round 3

It has been a while since I updated this blog. I have not been going hashing with the geeks for a long time now. The main reason is that I have been concentrating on BikeTrial and training a lot.

Learning is slow and requires a lot of focus... LOL. Most of my blog updates are focused on BikeTrials and I keep track of my progress at the other blog... Heheh. Anyway, recently I went to Singapore for a BikeTrial competition and here is a brief report.

The Round 3 of the Singapore 2009 National BikeTrial Championship was held in Bukit Batok Town Park on Oct 4th. I was there to capture the event on photos and videos.

For this round, a couple of things stand out and affected the overall competition; the format and the sections layout.

Elmina - 18 and 19 July Ride

Geeks,

We have recently re-visited Elmina 3 times within last 2 months.
Seems like the place is "accessible" again. So far, has not been
chased off by Slime Darby. But we do avoid the main gantry where
estate manager stays.

Please ride in a large group (min 5) if you choose to go. We
encountered a few fellars (looked like gang members) during one
of the rides.

By avoiding the main gantry, the ride was fun too. But plenty of
hills climbs. I believe we did about 20KM.

Here is the best picture taken.
