Sure can catch up one lah, Mandai reads 'slow' for me.
Joyriders sound cool but the pack is abit too large (and probably too fast) for my liking man. Maybe during some special event hehe. Thanks for the invite btw.
Joyriders start as quite a large pack, but it will always break up into smaller packs based on speed; head pack will be fast, the others will vary, so you can always fit in somewhere. There is also a 'newbie' pack for every ride.
Looking at your avatar, you don't look slow
Anyway, what better way to increase mileage and speed than to ride in a group (or try keeping up with one)?

Today and tomorrow are for collecting your bib tag and goodie bag only. Collection of bike rental is on the actual day itself. Do go at least half an hour before your start off time to collect your bike

Is it? The instructions and manual didn't say this leh? Then why the hell they talk about free "overnight storage" if we are only collecting on Sunday anyway?Today and tomorrow are for collecting your bib tag and goodie bag only.

Walao second disappointment from them in a row. Just received an email saying their mechanise delivery was delayed so have to collect on race day too. Not even sure if I can wear the stuff I bought for the event liao.

Usually, bike rentals are collection on the day itself. Been to two ocbc cycle events and it's the same for me. For bike overnight storage, I think this is for personal bike only. If you want to clarify, you should call them and ask. So far, it is straight forward for me.

Err.. why not?
Thought there was no bike rental service last year? That was why I did not participate then.
Anyway too late to make much of a difference now. Will just go down tomorrow lah.

Oh sorry. Misunderstood you as asking whether you can wear other types of jerseys and stuff. So you have to buy the OCBC wear or something?
No lah its optional. But I bought their cycling shorts with the plan to wear it with the jersey mah. If they cant gimme my shorts before the race, I might as well wear my own and dunt buy.
Sigh...

There's bike rental. Just that you have tick on the bike rental option and pay the extra fee for the bike rental. Collected my bib number and dry-fit t-shirt at 6:30pm just now, not much goodies this year though.
wat catagory are u in? unfortunately i broken my arm last week and i want take my goodie bag today.. so the cycling jersey is only after the race is finished??:think::bigeyes:
There was bike rental last year? Wah then I must damn blur loh. Didn't see the rental service in their website do didn't go.
Anyway how come u get t-shirt. You didn't sign up 40km ah?
Cycling jersey should be given out with the race pack lah.
Wah another poor fella with broken limbs. I have to help my friend collect his pack because he broke his leg!
Last year missed due to getting my bike. now make my bike swee swee liao than broken my arm due to accident while cycling and been 1 week already, havent see the damage of my bike
