My parents are going for the 15km runway cycling this coming 3rd Jun. boooo…I also wan go! But 3rd Jun being a Sunday, there’s bound to be training. I could make it in time since the event flags off at 8am but the real problem is fitting 3 big bicycles in the car. I wonder how we managed to fit 5 bicycles in the car last time. But that was long long time ago when we were small and our bikes were small too.

We could cycle on sat nite to the paya lebar airbase and camp there overnight before the event starts the next morn, that would be quite cool! But nah, my parents would never agree to that. Argh, spoil the fun.

It has been a long time since we went for runway cycling. The last time we went was in 2003 when I was in sec 4. That time onli my dad, bro and me went. But we used to go runway cycling as a whole family together with my dad’s friend’s family. I think the last time we did that was in 1999 when I was pri 6. That time my mum went with my bro on the leisure fun cycle 6km route and she had a fall, coz my bro was cycling quite slowly which was ok since he was onli pri 1, but tink somebody from behind wanted to overtake them and then they collided. Since then my mum kinda feared cycling but she picked it up again this year.

That particular runway cycling in 1999 was fun too coz my dad was accompanying my younger sis and my dad’s friend was accompanying his daughter and wife, so they let me and my dad’s friend’s son cycle by ourselves. When we finished the 12km route, we didn’t see many people so we thought we were supposed to go another round and so we did. So we cycled 24km in total and got scolded when we finished coz I think we were supposed to go and collect goodie bags, that’s why they let us cycle off first, but in the end we came back even later then them.
