Woke up at 5:45am today for my second 2-hour training ride in consecutive days. Today's destination was Mount Faber, where im there to see what singapore's highest elevation got to offer and also to practise my climbing. On the way, South Buona Visa Road offered 2km plus of gradual climbing too. Climbed the back of Faber twice before moving on to scale the front of it, which is notably steeper. It's a climbing day.
In the 3 Faber climbs I found out my weakness. It's nothing to do with my climbing ( at least i overtook a few fellow cyclists on the way up), but it was actually my descending. When descending, those in front of me were long gone right thru the corners while those behind me were closing in on me, waiting to overtake. And the cause of it is my slow, no confidence cornering. No worries, I'll be back there on sunday hone my skills!
