the winds the past few days have been unforgiving. every pedal stroke we push is the accumulation of the past 2 weeks of riding, and none of us are as fresh or as strong as we were at the start and the the fatigue starts to bite. and yet the thought of home, the thought of clean, warm beds after 2 weeks of sometimes extremely dodgy hotels pushes the worst of us ahead. just as the hill up ahead seems abit too steep, a hand comes along to push us up the hill. just as the winds appear too strong, someone comes in to block it off. that's what it's all about. allez team, allez.

Why are we doing this?
The objective of this expedition is to lead a team of 13 varsity students who will cycle a distance of over 1500km in 14 days along the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia and past the border of Thailand up to Phuket. The route will take us through over 20 towns, numerous major states in Malaysia and Thailand.
With such a huge distance, this expedition is certainly a huge challenge and test of our personal mental and physical limits. At the end of this trip, we hope that we will not only emerge as stronger individuals, but also as individuals with a heart to help and impact the world that we live in.
Besides our desire to help the children of ST pocket Money Fund, this expedition is in a way an opportunity to live our personal dreams and passions. We feel that combining our personal dreams and passions with community work is a more sustainable way of contributing back. With this expedition, we hope to reach out to other youths and inspire them; that in addition to living our (their) dream, we (they) can help the less privileged achieve theirs as well. This we hope, will leave an impact beyond that of our expedition.

the winds the past few days have been unforgiving.
every pedal stroke we push is the accumulation of the past 2 weeks of riding, and none of us are as fresh or as strong as we were at the start and the the fatigue starts to bite.
and yet the thought of home, the thought of clean, warm beds after 2 weeks of sometimes extremely dodgy hotels pushes the worst of us ahead.
just as the hill up ahead seems abit too steep, a hand comes along to push us up the hill.
just as the winds appear too strong, someone comes in to block it off.
that's what it's all about.
allez team, allez.
