Sms from Doktor Squeaky bird Emril

"It was fun but tough.  No DNFS for the Joyriders. 

Stage 1 was gruelling.

Stage 2 Typhoon Sai Fong had a bad crash but managed to get back in one piece after the race.

Stage 3 was a bit relaxed Bergtor won the stage!  His finish line photo in JoyRider Jersey... No scared! Haha"

Anyway, well done to all JoyRiders participants! 

hi guys

I was leading the first 640 pack this morning and I very surprised that this has happened. At no times did I lead the pack to ride in an unsafe manner - we are going very steadily and I do not recall beating any red lights.

I thought today's pack was very well behaved, no attacking at the hills, no surging at the slopes and the pack even managed to regroup after climbs. And, everyone stopped and waited patiently behind vehicles at red lights. We dutifully go into a single file at roads that are narrow too. Yes we ARE safe riders. I am in front all the time, till somewhere along coastal.

Hence I am very very shocked to read about what happened. And I have to defend myself and my riders that we did not beat a red light this morning and we are safe riders. Throughout the ride, every time i turn back i see happy faces (ok or so i think! hahaha), so nope, I cannot accept such a sweeping allegation.

When I lead the ride, I lead the riders to safety.

I have nothing against Lawrence, am just defending this morning's ride only.

When the pack gets too long, perhaps thats what could have happened this morning. Maybe someone should just take the lead and form another pack for safety reasons especially at traffic lights concentration areas like Punggol and Pasir Ris.

Every rider has a part to play in safe riding so please remember to watch out, shout out and stay alert! Very very alert - for one down is one too many.

Ride safe...:)
