As you might've guessed, I was dropped not too long after starting out from Long House. My wonderfully patient hubs stuck with me the whole way. At some small slopes, I was really struggling,.... my legs just wouldn't move anymore. I think it was a combination of being tired from Thursday's ride and also from being all tense with going clipless. It was a lot more stressful today as there were far more cars and traffic lights, and I didn't click on as well as I did on Thurs. I also had a small fall at one of the traffic lights cos I was so tired that I couldn't push off adequately. Luckily there weren't many cars around.
Andrew also gave me a quick lesson on how to click on and off a little more smoothly. It all made a lot of sense,..... but execution was quite another thing! I think I need practice..... Thanks for the tips Andrew!
At the end of the ride, we all stopped at a coffee shop around Binjai for a drink and some much enjoyed idle chit chat. Check out all the nice bikes parked!!!
I think I am liking cycling and really can't wait for it to be less painful cos there are parts that are really fun! Hopefully with more mileage in, and more practice going clipless, my stamina and speed will improve.... Over and OUT!

Good that you're enjoying it peng! Dun worry, riding is the same as running...the more u ride, the better you'll get..very simple :) unlike swimming where its technique more than anything else... :)
