I have experienced only once so far riding with a partner and will get the rest of the riding crew to join me in the training stint. Most of them are doing their own personal training (i hope so) and because they are not based in Malacca, we hardly get a chance to train together. Unfortunately, I already had a few volunteers who pulled out due to injury etc etc. Hopefully by June, I will still get other volunteers but no matter what the circumstances are, the show must go on. 

Guess what! For the very first time I had someone to accompany me in training. Ah Seng and I went to Muar (40+km away from Malacca) and both of us got stuck in a heavy rain (my first experience, too) on the way there. We left Malacca at 8am and back by 5pm. It was a good experience and we really had a great time.  We took turn riding the trishaw at every 40 minutes each interval.
