this is much tougher than ocbc cycling route 40km even if you do it 3 times

What can I say... All you Guys and Gals are AWESOME.... Despite not being a seasoned road rider and in long distance riding for most of you, I see excellent display of teamwork, comradeship, sheer determinations, tremendous endurance, these are the real factors that had brought you all from 0 to 128KM. Iron butt it may be, this ride has made you all riders with a "Never Say Die" attitude solid as iron. I Respect and Salute!

Strong leadership of the organiser couple with the hard works of the supporting team mates (Leaders, Sweepers and Others) are also the key to a successful event like this. Congratulations! I believe you folks deserve a round of applause and three cheers!!!

WELL DONE! Rest well, take good care and have a great week ahead..!!

Cheers!!!

This Iron Butt 128km not only just today, but weeks and weeks before. From Road Safety Briefing (was indeed very useful...I put into practice all that Steven had told us), this forum (from prep-list to what to drink and eat during the ride), Facebook wall (all the encouragements). After today, I really ride with confident and with speed. Thank you team! Good job!

Great teamwork and the encouragement among the peers. Feels proud to be riding alongside with my boy Marcus and indeed at his age, he surpass myself.

I totally agree with all the praises and commendations of TW and his team. Without them, we wouldn't have such a "good time" suffering. ;-)
One call out I would like to make is to TW's wife. I realized that without her support of TW's passion, again we wouldn't have had a chance to have such a good time. Thank you, Mrs Woon! (and also thank you Momo for sharing your papa with us!) Thank you for giving TW the opportunity to do all these crazy things, not just this weekend but all the other times he prepares and plan the rides. TW is extremely passionate about cycling (sometimes we force him to change topic of conversation!) and you have given him the freedom to share his unstoppable, infectious (as well as "poisonous") passion for cycling with us. Thank you! :-D

Superb organizing, great supporting crew and I had a great leader who didn't gave up on the team! The 2 safety riders with me were great and encouraging even when I hit my fatigue point. All this made it possible for many of us to break that 100km mark!

Had a blast. We need to do this again soon.

Thanks for taking me on board

putting aside all the positive feedback, perhaps our next ironbutt ride should look at having smaller groups which should be easier to manage for both leaders & sweepers. With a big group, the leaders and sweepers seem to be having a hard time communicating. Plus the line stretched pretty long and broke up couple of times especially when we are crossing the city and housing estates.

Given that all of us are now IronButters, we would now have a better gauge of our own capability, better estimate of our own pace and what you and your bike can do. Joining the wrong group is not only too challenging and u pan chek much earlier than u expected or u find it too relaxed if u joined a slower group.

Nuff said, well done and kudos to all involved in organising this event and congrats to all who made it back to ECP Macdonalds. Special thanks to Zack for leading the lambs, Mary for being the sweeper (though she's not always the last in the group :p) & steven tang for managing the traffic en route.

Knee pain, feel weak in the head after the ride, was so tired that in an tortoise attempt to ride to Mountbatten MRT to take train home, was overtaken by 2 aunties on rental bikes who said "wheel so small, no wonder so slow" BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT! Thank you organizers, thank you leads and sweepers esp GEORGE for pulling support trailer and thank you everyone for making it possible. Lets look forward to the next one!
