We did a group ride into Johor State in Malaysia, just 90+km return trip, some climbing, tougher than a rather flat Singapore ride. Didn't sprint all the way with the head of the group, but gave myself a good pace to follow. It was hard though, but I can see my fitness returning slowly. I think I will do these across-the-border rides more often. The ride took us forever though, because we had inexperienced riders in the group and had to take lots of stops to wait for them to catch up and make sure they didn't get lost. Also go caught in a massive thunderstorm about 20km from home, and since there was an immigration checkpoint, heavy traffic and all between that, we stopped to wait it out. All in all, a good ride, felt good, and motivating.
