 |
|
1045pm at sengkang compass point UOB.
We will try to leave by 1100 so those who need to buy drinks, pump tyres toilet break etc, please try to do it before 1100.
I will be on MTB, roadies are welcome if u dont mind waiting for the slower riders 
As usual, there is the usual siao kia chiongsters, and slow relak riders. So, dun worry about speed, stamina or what bikes u are on, just come.
dist - 120km
avg speed - Dont worry about that
Route:
This time we do reverse from last week
Sengkang, Hougang, Old Tampines Road, Pasir Ris, Changi Village, Coastal, East Coast Park, Fort Road, Nicholl Highway, Eaplanade, Shenton Way, Vivo City, West Coast Highway, Jalan Buroh, Lim Chu Kang, Neo Tiew, Kranji, Mandai, Yishun Dam, Seletar Camp, Jalan Kayu, Sengkang.
We will try to shorten our break time and HOPEFULLY this time can complete the 120km loop by 530 or 6am.
Items to bring:
Money
IC (Just in case police disturb)
Mobile Phone
Helmet (Important)
Lights
Spare tubes (Pls try to bring)
Pump (Just in case I lose mine before the ride or forget to bring)

Like what I said, there is a great difference between riding alone and riding in a group in terms of speed and the distance u can cover.
If u really cannot make it, there is always taxi everywhere in Singapre. |

Hi Joel
I was the one who spoke to you! I am the one who owns a foldable bike. I have another friend too, Choong, who also owns a foldable bike and we would like to register for this coming ride. We are also trying to get some of our kakis to participate.
Thanks a lot for organizing the ride!
Will sms you my contact no. as I don't feel comfortable posting this info publicly.
Thanks once again!

Hi Joel
I notice that the route takes us through two Highways namely Nicoll Highway and West Coast Highway.
I am concerned that it is illegal to cycle on both highways. The traffic on both highways is also expected to be pretty fast.
Appreciate your comments.
Thanks very much.

both are not expressways, so no issue. traffic would be light in the wee hours of the morning. |
