Changi "guns have fallen silent" ride

The 25 friends I met today...at ECP F3 carpark 

26 friends met at ECP F3 carpark at 0730. Many fresh faces, like Lee, Diane, Erwin, Craig, Ryan, Vince, James, Henry and quite a few I can't  remember.
To start, the Man of the Day goes to Andy who rode all the way from Bishan, Carrying 12 packet of soya bean drink and sandwiches! To add to the story, he even made his very own sweeper vest with lovecycling.sg and matching tee!  Thanks Andy for ur tireless efforts and making our rides that much safer!

Andy, sweeper, a very very good one!

Our friend brought it all the way from Bishan!

The ride along ECP coastal PCN was calm and relaxing. The pace was slow to allow everyone to ride in formation and it was quite a sight.. many passerby turned and looked. Some waved and I am sure some wished they were on bikes... because it all look so fun. It really was! Pics of the ride will be up later as this ride I was really concentrating on managing the group and making sure our safety is not compromised.

Form up and ready to roll.

Boo, Diane and Erwin

Diane.. after the steep slopes, jumps for joy!...cuz its now downslope

Lee and Francis thumbs up at Changi village

We reached Changi village in no time and there was a quite a few group of riders there.. having their meals and waiting for the ferrry to Pulau ubin. We also saw a cool character by the name of KC. He rides a recumbent which is 20+ years. The bike and him is still going strong....keep rolling, Sir!

Having our tummies filled with gorgeous Nasi lemak, carrot cake and other yummies. We headed towards old changi hospital. There was a series of hills which challenged some riders but they eventually reached. The area was cordoned off but it still looks abit scary.. but we did not see anything.. I guess the "thing" must have run away when 26 of us rode up.. yelling, laughing and cursing(why did Taiwoon bring me here..)  

Then we had rolled on to the Monster Guns which was semi completed.. with a new bistro in renovation, aptly named Bunker.

Changi Chapel was another memorable experience. It is a simple chapel and full of narratives of the suffering the POWs had to endure. There was no photography allowed, u just have to take my word for it that it is a good visit.

Lovely ride with great people, what more can u ask for? 

more photos here and Zillon thanks to Matt, Francis for photos and Eddie on the Video!
