We met at the Singapore botanical garden main entrance on sunday. Riding today was Francis, Sharon,Tah ching, Sitoh, Yoon Jung, Amy, Thomas, Rodney and myself. A motley of MTB, old school bike with basket, Flamingos, JZ88 and Char par lan MTB was used.
The ride to Dempsey area was pretty straight forward and roamed around for a bit.. then headed to Margret drive for SG old style breakfast. This was the place where I used to eat as Temasek poly was located at Stirling Road. We explored around the area and TC told me that he grew up at Queens way as a boy. That was the "Duxton Pinnacle" then.. compared to the old kampongs. We rolled slowly to Leng kee where all the car show room and explored Tiong baru. Once again we stopped at the super iconic hairdresser signage to take a photo for oldtimes sake. It is strange.. we were there not too long ago, but something just pulled us here. To make things more challenging, Thomas bike did a murphy on him.. his tyre was losing air after all the jumps and aerobatics. We rushed to one shop after another one.. only to find them closed. When murphy likes u.. he really likes u.
Finally we reached Treknology and got the flat fixed.. I think the most siong ride for Thomas. :) We spilt with the main group at Orchard and made our way back.. on two wheels. Riding along mostly PCN.. it took us about 1.5 hrs to reach Punggol. Total mileage - 50 Km. Nice and well done Sitoh!
Live to ride, ride to eat!
