Lovecyclingsg visits the Sembawang hotspring 24April2022

After 2 years hiatus due to Covid measures, we finally restarted LCSG sunday rides. Well maybe not as regular but hopefully it can kickstart more folks to jio rides. We met at Khatib MRT and it was a nice healthy crowd (40).  Many new faces and also very heartening to see the regular ones coming back too. Some rode with LCSG since 10 years back. It was really nice to chat up with them and meet new ones.  I am sorry if I forgotten ur names and pls remind me when we meet again. 

The route was simple, tracing the PCN and abit of the pavement thru some really congested junctions.  The nice thing was everyone was really chilled and we had no issues clearing even the crowded places. In about 15 min of really slow cycling, we reached the Sembawang hotspring and many took their eggs, and boiled it using the hot spring water.  Brenda and her friend (Lynn?) was super serious doing up the eggs and offered some to the riders. Its so nice of u!  I took the chance to dip my feet on the water and chill with Francis. Its nice.Later on we visited the memorable Mee jiang Kway at Blk 313 Sembawang and some breakfast.  

Then headed towards the Sembawang park, with the really nice colonial black white houses. It was then, Mr Lim shared this was his training route and offer to bring us around... oh mannnn can he ride like the wind and it was a heart pounding bonus slope ride. Most amazingly he felt not warm up yet while we were all panting and sweating buckets.  What an cool demonstration of fitness, by a 82 year old senior!

As the stomaches were grumbling, we had a makan break before going to the hotspring. I was very happy to see folks trying out the hot water in amazement and chatting away like kids. 

Mr Loh really prepared with his barang

Mr Teo was not there but we met another uncle Lee who also frequent the place... and he stays at Yishun Blk 212. Come here every day to collect some spring water for his family. Thats 40 litres!!

What a smile!

Quite an experience. Even nicer, the LCSG team had a check on his bike and lubed the chain for him. That's was really a nice gesture!  

And I was lucky to have a ride on his bike! yes! 

Yes, there are gems if we look hard enough. Like this iconic place, the sembawang hotsprings. If u haven't been here... please do pop and see it. Bring ur kids to experience this very special place. Its near Gambas ave and Sembawang road. These are uniquely Singapore treasures that should be celebrated and remembered. Thanks for LCSG and Northern Star Angels for helping manage the huge crowd. Thank you for the efforts!
