Green Corridor Partial (Part 2)

 Behind Cold Storage Jelita

Oops...I did it again! 

After one week from the last Green Corridor Ride, I have this nagging voice in my head that says "Finish it off!" So I did...or should I say I attempted to. What does it mean?

Okay, I ATTEMPTED to finish the Southward Bound Trail. But I have to stop midway to turn back. All thanks to the Weather Alert Apps on my iPhone. Which the storm did came only after 2hrs after the ride.

Somewhere near Science Park (Midway Shot)

One thing I must really say is it is a haven within the mad traffic rush. I could zip from Bukit Timah to Buona Vista within 20mins on my bike in the traffic and imagine if you work in places like Fusionopolis or Biopolis. This is probably a mad traffic rush solution for some who loves to have a morning workout. 20mins from Bukit Timah to Office. How cool is that?

The trail is extremely ride-able and you get to see the natural scenery and also local landscape from another angle. The whole ride (to and fro) took me about 1hr 15mins plus some photo taking.

I will be attempting the south bound route one more time just to satisfy my self-gratifying ego...hahaha...perhaps more like that nagging voice that will  probably hit me in the head again.

Fat Tyre Romance

Well, this is going to be short. It has been some time since our last outing on the Sirius. I decided that we should do a ride on a Sunday and we did. We googled around for some of the available Park Connectors near our place and we zeroed in to one that seems to be near our place.

Took us some time to get ready and when we finally did...we zip out from the main gate of our place and off we go. To cut the story short, we actually did not make it. Only managed to go to Seletar Reservoir which we always pass by during our road riding days.

After zooming around the little place and of course some photo taking. Just realized that such little Fat Tyre Riding can be fun and romantic. A great sunset ride on Sunday to start the week!

Green Corridor Partial

Decided to do a morning to noon right yesterday. I have walked this section of the Green Corridor about a year ago. That was a night walk and I can barely remember what happen as it is a group walk and seriously what can you see at night.

So, after much thoughts decided on going to try it out in the day and do it on my trusted Steed. The Pipedream Scion responded very well on this trail and I cannot really ask for more. The first section was typical a open flowing singletrack like trail with a little bit of bums here and there which makes the ride fun for those who like a bit of hopping around. What happen next is chance for you to have a top view of the road access to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. You just stand right on top of the bridge and have a top view of everything down on the road. Watch out for the rocky sliding session on the bridge and the remain track as a reminder of what it used to be.

To cut it short, I managed to get my exit at the Rail Mall near to the Hillview and Chestnut Drive Estate and link my way back to the Bukit Timah Mountain Bike Trail and zip my way back to Rifle Range right before the end of Noon Time.

I would simply says that it is a good lunch time work out with fair bit of sun and scenery. Of course, a trusted steed makes a good companion that makes the ride sweeter.

Phat Tyre Weekend

While I will be away in Langkawi attempting my first Ironman....

....Singapore has another celebration and party....

Nighty Night??? Booo!!!

Went out on Sunday for the notorious Sunday Night Ride! And yes, Night Offroad Ride. Really Cool that night but of course the humidity is insane. Sweating all over the of course the 7th Month Joss Sticks and Papers that burns becomes the backdrop of the entrance. Choking but manageable.

Verdict for this ride? Fun? Sleeps are for the weak!
