It’s been a long couple of bouts with the flu, right through my most intense teaching period. And I’ve finally just about recovered so I am off to join some kakis to ride to Changi for breakfast.
The ride from the Holland Village start point is about 33km one way. If we take it easy like we plan to, we should be there in 2 hours. So breakfast at 8.30am.
One part of the route I did refresh my memory about is the Yio Chu Kang to Tampines Road route. My route goes through the Rosyth Road residential area and its: Yio Chu Kang -> Chuan Hoe Ave -> Parry Ave -> Sandilands Road -> Glasgow Road -> Flower Road -> Upper Serangoon Road -> Tampines Road.
This spits us out early enough to do safe filtering through a gap in traffic across an otherwise fast road.
I am meeting with three others in HV (with one one coming from Tampines), we’ll pick one up along Bishan Road (she’s coming from Potong Pasir) and another along Tampines Road (he’s comng from Sengkang). Well provided everyone has woken up!
We are leaving late today, at 6.30am. So now its time to pump tyres, check my bike and gear and shower…
