15 September 2009 - Riding roads ride...

[scubasimon]

Date: 15 September (Tuesday)

Time: 10:20pm

Meet: Esso station (553 Upper Thomson Road)

 

Ride details

There are a number of roads in Singapore that make for great riding. This is a ride where we string together some of these roads in a 1.5hr ride (because folks may need to wake up early for work). So we will leave Esso at 10:30pm and finish the ride by 12am...if anyone wants supper we will adjourn to a makan place after the ride is completed.

 

Please note that I will NOT be making any stops along the way so please fill up before we start off. This is the only way to complete the route for people who need to restrict it to 1.5hrs. Those needing to break off are welcome to break off. Please let me know ahead of time so I know you're not lost

 

Route will take us to the following roads:

Old Upper Thomson Road

Kheam Hock Road

Portsdown Road

South Buona Vista Road

Mount Faber

Kampung Bahru Road

Jervois Road

Orange Grove Road

Gymkhana Road

Sin Min Drive

 

Join up!

haha, the last trip to JB for seafood already salivate at his monster and the food liao...

[scubasimon]

sorry folks. i have teleconferences that is scheduled to end at 10pm (but normally drags for 10-15mins) that is why i cannot make it earlier.

 

best though is for you to let me know what time you want to break off from the ride and get home. that way it is easier to plan.

[thenation]

Haha thanks, ahcai and shuno. Tissues? My bike isn't that nice lah...needs several grand splashed out on it before its really up to standard...

we won't even hit 90kph. 60-70kph is the speed for the route as we're not taking any expressways. some roads may skip based on time requirements.

 

cannot do malaysia with only 1.5hrs dear. also need to have a route that goes up north or far west (e.g. woodlands, lim chu kang, tuas) else will be a long detour. i will do a malaysia one soon but will be a long ride with stops. be prepared for 3-4hours in total.
