NATIONAL RUNWAY CYCLING AND SKATING 2008

Hi Cycling Kakis

May 25 was the annual National Runway Cycling and Skating 2008, held at Paya Lebar Air Base.

7 die hard participants from SHC signed up and completed the 15km leisure ride at the air base. The magnificent 7 started the day at 6am, was at the airbase gate for security clearance by 7am and the event proper kicks off around 8.15am.

The runway cycling was crowded, the weather was fine and hot. After completing the ride around the airbase, we joined in the carnival, make some purchases and left the airbase around 11am.

Boon Liang, could you send some fotos for us to download so that members could view the events held at the airbase 

For next year, we would like to see more participants from SHC

Until than, Cheers

Have passport will ride, Sat 12 April 2008- UPDATE

Hi Terence and all bike lovers,

There are some  bike lovers from SHC who feel cycling once a month is not enough. To these group of bike lovers, how about cycling from Tg Pengarang to Kg Sungei Rengit.  emoticonThis route will brings us back to nostalgic era of 1960s Singapore. emoticon     It could be an unforgettable and a memorable ride for some of us. The trill and joy will be rewarded at journey’s end.  The atmosphere will always be remembered for a long time.  The return journey is about 36km,  emoticon  a distance slightly less than from McDonald @ECP to Changi Village and back.

Upon arrival at Sungei Rengit, we may have seafood for lunch, walk around the town, maybe buy some dry seafood products or freshly baked tau sar piah.  emoticon   Sungei Rengit to Dasaru is but a short distance. emoticon
