Hi All

Remember we once had a pot-luck cum cycling at the Changi Beach Park 2 years ago?
If you forget, here’s the SHC page link for your revisit :
https://silverhairsclub.com/?p=3836

We had a lot of fun and LOTS of food then. Want to have another round of such fun? This pot-luck will tie in with our last Monthly Cycling for this year 2013. We will resume cycling again after Chinese New Year 2014.

For those who can’t cycle, you can skate. If you can’t do both — then just come and join in the fun in eating, chit-chatting catching up with old and new friends….. or swim.!! :)

The park is serene and much less crowded than ECP.

?Parking is free after 5pm and the nearest parking is : Carpark 1 although Carpark 2 is also very near.
?There is a clean and airy public toilet (with shower cubicles) at the same location.

Buses that stop right outside the park along Nicoll Drive bus stop B10) :
?# 9 – from Bedok Interchange
?#19 – from Tampines Interchange
?#89 – from Hougang Central Interchange

Buses to Changi Village Terminal (a short walk to the park along waterfront) :
?# 2 – from New Bridge Road Terminal
?#29 – from Tampines Interchange
?#59 – from Bishan Interchange
?#109 – from Serangoon Interchange

For information on bike or skate rental, you may enquire at :
http://www.lifestylerecreation.com.sg/

Please register here and indicate type of food you are bringing so we have an idea.

Looking forward to meeting you folks soon.

Ah Nee – with apologies as she unable to join this round

Hi
Anyone interested to cycle from Choa Chu Kang Brickland Road all the way to West Coast Park?
NParks had just opened up the newly constructed PCN link bridge from International Business Park to Pandan Gardens.
This created a link across the highway joining Bukit Batok and Clementi PCN to West Coast PCN.

I only cycle on Sat mornings from 7:00 am when weather permits. I will be frequenting this route in Sept 2013.
A note on this. The total distance is 28 KM to and back. You need fairly good speed gears to climb the slope.

If you need someone to guide you to , I can help.

This Saturday, the professional cyclists will be cycling from Queenstown starting at 6.30am ending at the Marina Barrage at 9am and they had invited us to join them. We, the leisure cyclists will start our journey from Kallang Stadium to meet them at the Marina Barrage thereby cutting two-third of the distance. If you are keen to join us for the leisurely cycling, please register here.

* Meeting place : Jalan Benaan Kapal hawker centre (free parking)

* Time : 8.00am

* Cycling route : via Tanjong Rhu Bridge -> Geylang Park Connector (along the Kallang River).

* Guarantee very scenic (bring your camera).

At the end of cycling, we will decide where to have lunch.

Our own SHC Cycling T-Shirt is finally here……for the 128km RIR EC Event.

 

Hi All,

This is an interest check to see if any riders are keen to participate in the LCSG 128km Round Island Ride on 05May2013.

Preliminary Details of this LCSG 128km Round Island Ride can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t829-5th-may-2013-remembering-paul-lim-128-ride

The previous requisite or requirements and rules for participation in the last year’s LCSG 128km Round Island Ride can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t722-lcsg-128nri-qualifying-training-rides

Additional Details about last year’s actual LCSG 128km Round Island Ride if interesting for you to read/know can be found here:

http://www.lovecyclingsg.com/t710-22nd-sept-2012-lcsg-night-128-ride-closed

We are planning to send ONE TEAM (or TWO TEAMS if there are more riders) from SHC to participate in this 05May2013 LCSG 128km Round Island Ride.

The following SHCians have graciously agreed to be our trainers, to prepare our SHC Team of Riders for this event. They are:

1. Andrew Thio (available for training rides on Wednesdays = OK, Mondays and Fridays = May Be)
2. Douglas Chan (available for training rides on Saturdays = OK, Sundays = PM only)
3. Loh Yew Kwong (available for training rides on Sundays = OK)

A training schedule planning is in the pipeline but will most probably starts on week 06/52.

As for training routes, we will keep to the same routes/circuit for the first few weeks. We can gradually increase the numbers of loops round the same circuit to simulate the distance of 128km.

At the middle or later part of the training (perhaps in week 12/52), we will go riding on portions of the actual 128km route to get all the SHC participating riders to be familiar with the 128km route.

Near the end of training (perhaps in week 16/52), we will ride the complete actual 128km route as a trial ride (but not for simulating the speed but to get a feel of the complete route in one go at slower pace to test stamina and endurance etc….)

Then we will have a break or cooling-down period (of about two weeks) to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the D-Day ride on week 19/52 i.e. 05May2013.

Lastly, please note that the LCSG 128km Round Island Rides are mainly on ROADS. So, you must be comfortable riding on roads. There are mandatory rules and safety considerations as well as qualifying rides to be met before you can ride on 05May2013. This is the reason why we have to be trained and have to be committed to the cause and to the SHC team as a whole.

NOTE: If you are keen but not sure if you can make it and would like to give your best shot, please raise your hands here too. Our trainers will put in their best foot forward and if, at the end of the day, you really cannot heck it (dropping out), we are OK (no problems!) with it. Because, at least, you have given it your best shot (and live with no regrets). That’s really good enough rewards for me and for the trainers.

If you have any queries whatsoever, please ask and we will try our best to give you an appropriate answer, pending more or firm details from Mr Tai Woon of LCSG Group.

Looking forward to see you step forward and raise your hands here. Thank you.

Regards,

Ivan Lim
