Dear SHC members,
Due to the current haze situation in SG, we have decided to freeze the scheduled monthly walks (dates as indicated below) so long the PSI is in the unhealthy zone.
fyi, schedule walk dates for the next 3 months are: 13Jul; 24Aug & 14Sep.
Even if the air gets a little better, it will be reviewed. Should the walk take off, you will hear from us nearer to the scheduled date.
Till then,,,,,,,
Be in good health!

During the earlier days of the SilverHairsClub, we had held a couple of BBQs at the East Coast Park. On some occasions, the event coincide with the cycling activity. On one occasion, it was a standalone late afternoon, and I remembered we almost had to beg the rain to stay up in the skies.
Perhaps, it is time to have another one. Here’s the map.
Let’s say:
We get the charcoal, the starters, the drinks, the water, the BBQ sauce, the plates, the fork and spoons, cups, ice, rubbish bags, the tissue paper from the shop, near Area C. We have a reasonable charge.
We book two pits from the National Park.
We get to park at carpark C1. There is an under pass to Marine Parade Promenade.
We get to swim, sun tan and laze around the greens. Show off our swimming gear, play netball or badminton. Or go cycling after the BBQ makan.
And, we have an afternoon BBQ, say 12nn to 1600 hrs.
And, everybody brings one pc of sausage, 200 grams of beef or a corb of jargon or one pc of chicken wings from their supermarket.
And, we clean up the place by 1600 hrs. We can also not clean the place up, and pay someone to clean it up behind us.
Date confirmed – Sat 18 May 2013 at BBQ pits C13 & C14.

Brief Description:
LET’s TREK WHERE FEW VENTURE!
The PipeLine Rambles are a series of 4 treks introduced in 2008. PLR 2 and PLR 3 are my favorite treks.
We did PLR 2 on 2nd August 2008, time to revisit this trek again! 
This interesting mini trek with lush greenery all the way is not “our norm walk in the park”.
The terrain is undulating, as we trek up & down slopes, the route is mostly off the beaten track.
The trail is exploratory and you can add some excitement if you so wish,
** get onto & walk on a large pipe OR
** slide down another OR
** test of strength…. challenge your HAND POWER, heave oneself up a 4-feet wall (if it is still there).
Let me assure you that the challenges are not as daunting as it seems; there are OPTIONS …. hehe
The walk shall end at the newly transformed lifestyle hub: The Grandstand where a variety of cuisine awaits!
IF you do not wish your legs to itch, come in long pants, longer socks & proper walking shoes!
Stay cool Be cool!

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:
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

Hi
This month’s cycling will be led by Ivan Lim and here are the details.
Timing :
Cycling route :
Total distance : about 19 to 20 km. (See link for route map.)
Those coming, please bring your smiles, hat, sunglasses, waterbottle, camera,
and a poncho in case of rain, etc.
Please Note :
As we will most likely to see night fall during our return route. Please
bring Front & Rear lights for your bike including the rental ones.
This will be our
last cycling event for this year. Next monthly cycling will be March
2013.
See you
there! Ivan
Lim
Those coming
:
Due to unforseen circumstances, we are not going to Bukit Batok Nature Reserve, the walk route has been
changed!
***** The route is not Changi Village or Changi Point! We go the opposite direction *****
Flat Roads, Shady Trees and Planes……… we shall tread and view!
Date : Saturday, 10th November, 2012
Time : 4.15pm "sharp" (2.5 to 3hours)
Meet/Start Place : Tampines Bus Interchange, BERTH 9, we shall board Bus Service# 19, together.
Getting There : Nearest MRT: Tampines MRT (EW2)
Makan place :
Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal "TMFT"- has a small cafe which serves simple fare** which are quite good.
Cafe must be informed earlier as they might not have enough food to feed us after 6pm.
End of walk : Tanah Merah MRT, EW 4. (vicinity no makan place)
EOs : Christina CL Chan & KC Lau.
Pause, pause……a moment, please….. Let’s enjoy some sea breeze and excellent views out to the sea!
We will walk along the coast / beach / shoreline where it is nice and breezy. The terrain is consistently
flat
with paved pathways most of the way. Trees provides some shade from the sun, thus, cooling in certain
areas.
We might have quite a view of aeroplanes that are taking off or landing at the nearby runway which is
almost parallel to our route.
If Weather, Tide & Time permits, we might bring you closer to the shoreline, where you can walk on a
secluded part of a white, sandy beach and perhaps walk on water to have fun with incoming waves, too.
So bring a towel.
We shall have a cool, refreshing drink as well as dinner at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal’s cafe.
It serves simple hot meals — fried noodles/hokkein mee/rice, zi char style. Their chicken rice is relatively
good but might be cold then at that late hour.
