  30. Hi Nor,

    I’m first time joining but not first time cycling, though long time didn’t cycle. If can’t balance, then i’ll just cling on to u lah..
    Tks for your concern and enthusiasm.

    mollie

  31. Aye Nor, you sure or not, you tai-tai leh… how to ask you to clean my place? sekali I need to compensate your beautiful hands..sudah lah, no need to help, you still can makan my tarts & cookies lah, bagus?

    Nor, you bagus at promoting ya? Next time, we will vote you to be SHC embassadress, ok..he.he….

  32. Hi Mollie,

    Unfortunately Molly can’t join in cycling this round, if not, am sure you’ll be delighted to know her…

    Wow, now there are 2 mollies, 2 Graces, 3 Susans, 3 Chris, many Linas & Rons & a few Marys & Dennis ya…. this shows that SHC is growing fast. :)

  33. Hello Norlinda kawan,

    Comment #10 refers. Thank you for your generous offer. I almost couldn’t resist. After cycling, I don’t need a bath. Wait! But a BUBBLE bath, heehee. That will take at least an hour. Thereafter soaking & dozing off in the foam, that’s another ?? heavens know. Then makeover another… Alamak, by the time ready for dinner, it’s breakfast next morning already lah! So, still have to give cycling a miss this time. Will catch up with all you kakis another day. Have fun!

  34. Hi Mollie,

    Welcome to the cycling group. I am the other Molly. Hope to meet you on the next cycling event. You will definitely enjoy yrself with the rest of the group. Have fun tis sat.

  35. Hi Yew Kwong:

    Pls include me. Thanks!

    Suzhang:

    Why so kangkor leh? I think you should take up Nor’s offer if time is so tight for you. Nor will be happy with a few more tarts. Hehe

    Lina Ng:

    Remember hor this is cycling, not driving car. Not too fast hor!

    Ah Nee & Veronique:

    Possible to cycle to Pasir Ris? Enough time? Or as far as we can go?

    To all the new kakis: have a great time with us!

    To Molly, Suzhang, Gingko, Dolly, Dennis and Bira: see you at the next session!

    By the way, where’s Ronald Lee? Ronald where are you?

  36. Hi John,

    I know lah! I will try and cycle behind you. Is that good enough? But if you are so slow, then I have no choice but to overtake you, OK.

    Hi Suzhang,

    Where got so many Lina’s. Only 3: Lina Tan, Lina Ho and Lina Ng. Happy tart making.

  37. Hi John & Lina

    I really envy you guys leh… got time off to go cycling. Ha..ha.. Lina, you need to take care of John how? John, am sure you can’t catch up with Lina….she is fast in car & bike lah.

    Oops, my mistake then… 3 Linas & 4 Susans now….he.he..

    Lina, it’s your fist time with the group, so enjoy ya… but pls don’t go too fast hor, if not poor John can’t catch up….I suggest you both use a bicycle for 2 so both of you can be same speed…ha..ha…

    Cheers,
    Suzhang

  38. Hello hello John Howe & Lina Ng,

    John, I heard the Ministry of National Development (NPB) is going to connect East Coast Park to Pasir Ris Park…so why not, it is possible to cycle from East Coast to Pasir Ris, once it is ready!!!

    Lina, Sat cycling hor, remember to follow me, then John will have no choice but to catch up with you…. John, don’t panic huh, you sure can make it to the end of NSRCC. :)

    Ah Nee

  39. Ah Nee

    Yes, it’s agreat idea to cycle from east to west… but don’t forget that that you’d have to cycle back to return the bike!

    So, unless you have an arrangement with the bike shop, that’ll be twice the distance. Make sure you got CPR training and ambulance alongside.

  40. Kenneth,

    From the East Coast park MacDonald bicycle kiosk to the end NSRCC, takes about 45 mins to 1 hr (on average speed). Then back to bicycle kiosk another 1 hr, sometimes we didn’t return the bicycle and continue to cycle to the end of Fort Rd and back to bicycle kiosk…wow! all in all takes about 2 1/2 hrs lor..really good work out for all. Why not you join us this sat, guarantee you will look fit and younger after that….he…he…he….. :)

    Ah Nee

  41. Ha..ha…ha… so Kenneth is a “Pig”, come lei…don’t be lazy, join us for cycling this sat. Btw you are our senior, how come we give you “ang pow” huh? You should be giving us “ang pow” after the exchanging of 2 mandarin oranges mah.

    Ah Nee

  42. Hi Kenneth #39,

    We are as fit as a fiddle. No need for ambulance lah! It is only cycling not running a marathon. Sitting on our backsides all the time!

  43. Hi Suzhang, John,

    If you make less tarts, I am sure you can join us cycling. Just reduce your container size, then you don’t have to make so many.

    Have not cycled with you before so am really looking forward to it. So, must wait for next month? I don’t want to share a bicycle with John ‘cos he will annoy me by asking me to slow down!

    Don’t worry, I will ride with care.

  45. Lina,
    I wish I could…but I don’t know how to reduce leh, as I go according to receipe. Unlike my late mum, you ask her everything also agar-agar…he..he..

    Yeap, me too.. am looking forward to go cycling with you next month. See you when I see you. :)

    Cheers,

    Susan

  46. Hi all
    The park connector from ECPark to P.Ris is actually connected but there are certain points/junction where u have to push ur bic across the road.
    I had always wanted to join this cycling event,This will be my first time and I hope very much to make it.

  48. Hi Norlinda,

    Will take yr advice and join the ‘L’ plates. Only hope tak putus or bengkok tulang kalau jatuh as it’s been ages since I cycle, but will go man man as you said. Wat matters most is having fun with all of you. Looking fwd to see u all! Lisa

  50. Hi Lina,

    Think if you share bike with John he will have to close his eyes all the way and keep checking his heart beat. Anyway have fun and take care.

    John – Think it is safer for you to drive on your own. Hope to see you next month.

    Nor & Nee – Look after one another in front and behind. Will cycle with you to NSRCC next month. Hope got no other commitments.

    Have fun gals and guys.

    Molly

  51. Hahaha!

    I hope you mean riding a tandem bike with John… Just put him in front then he wouldn’t have to check his heart rate but keep his eyes open!

    Nor and Nee – Who’s cycling in front and behind?? Are you two also on a tandem??

    And, Lisa Ong@48, “putus” or “bengkok” is not the problem. It is “patah” tulang that I’m afraid of. And also “bokok” kepala!

    If the sun is shining and my weak knees hold, I hope to see you guys this Saturday.

  52. Hi Molly,

    Thanks for your advice. Look forward to riding with you and Susan next month. Definitely better for John to ride on his own, then he can do whatever he wants.

    Hi Kenneth,

    I think riding tandem is no fun if it is over a long distance. Put on your knee guard and come join us.

  53. Hi Chan,

    Refer to #46. Tell me more, tell me more abt the park connector from ECPark to Pasir Ris Park. Nxt tym wen tir is cycling event at EC, i can try 2 cycle tir.

    Cheers, Dennis

  54. hello DennisW,
    i try to answer your question #53. The park connector links all the way from ECPark to Pasir Ris. Just follow the directions , usually a signage post but more often painted on the cycling path itself. There is a brochure available for all the connectors in Singapore. I got mine from Botanical Gardens park office. The better part for cycling & walking will be from Kemangan mrt to Bedok Reservoir or from Kemangan mrt to ECPark. These two stretches are easy to follow as they run next to a large canal. You can’t miss it, plenty of clear directions along the way.

  56. Hi Dennis

    Douglas Chan was cycling with us at the ECP yesterday and we came to a point where he pointed to us the connector that leads all the way to as far as Changi Beach/Pasir Ris. Nor and myself were so excited that we are planning for a day to explore this track together with Douglas to meet you at Pasir Ris. Heehee!

    Douglas,
    Remember your promise, set a date and we will meet you at ECP early in the day to set off our journey.

    Dennis Wee, cya!

  57. Hello Charles,

    Can get the park connector brochure for us? Think it will be very useful as a guide.

    Wei wei, cycling buddies, I want to join you all to explore the new connecting track to Changi point and Pasir Ris leh. Wow! more like a marathon….think its take about 4 hours thru and fro. Douglas, Rene, Nor & myself…Joyce, Yew Kwong, John, Lina, Veronique, Daisy, Dan, Molly, Andrew, Jimmy & Sally….coming along?
