Dear cycling kakis

Rene and I intend to explore the park connectors beginning from Tanah Merah/Bedok area to Pasir Ris PK. This is an extension to the monthly cycling event and for those who feel cycling once a month is not enough.

This could be a long leisure ride of about 2hrs or less. Let us start early and enjoy the exercise.  We are looking for a show of hands.

Can I count- in : Charles, Andrew Kuan,  T.Seah, Tim L . Dennis W.  Alicia,  Ah nee, Daisy P.  Margie, Linda N. Boonliang, Jocye Tan and not forgetting Norlinda, Norlinda-no JB shopping for you.  I believe Yew Kwong will jog along or he has his own bike.

Please include your name If I have miss you.  Suggestions from members are welcom.

• Date : Feb23
• Time:08.30hrs
• Meeting PT: Bus stop beside Tanah Merah MRT stn.

Regards

Rene and Douglas

Cycling over 1500km of terrain covering high altitudes, difficult climbs and long stretches may not sound like your kind of fun.

How about exploring the Eastern Coastal Park Connectors – lush landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of traffic noise and exhaust fumes.  This is not meant to substitute or replace Yew Kwong’s (Lau Ta) monthly cycling event.  It is an extension for those who feel cycling once a month is insufficient.  The park connectors vary in lengh, ranging from 2km to 10km, cater for cyclists who prefer longer distances.

Our initial recommendation, try cycling from EC MacDonald to Changi Point.  Have some snack/drink before cycling back via the same route.  If Kakis are tired along the route, they may "U’ turn or wait/rest at the spot for our return (there are rest stops along the way and you can also see plane taking off or landing).  This route is straight, no hills, good shade, you can feel and see the distance.  It is simple and less stressful on beginners too.

BTW, Airshow is from 18-24 Feb (am I right?).  It would be a good idea if we could cycle along the park connector that is parallel to the airport runway on 24 Feb so that we could also view the fly past, provided the police do not seal off the park connector.

We do not know how many Kakis could cover that distance.  Worry you can’t do it?  Go through regular cycling regime in order to be able to maintain your strength.  It’s all in the Mind.

Much talk about this excitement! Let’s have a show of hands here before we confirmed the dates – other Sats or Sun (do not want to clash with monthly walk too)

Enjoy the festive season’s goodies first and then, come back to cycle harder.

If I am free and have no other commitments, I will be riding on either Sat or Sun – Feb 2/3

Extreme Sports fan, are you enthusiastic about this kind of ride?
