Wanna know where the 6 crazy SHCians were last night from 10pm – 5am?  We embarked on a "60Km: Half Island Ride"<\/strong><\/font> from 28 June – 29 June.<\/p>\n

We cycled from ECP MacD – Fort Rd – Nicholl Highway – Shenton Way – Telok Blangah Rd -passed by VIVO city and reached Labrador Park at 11:45pm for break.  At 12am, we proceeded to West Coast Highway – Jalan Buroh – Jurong Port Rd.  We arrived Yuan Ching MacD at 1:30am and took a 20-30m break.<\/p>\n

About 2am, we moved on to Boon Lay Way – Ulu Pandan Park Connector, passed by Jurong East Central – Clementi – Commonwealth Ave – Alexandra Rd – Havelock Rd – Eu Tong Sen – Victoria Street.  We rested at nearby Allson Hotel.<\/p>\n

We journeyed on our last segment from Victoria Street – Nicoll Highway – Stadium Rd – Tg Rhu completing the ride back to ECP MacD with the first batch landed their firing bum at 4:45am.<\/p>\n

Throughout the 60km+ journey, we have had a mixture of feelings – fear, excitement and ultimately, the adrenaline of a new challenge.  We were riding alongside vehicles along the busy hubs, highways and were treated to the night sights and sounds of Singapore.<\/p>\n

To feel the wind rushing against our faces was an unforgettable experience and together with the good companionship of SHCian cyclists, it was indeed a treat away from our normal hectic and stressful lifestyle.  To top it off, we were blessed with a breezy and cooling night weather which made the ride all the more memorable.  It was a ride forever etched in our memories.<\/p>\n

Despite some of us have initial doubts about our BODY and SOUL adjustment. No doubt, we SHCians have proven  that we are still able to keep up with the stamina and stay awake!  In fact, we did it with much enthusiasm and rewarded with a thrill experience!<\/p>\n

So, Comrades! Are you still game to join me for the next biggest challenge of "Round Island Ride of 120km?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
