Good morning cycling kakis !<\/p>\n
Due to commitements – I missed out the Penggarang cycling trip–this time I make sure I do not miss the Sept monthly group cycling- so I am submitting my name NOW even b\/4 registration opens !!<\/p>\n
Cycling had been in my blood – for 3 years of my secondary education in Malacca – I cycled daily about 4 kilometres rain \/ shine to school ( + of course cycled back home – no play cheat – lah by taking bus home !!!!)<\/p>\n
Last month my son with his Deutche Bank Vietnamese collegue toured Hue \/ Hoi An ( Central Vietnam ) by the usual A\/C van + a very unique bicycle riding tour exploring Hoi An (small town ) then was escorted cycling to a farm visit where they had some hands -on >herbal foot massage> learn simple Viet snacks cooking >then lunch in the farm with all the freshness vegees ! He had the Viet. tour agency which organises this 4D3N tour of Hoi Ann + Hue .<\/p>\n
As I had been to North \/ South Viet. but not Central -I am thinking of organising the usual A\/C bus tour + 3\/4 day Hoi Ann town + farm visit cycling trip ! I had checked with the local Viet. tour – my calculations based on 8 persons group : with Silkair return flight 4D3N+ food + hotel stays -cost per adult is about SGD 800 . More persons go -less to pay — Silkair flight now is about SGD 460 – hope price do not go up !!!<\/p>\n
I intend to go from 29 October ( Fri) >> return on 1 Nov ( Mon) OR 12 Nov (Fri ) to 15 Nov ( Mon) . Silkair also flies there on Wed >> << Saturdays — I am free to go on these dates also!<\/p>\n
Anyone interested ?? I shall go with min. 8 cyclists to bring the costs down !!! for those non -cyclist if have sufficient numbers I shall talk to the Viet. tour to provide A\/C van transport all the way !<\/p>\n
Regards to all from Fong Fong<\/p>\n
