Cycling trip

We've been talking about it on and off but it never really took off. Ends up that the organization of this trip was just yesterday. Met Radzali at Bukit Timah NPC (we're policemen after all!). By then, I was ready to go home. Bukit Timah road is a crazy intense road in terms of speed and stress from the fast stream of vehicles. Anyhow, went to Little India to meet Kanesh then the sky was really threatening and true enough it started raining. This is the first time my bike touched water so I thought it was the end of the world. Anyhow rode out the rain in McDonalds.

Rain stopped and we set off for Marina Barrage. Passed by the Merlion at the One Fullerton area so like all the other tourists there, stopped to take pics. The road to Marina Barrage is crappy with alot of sand which the big trucks kick up (onto our face and everywhere). Nevertheless, it was worth it because the barrage was beautiful.

Later went to Clementi for chicken rice which was pretty good (by now you should have figured cycling trips is all about the food!). Went home after that as Kanesh has something on in the afternoon.

By then my bike and clothes had mud all over the place. I baby my bike quite alot so it was quite a horror. Anyhow, gave it a good wipe and lube and keeping my fingers crossed that it will be okay for many such rides like this one to come. It was fun!
