C2C NDP EVE Half-island Ride

THE QUEST FOR THE FURTHEREST AND STEEPEST

NDP eve had to work full day and Kai also had deployment. We had agreed to join C2C for the half-island ride. Kai had rode to work the day before. Wherelse I had to rush back home and ride to meet him at his office. Left from home 0830, 10km to ride.

Home -> Nicol Highway ->Suntec->Tanjong Pagar MRT -> Oppo SGH -> Bukit Merah HDB office.


Waiting for Kai at his office, 2110hs.

Just as we were about to carry on the journey, started to rain. We carried on despite the rain as the rain was not very heavy.

BM HDB-> Red Hill MRT, Queensway MRT, Commonwealth MRT, Bunoa Vista MRT, SP, Dover MRT, Clementi MRT, Jurong East MRT, Chinese Garden MRT, Lakeside MRT (2200), Boon Lay MRT(Jurong Point) -> Jurong Shell station.
GPGT Jalan Boon Lay !!! Amazing feat for me to ride from the East to extreme West .

There we waited for the C2C group. Around 30mins later we saw a convoy of dazzling lights. They had arrived !!!





Most number of bikes I ever seen !!

FROM BOON LAY WE CYCLED TO TOP OF MOUNT FABER!!!


Resting @ top of Mount Faber.

I nearly had a crash while doing a turn at high speed(40km/h). I had already slammed my rear brakes but it was still heading towards the kerb. My screeching tyres frightened many. Luckily I was unhurt.

On our way to supper at Lau Pat Sat.


I bet nobody are to steal our bikes. The value of the bikes there more than $20,000. Some mid-range road-bikes costs $5000 onwards.
Beef, Mutoon and chicken satay. We ordred in total 160 sticks.


Some riders chartered a lorry to pick them and their bikes home.

After supper we and another rider on a gray 07 Ava 2.0 named Danny, rode home past Nicol Highway.

Reached home 0230. It was really an unforgettable experince for us, especially conquering the steep slopes of Mount Faber, had to drop till 1-1 gear ratio.

FYI: 1-1 gear ratio means the bike at lowest gear for climbing steep slopes. At this speed walking is faster than cycling!
