Cycling & Blading @ East Coast Park (Photos)




30 kilometres. That's the distance we cycled today!

From East Coast Park to Changi Coast Road and back, a feat accomplished together by Valery, Jie Yi, SiYing, Pierre, Ryan Lai, Dorothy, ShiHui & me on 9 Jun 2011! ^_^

The light drizzle in the morning which started from a heavy downpour the night before almost threatened to foil this great feat of ours. (".) The weather was surprisingly cool and breezy for our cycling expedition, much to our delight. Thanks to the overcast sky, the beach was not as crowded as it normally would have been during school holiday.

I must say it was also a very enjoyable cycling experience for me. Besides setting the 30km record, the one thing which I like was the camaraderie. All eight of us cycled together at a leisurely pace, stopping over at the 'flowery' tower (on the initiative of one of the kiddos) for sight-seeing, and a stopover at the PCN* Pitstop for a drink, and stopping here and there to wait for the rest to catch up. This is what a gathering is!

Of course, every gathering of ours is sure to be accompanied with a eat-drink-be-merry session, and this time, we were at C-Nai Hong Kong Cafe. =D

When will we meet next? When it happens next. (",)


*PCN stands for Park Connector Network
