Hello everyone,

Joyce has been giving me constant reminders, or rather 'pestering' me to do a write-up on the Oct 16-18th Fraser's Hill trip, much to my reluctance (just kidding)! Only found the time to complete it now, so here it is.

Originally, Joyce had planned to head up to Fraser�s Hill with a group to take part in the Cyfora race on Oct 17^th, and had made arrangements with Eric accommodation-wise. When the race was postponed to Nov 1^st, she decided to go ahead with the trip and asked a few of us along. I had no idea how steep the hills actually were, and Joyce just said that I can do it, leading Donna and I to conclude that Joyce doesn�t want us to ask so much, just do it.

So with no idea what I was in for and all excited, I woke up at 3am on Friday and did a nice spin before meeting the rest at Eric�s condo, 630am for the long journey to Fraser�s. It wasn�t long till I dozed off, bored by the lack of music in Peter�s car and at the speed we were going at! When I woke up, I was greeted by hot air, to which Donna informed me that the air conditioning wasn�t working! Yikes! Peter then explained that his car was old and wouldn�t work well on long journeys, and it was Joyce who forced him to drive up haha.�

�After lunch at Tai Thong restaurant, we took a deserted route to the next regroup point, Kuala Kubu Bahru (KKB), passing through rows of half-built deserted houses which looked really eerie. As we reached KKB, we found Ivo, Joyce, Johnson and Goh dressed in their cycling gear, all ready for a ride. It was close to 4pm at that time and they wanted to ride all the way up to the bungalow. Donna was convinced to tag along, with Johnson as her escort, while I didn�t want to cos err lets just say I felt very constipated!�

After reaching the bungalow at 5plus, the Young-At-Heart men wanted to take a walk around town and I tagged along, not wanting to be left in the bungalow alone. Soon, it rained and we quickly walked back, with Joyce arriving at the bungalow alone. She said everyone had reached the GAP gate at 6plus but had to wait till 7 to cycle up, and it was pitch dark as they rode up at their own pace. We had dinner after everyone had arrived, and exchanged tales of the ride. Apparently, the guard at the GAP gate had informed them that tigers had been reported recently in the GAP area. Those who rode up were praying for the whole 8km to the bungalow that their front light would not shine into the eyes of a tiger. Ivo cheekily claimed that he saw green eyes staring at him though and Johnson said he saw Thai-girls instead of Tigers! The housekeeper later confirmed that he did see a Tiger with a few cubs roaming about before. We also chatted about the music in the cars; Ivo had latin/jazz music played, Eric had oldies/country western, while Donna and I could only hear the sound of the Peter's car engine!�Joyce also said Ivo had something planned for midnight involving tabletop dancing, but it never materialized with all of us retracting to bed by 1030 each night! Very disappointing!

Looi was telling us over breakfast on Saturday that he was sleeping soundly when he was woken up at 3am by Joyce crawling under his covers, to which Joyce replied with a �I think you are still dreaming!�

The scariest thing I have ever done was the 8km downhill on the GAP. The roads were a little wet from the rain the night before and I skidded a little.�When we reached the bottom, my fingers were numb from braking for too long. We then split into two groups, with Joyce, Peter, Goh, Johnson, Donna and I turning left to ride to Bentong, and Ivo, Glyn, Looi and Eric going right. The next 21km down was a much nicer experience as it was slightly less steep. About 5km down, we passed a landslide and I saw Joyce and Goh dismounting from their bike and walking so I followed suit. We stopped to take photos and waited for Donna, who was daring enough to cycle through the mud. Peter, not happy that he didn�t get any praise like Donna, exclaimed, �I rode through the mud too!� to which he was ignored by the Queen.

After the 21km downhill at the T-junction, we waited for Donna again. Joyce and I went ahead first to �find a �toilet� on the way to Bentong.�We passed by a Durian wholesaler and Joyce wanted to take photos. With her fluent Cantonese, she managed to charm the boss and he offered samples of durian. As the rest came, he had no choice but to offer to all and everyone was in durian paradise except me, who was suffering from inhaling too much of the durian stench while being ordered to take photos of them!

�More flats and slight downhill on the route to Bentong, and we finally reached the town where the famous ice kachang shop was. It was really good! Donna, Goh and I were also jokingly discussing that we should get a cab back to the bungalow as it was now time for the uphill torture!

�The Queen attacked after taking a few photos and only Johnson responded. Soon, it was just Donna and I, as we dropped Peter and Goh. We were baking in the hot sun and stopped for shelter at a rare shaded area by the road. Goh came soon after and we joked that we need to call Ivo to pick us up. Donna really tried calling but to no avail and Peter passed us. We continued riding till the T-junction just before the 21km uphill, where Donna and Goh wanted to call for help again as they had run out of water. I had half a bottle left and went ahead. It was like South Buona Vista hill, only much steeper. Was going mostly at 14-16kph, and up to 20kph at some flatter parts. After a few bends, I caught up with Peter and overtook him. Felt like it was never ending and started�calculating how long it would take me to reach the GAP gate. Also did not want to look at the speedo too much as the distance was going by ever so slowly. About 5km to the GAP,�a car horned at me. Donna and Goh had gotten a lift and the car could fit another. I shook my head and the car went off.�I saw a familiar figure in the distance with 3km to go. Who else but the Queen! Delighted, I rode with newfound motivation and managed to catch up. She had also run out of water and was slightly dehydrated. I offered water but she said nevermind, almost there. We were happy when we finally reached the GAP gate at about 2:20pm.�At 2:30pm, who else but the lovely Ivo came in his car with Eric and a 2 litre bottle of orange juice!�

We were allowed to ride up at 2:45pm and Joyce attacked again. Tried to chase but couldn't catch her so I just rode steadily at 8-11kph. About halfway up, I was almost behind her and Ivo's car passed me with Goh, Donna and Peter. Someone in the car secretly took a photo of Joyce and I, and we have yet to see the photo! Hint hint! The road flattened out quite a bit on the last 1.5km and we were relieved to see the Fraser's Hill town. Used the last bit of energy to climb the steep short slope (which Joyce said was comparable to Genting) to the bungalow and we made it, all 115.4km with an average speed of 21.2kph from my speedo.

Joyce was always requesting for a bowl of chopped garlic for lunch and dinner. At dinnertime, Ivo said, �Garlic is good for your skin. My wife eats a lot of it� to which Joyce replied, �Don�t lie, garlic is good for sex. No wonder you got your wife to eat more�. Johnson also told us his interesting life story which left everyone in awe!

�

�The next day, it started raining at 530am and we didn't want to take the risk and ride down the GAP. Some of us went for a walk instead where we got 'attacked' by a dog named Tiger (as Joyce puts it) and it followed us for most of our walk. When we went back to the bungalow, Ivo and Glyn were ready for a short ride down and back up the GAP.�Donna, Goh and I followed Johnson as he wanted to explore around town on the bike. Little did we know that we had to climb quite a bit and we had slippers/track shoes on. It was enjoyable though and Ivo even washed our bikes for us later on!

After lunch, we packed our bags and were ready to go home. Donna and I 'begged' to sit in Ivo�s car with Joyce but Peter refused to �release us�. Thus, we had no choice but to �endure� Peter for another 7hours++ (just kidding, Peter!). It was worse for me than for Donna as there was a lingering smell of durians that were stashed in Peter�s boot!

�As usual, cars were overtaking us left and right, leading Peter to proclaim that �Just like cycling, it�s not that I�m slow, I�m just keeping a respectable distance from the others�. We were finally greeted by Singapore streetlamps at 845pm!

Thanks to everyone for making this an enjoyable trip and to the guys for buying t-shirts for us girls! Much appreciated! (:

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting scared....  haha..

Good Monday Evening dear JoyRiders,

It's scary to read about the accidents and near-accidents along East
Coast Park. I myself had a similar encounter but I shouted at the boys
to KEEP LEFT!!!  West Coast feels much safer on weekends, although the
scenary isn't great at all for the boys... only metal cranes and
lorries.. Haha...

For ADVANCE newbies who have been cycling for some time, and feeling a
little uneasy at the joints at times, this might be something useful
to chew on :  http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/sport/a/bikefit.htm

Once again, we invite our ADVANCE NEWBIES to ride with us this
Wednesday! I am enjoying the cool night but I hope Wed morning will be
a clear!

Our route :

The 34km Mandai Loop. Roll off at 5am together with the fast group,
then regroup at Mandai Shell.
The fast group will zoom towards Clementi -> Keppel -> Raffles Place
and maybe breakfast at the Amoy Juice Bar. If you are FAST and can
keep up with the front pack, feel free to roll on with them.

The Advance Newbies group (that's you!) will go back to Longhouse via
Dunearn Road -> Adam Road, or go home whichever way you wish.

First timers, if you need directions, please let  Donna, YKK or me
know in advance which way you wanna head. Don't want you to get lost!

Average Speed maybe around 25 - 29km/h

This is the link of the route  :

I wonder if anyone call it Act of God?

A couple of years ago, I was cycling along a narrow park connector after Xilin Avenue towards Tanah Merah, when I saw an Indian man without helmet cycling his utility bike in a zig-zag manner towards me along the same park connector. I stopped cycling and dismounted for him to pass by. He crashed almost head-on into my bike as he could not cycle in a straight line, and he did not know how to brake

So lucky, he had a metal front basket for crumple-zone, and I had withdrawn my ungloved right hand in time. The damage to my bike was torn off-side bar wrap and a few scratches on the off-side brake lever (thanks to his crumple-zone that did worked well enough:- crumpled). He fell but did not appear injured although he was not wearing any seat-belt. Perhaps I was a little too obese to fall from that impact, then

He looked sheepish and remained silence when asked him what he was trying to do

So lesson learned: due personnal diligence to stop my bike early may not be quite enough to avoid accident/collision

Compensation: I was too surprised by the accident to realised that

The East Coast Park is where I learned that my bike can brake to a screeching stop, when two girls trying tandem cycling on their own used a pedestrain crossing for their cycling route. Somehow it is common that cyclists/pedestrians/skaters U-turn/stop suddenly along the way cycling track

Many years back someone organised a car rally requiring participants to drive along East Coast Park Service Road at constant 60km/h on a Sunday while on the lookout for tulips. I refused to participate in that car rally

I believe complacency over safety here at East Coast Park is unbelieveable

I think it is best to avoid cycling inside the park during the weekend afternoons, as that is when they are most crowded. With the high human traffic, the chance of an accident occurring is much greater.

I would like to draw attention to a mishap another cyclist recently encountered inside ecp:

Actually, its always a danger to cycle inside ECP because sunday is usually
family day, which means all sorts of people are out on the track, from grand
parents to small children. And most of the time they dont have that sense of
safety and road sense that we all have. I've avoided cycling inside ECP ever
since I started with Alvin's Eastern Rides and I can only say is during
weekends, Dodging the cars outside the service road is alot safer than cycling
inside the park filled with kids and imbeciles who doesnt have any road sense
and directions at all.

Hi All,

I would want to share this for everyone to take note.

I went cycling with my Scott road bike from Bukit Batok to East coast park yeaterday afternoon. It was quite crowded with many cyclists around and I would always slow down to overtake them safely. But I realised that quite a number of them endanger other cyclists' life. These were the 3 things that I encounted:

1. I was riding straight ahead when I notice a Malay woman riding towards me in the opposite direction. She cut across my direction so suddenly that stunned me causing me to brake hard.

2. I was overtaking a kid with his mountain bike on the right. He suddenly swerved to his right at the same time and causing me to brake as hard as I can and my bike skidded causing me to almost lost my balance.

3. It was going to rain. So I grabbed my bike and tried to cycle home. I realised that the place was still as crowded. I was slowly overtaking a kid with mountain bike on my right. As I past him, he swerved to his right so suddenly and crash into me and both us fall together on our right. Neither me nor the kid was injured but only a slight cut on my finger. My drop bar had bent out of shape, front brakes mis-aligned and handle grip torned off. The rest are still ok. I can't cycle any further but to detach my both wheels and took a cab home.

Ever since this year whenever I cycle to East coast park, unusual things happened such as caught in the rain, punctured tyre or even other things. After all these incidents, I would take alternative route which is the East coast service road. I would advise road bikers not to cycle in any crowded places especially with kids around. I have also seen before that a kid almost collided with an ang-moh road biker in the opposite direction.

I believe so, seeing that a great number of the group are runners or
triathletes as well as cyclists. At the same time, that stretch of road is none
too safe for
cyclists due to the number of illegally-parked cars which protrude
into the road proper. Cyclists will do well to maintain a high level
of alertness and to practise situational awareness when cycling along
that stretch of the road.

Big boy at play... Very expensive hobby...

But I still cannot figure out the main objective..

Must be very tiring on the legs?

If can get to aero position but with small wheels?

Guess I'm still new to cycling;)

That's a cool upgrade you've got there ! Heh ......

Sure going to get a fair bit of attention when you ride around on it !

Perhaps you might want to consider installing a Shimano DA electronic shifter at the rear with the wireless control on the handlebar, therefore no wires needed ? That will make it non-singlespeed !

Hello,

Just like to share the recent transformation of my foldable bike... items changed are :

Saddle, pedals, seatpost, stem, stempost, handle bar, brakes, wheels (from 14" to 16") and front chainring/arm (from 42 to 60 teeth).. and yes... it is still a single speed! :-)

Total costs : ~S$500.00

Hmm... this is what I call a "Fun Bike".. as it is not fast... and if I do get to do the OCBC "race" next year... this will be the bike I am using... just for the FUN of it!..

and.. the drop bar is there so that I no longer sit up right!.... *notice the saddle is higher than the drop bar!... would be quite difficult to sit upright in this setting! :-)

Hi Joshua

Care to share why this transformation� another Desaru trip or another long challenging ride in Shanghai?

I cannot understand that part about the drop bar, why would you want to use drop bar if you are sitting up right?
