"Gastrono-athlon!!!" Recee trip

Just got back this morning from a run-through of the Night Cycling "Gastro-athlon!!!" route. The route is gonna be fun, with tons of visual surprises and promises that you will experience Singapore in a different "light!" 

We're looking at a low intensity route of 65 km and it took me 8 hours and 15 mins to finish, at an average speed of 12km/h, a leisure pace that we will be traveling along.  

Here's some highlights of the route; 

Starting at East Coast Park, we will be going along the back hangar/landing grounds of Changi Airport; 

-> Rest point #1: Changi Village

->Rest point #2: ??? (Surprise!)

-> Rest Point #3: Simpang Bedok

-> Towards the City! 

->Rest Point #4: Lau Pa Sat

-> Back to East Coast park

Every rest point is "edible" in a sense.  

Its going to be a scenic route, hitting the roads at times, but very manageable terrain. Tons of fun elements, going through landmarks of Singapore that you will not forget! 

So come for it and invite your friends! 

If you drive and don't wanna cycle, do inform and I can tell you road-by-road in which we will be traveling on and you can drive along with us. 

See you this Sunday!
