Currently Playing: Untouched - The Veronicas
Had been resting lots and eating a lot more (And I really mean loads!) since the marathon 2 weeks ago, and I realised it's time to get back on the saddle again before whatever teeeny bit of fitness left in me is all lost~ >_<
Though Kenny wasn't with us, his bike certainly was, with Wei Hong piloting it this time. =)
We entered T15 via Mandai Road and stopped at the end of it for a lil' break before tackling the official Bukit Timah trails:
The landmark that indicates the start of Bukit Timah biking trails.
The weather has been scorching hot lately, but it's all good, for it meant that the trails are going to be dry, translating to more speed, and cleaner bikes! =D
My trusty steed after doing the length of T15 - Spotless! ^^
Francis' Epic and Kenny's SuperLite. Squeaky clean!
We wasted no time in hitting the trails after a drink - And here's the iconic stairway that daunts most mountain bikers who are new to the trail:
No worries, with the right technique (Saddle-on-shoulder), the stairway is actually quite easy to navigate.
After the stairway is the fast section of the track that leads all the way to the entrance of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve:
Back at the entrance where lotsa bikers gather during the weekends.
Cleanliness check - Outstanding! Don't you just love dry trails? =P
After topping up our bottles, it's time to hit the trails leading back to Mandai. A notable section on the return leg is one that suddenly brings you to a clearing in the middle of the reserve, where weathered quarry cliff faces and greenery paint a serene picture - Ahh... The joys of mountain biking! =)
The open space starts abruptly in the middle of the trail, like an entrance to a 'secret garden'. =)
Weathered cliff face surrounded by greenery... Beautiful!
One last shot of the cliffs before we hit home~
It's been an awesome come-back ride after a rough semester in skool, am sooo looking forward to doing it again soon!
