JimInspiration: Exploring the Bedok PCN

Had a great morning biking adventure with ride buddies exploring the Bedok Park Connector Network (PCN). All of us were very excited about this morning's ride. We started 'WhatsApping' each other from 10 p.m. the night before to talk about the ride. Pictures of our bikes and accessories were 'flaunted' adding to our excitement and anticipation. Not sure how many of us slept well last night. :)

It was a great 45 km ride from Jalan Lembah Bedok -> along Bedok PCN -> East Coast Park -> Changi Coastal Road -> Changi Village for BF (and back). Below are some pictures taken during/along our ride. All pictures taken by my Samsung Note 2 camera. Enjoy.

The Bedok PCN - A very scenic ride indeed

Rode pass Bedok Camp "Home of our Guards". Took a quick shot and sped off because we are not supposed to take pictures of Military Camps :)

This was on of my favourite stretch along the PCN. Quiet and the estate here was really nice. Property prices along this stretch must be very high!

One of my favourite shot. Timing was perfect. Wish I could elevate my point of view a bit higher for a better composition.

Mastered the art of riding with one arm and taking pictures using the other. Don't try this without years of practice. Ha Ha!

Along the way, we had to cross 3 pedestrian crossings like this one. A good excuse to take a quick water break.

Ride buddies were having a great time chatting while waiting for the pedestrian crossing light to turn green.

Another one of my favourite shot.

Almost there... East Coast Park...Changi Coastal Road next!

Guy in Red, "Wah, can ride a bike and take pictures at the same time. Steady!"

An interesting bridge we had to cross along the way. Had to push our bikes across, if not, fine $1000!

Now you know who was the law abiding one...ha ha. On a serious note, we were all law abiding. We pushed our bikes across.

Finally, reached our BF destination - Changi Village FC. Our bikes took a break and by now, all of us were starving.

Guess what did I have for my BF? Shiok!

We had a great time catching up over BF and coffee. Still looked fresh after 20+ km.

On our way back, we had some "chain problem". We worked as a team to fix the problem in less than 5 mins. Excellent team work!

At the traffic junction, we had some time to pose for the camera. Look at the wonderful smiles :)

Our cycling pace back to Jln Lembah Bedok (our start point) was much faster. Towards the end, it was literally an "uphill task"!

Ternie did a great job! A well deserved rest under the shade.

As we were recovering from the ride, we talked a lot about biking stuff. However, a cat caught our attention and conversations were directed to this fella. He seems to be enjoying his basking under the sun and was oblivious to our conversations.
