The leading uncles up at Mt. Faber discussing how to
torture ... oooppss, I mean how many laps should we do.
Btw, photos were taken from NoLights Louie's
FB uploads.

Another big group ride! 14 riders!

But it was a shame that nobody wants

to go for night trail ride on Monday

night, eve of Singapore National Day.

Looks like apart from SR Deck, Fast Paolo,

Roadie Rio, AirTime Mark and me,

nobody else gets the urge to go on a

night trail ride in the BT area.

However, it seems a lot of people want

to go for a 'city' ride and check out

Mt. Faber :-)

The ride was quite long for the Eastern

boys. They started from Pasir Ris, going

to Changi Village, all the way to ECP

and then we finally met them at the Fort

Rd end of ECP.

After meeting the whole bunch, we went to

F1 pitlane via the Kallang PCN, then went to

Esplanade, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and then

Robertson Quay. We had a stop for drinks

at the petrol station near the Swiss

Valley bikeshop.

After the refueling stop, we all went to

Mt. Faber via Henderson Rd (pant pant huff

huff) and then Telok Blangah Rise. Once

we all reached the top, some of the riders

opted not to do the customary laps.

After a majority of the lapping uncles did

4 laps, everybody voted to start the journey

home. But the leading uncles still had one

more climb that they wanted to do !

Of course, this climb was the surprise

of the night for the newer members

of the peloton.

The peloton was steered by the leading uncles

to Telok Blangah Hill. I think some of them

almost fainted when they saw what was

in store for them.

After doing just one climb, I think

I heard some of the guys referring to the

route planner as 'Dr. Evil'. hehehehe.

Anyway, the good thing about going to

such a high place is that the way home all

points downhill :-)

That's it! Any one wants to see Mt. Faber

again, you know who to call :-)
