Secret Trail D

20mm left on my 120mm Reba after D Trail.

Two consecutive days of doing Two Hills has left me with lesser

energy than before. This morning I left the house feeling lethargic.

While on the road, I remembered what AirTime Mark posted on

his FB page and told myself : 'Hey, I could do that. I'll film myself

on that trail and then go home'.

I thought it was going to be easy. But look at the picture above. My fork

is 120mm. If I was still using my old 100mm fork, I would have bottomed out

already. Next time I will not believe AirTime Mark when he says a

trail is 'Fun' !

I've known about this trail for quite some time now. But for the life

of me I can't remember why I didn't go there until I got reminded

by AirTime Mark. Now I clearly remember why I don't want to go there!

Anyway, here's the video clip of today's ride. Also, I would like to say

that no hikers or hikers' feelings were hurt in the creation of this video.

Just when I thought I know all the trails in Singapore, I met a bunch of guys this morning who took me to this 'secret' trail. We had some difficulty finding the 'entrance' but once in, I was in awe. The place is very big. I think I could spend the whole day just exploring the fireroads. The smaller trails would take me about a month of weekends.

The highlight of the ride is a what my new friends call 'heart attack climb' :-)

Those who know this place has a name for it. But I won't repeat the name here. If you're interested, I am going there this coming Sunday to try the hell climb again.
