Picnicycling

It's been a few years since I last cycled and many years since I last had a picnic.

Off we go >>

The explorer in us wanted to do some walking and so we alighted at Eunos instead of Bedok where we could have had taken a direct bus to PP. We boarded bus 13 and alighted somewhere at Marine Crescent, only to realise we were unsure of the way to PP. So naturally we headed straight for ECP via the underpass.

Had late Turkish lunch at Kebab Station.



















Mushroom pide, Chicken musakka and some curry-like "soup" which according to the owner, was "on the house".

Ha we were expecting the mushroom soup we ordered because we misinterpreted that he would still go ahead to prepare although mushroom soup was supposedly not available.


After lunch, it's time for a cycling refresher course with instructor WM haha. After taking some time to get my balance, we were ready for a ride.

On and off, I would uncontrollably zig-zag my way through the track, ha so WM could only tail behind my bike. I held on tightly to the grips and was concentrating really hard to keep my balance and avoid tripping over yet another seed or bumping into other people. The feeling was actually quite scary and I felt insecure as I was rather unstable. Along the way, we passed by quite a few places: Bedok Jetty, bougainvillea garden, Ski360 Degree, OBS... Don't think I've ever had such a long bicycle ride, so in a way it's a little achievement for myself.


After cycling for about an hour, we decided to catch a breather,
























ha at the peaceful "Canada" beachside,



















Where we were rewarded with the sight of beautiful trees.


And a cosy meal of





















Sandwiches, sushi, cakes, biscuits and chocolate.


And then it was a long way home as we cycled back, returned our bikes, walked to PP, waited 20 min for bus 966 and took a train from Eunos MRT.

A long, happy day out albeit full of aches everywhere :)
