Round the island bike ride

I finally cycled around the full perimiter of Singapore in a single ride yesterday. I paced myself and ate well (had a large brekky, rice lunch, a rice meal (Indian curry) at Kranji, and finally the all-important Snickers bar and 100 plus at Jalan Buroh 26 km before home).

As expected I got caught in the rain, dried off, then got caught in the rain again. No puntures, a few dogs chasing me, a few idiot drivers, pretty much a run-of-the-mill ride.

Here are some stats and facts:

  • Distance cycled: 155.15 km
  • Cycling time: 6 hours, 19 minutes
  • Time including stops: 7 hours, 15 minutes (1.30pm to 8.45pm)
  • Average speed: 24.54 km/hour
  • The route taken: Kampong Kayu Road-Mountbatten Road-Fort Road-East Coast Park-Changi Coast Walk-Changi Coast Road-Nicoll Drive-Telok Paku Road-Loyang Avenue-Pasir Ris Drive 3- Pasir Ris Drive 12-Tampines Avenue 10-Tampines Link-Tampines Road-Hougang Avenue -Upper Serangoon Road-Sengkang East Avenue-Sengkang West Avenue-Jalan Kayu-Edgeware Road-East Camp Road-Seletar Club Road-Yishun Avenue 1-Yishun Avenue 6-Yishun Avenue 7-Yishun Avenue 2-Sembawang Road-Admiralty Road East-Admiralty Road West-Admiraly Road-Woodlands Center Road-Woodlands Road-Kranji Road-Kranji Loop-Kranji Way-Neo Tiew Road-Lim Chu Kang Road-Jalan Baha-Jurong West Avenue 5-Pioneer Road North-Upper Jurong Road-Benoi Road-Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim-Tuas West Drive-Tuas South Avenue 1-Tuas South Avenue 3-Tuas South Avenue 5-Tuas South Avenue 14-Tuas South Avenue 9-Tuas South Avenue 6-Tuas South Avenue 5-Tuas Crescent-Tuas Basin Link-Tuas Road-Pioneer Road-Shipyard Road-Jalan Buroh-West Coast Highway-Pasir Panjang Road-Telok-Blangah Road-Keppel Road-Anson Road-Robinson Road-Collyer Quay-Fullerton Road-Esplanade Drive-Nicoll Highway-Stadium Road-[footbridge over Geyland River]-Tanjong Rhu Place-Tanjong Rhu Road-Geylang Park Road-Kampong Kayu Road

Conclusion: my legs are sore and roads here seem to change names every block.
