T15
Today was one heck of a tiring day.
Today was cycling day. Well usual stuff in the morning,
then rushed to prepare for the ride. The objective was T15.
T15 being a famous trail for riders. Right, so i went out at around 1048am.
Went to the nearest petrol station to pump my tires. After that,
started to make my way to Sun Plaza which was the meeting
point. Met up with Wei Sheng, then after he settled his money stuff with
Shirley and Jun Mei. Then, we started the ride to T15. We had to cycle down
to Yishun first to ask the local bike shop for directions for the trail.
After we got directions, which was said to be near Mandai Zoo.
SO, we headed down for Mandai Zoo. Halfway through, we took at a break at
Mandai resoirvoir, which was a nice place to chill cause the scenery was nice.
After the short break, we continued looking for T15. We rode and rode,
then we went all the way in stopping at times to ask people for directions,
we continued until we ended up at Mandai Zoo which was right at the end of
the road, we felt something was wrong cause the trail still can't be
found. So, we thought what the heck, stomachs growling in hunger,
so we stopped at the Zoo for lucnh at KFC =D
The Zoo has changed a lot, including the front entrance, the interior, we
don't know cause we didn't want to spend money going in.
At around 3pm we continued to search for T15. We backtracked, until we saw
this van parked at a corner, so we went up to the uncle in
the van and asked him if we could borrow the street directory.
So he lent it to us and then we have found it. IT WAS ALL THE WAY BACK
AT THE ENTRANCE. We realized we overshot all the way into the Zoo
without realizing the trail was actually there xD
So we went back to the starting with the giant Mandai Zoo sign outide
that says "Zoo 1.5Km".
And we saw the trail at last. We stood in front of the trail
with the open gates there. Hmmm well i tried to find a picture of the
T15, i guess this is the best i could get.
Credits to togoparts.com and the riders. At night..wow..
This picture shows the second gate that we came across.
T15 used to be a military zone cause of all the signs and stuff.
On the way to the gate, there were many army signs saying warning this
warning that. We proceeded slowly with caution in case there were snipers =x
When we came to the second gate we had to climb over it. After we got over
we could continue th trail. It felt great, cause we were cycling on
protected zone xD But was kind of lonely cause there were two of us
but guess i was wrong when we came across another fellow rider, he was
a professional rider and is local.
The trail was hella fun and is a offroad trail so it was damn "hoing"
Woot! All that gravel and rocks and all sorts of offroad stuff, it
was an amazing experience for me and Wei Sheng.
After we reached the end of the trail we landed up in Bukit Panjang
Chua Chu Kang area. We took a while to get out of there cause we didnt know the area
all that well. Then we used the Bukit Timah route and then reached
Macritchie and we are home free. This bike ride was my longest and most
"hoing" one. LIM BEI KA LI KONG SIBEI FUN MAN! but it was tiring still
the experience is unforgettable.
Well i took some shots of our ride so here they are enjoy.
