Location: East Coast Park and Coastal Park Connector
This would be my first album entry on my "Singapore Cycling tour" along parks and park connectors network around Singapore.
As I have mentioned last time, East Coast Park is one of our favourite cycling place in Singapore. On 11 January 2009, we (myself, Inka and Irza) tried to venture the eastern area of East Coast Park, and the cycling track led us to a park connector called the Coastal Park Connector, which links East Coast Park with Changi Beach Park.
Since we rented the bicycles (tandem bicycles for myself and Inka, and a smaller bicycle for Irza, we haven't bought our bicycles at that time) from a kiosk at Raintree Cove, we did not plan to venture up to Changi Beach Park since we had to go back and return our bikes and I didn't want to risk tiring the kids. However, we did reach the best stretch of the coastal park connector, which is the long straight track along Changi Coast Rd, just next to the Changi airport runway.
I remember that we were cycling towards Changi Beach Park and just next to us, a Jetstar plane was about to take off. We were then preparing ourselves for the race against the jet plane... ready... get set... go... and there we go... cycling as fast as we can to race against the jet plane... of course... we lost... :) :) What a exhilarating experience... :) :)
Overall, we really enjoyed cycling along the coastal park connector, with different types of view along the way: sea view, garden view, golf course view and airport view, with less crowds compared to the busy East Coast Park stretch.
