20160809_51st NDP- Ulu Pandan park connector to Chinese Garden bike

 9/8/2016..The Cycle from Holland V to Chinese Garden on Red Dot 51st!

When was the last time I was at Chinese Garden?  Mmmm ...at least more than 40 years ago! Heh heh!


Today, we decided to try out the bike trail using the Ulu Pandan Park Connector (about 7km) all the way to Jurong Chinese Garden (via Jurong PC - about 9km?) !
Started at 9:15am, we departed from Holland V hawker centre, taking the ride into the start of the Ulu Pandan PCN which was just opposite the Buona Vista MRT station.



Nice scenery along this park connector!




By 1pm , we were back at Holland V!

My thighs had some cramps along Toh Guan Road the the turn of IMM on the way back! Ouch!
And then also along the Ulu Pandan Park connector on the way back! And then along Holland Road on the last leg of the homing:( Thrice cramps...ouch! More than 30km and 3 hours of cycling under the hot noon sun...dehydrated this time!




But it was a worth it biking adventure!A trip down memory lane back to Chinese Garden which I had never popped in since 40 years plus ago!
The structures are still there...but the humans had grown taller...and older of course!

Blessed 51st birthday to little Red Dot!
