Pulau Ubin Recce Update

Ladies and Gentlemen,

time for some update on the recce yo! There were three others along and guess what? The joyous news is - Paulina is now in the cyclers' club!! Wahaha... Ok, here are some observations and pointers:


1. Bring your CAMERA! (at least one within a group...the more the merrier)

2. Insect repellent is EXTREMELY VERY VITAL.

3. Mopiko aka 'Wu Bi Gao' is optional depending on your resistance to itch (fyi, Paulina didn't have any mosquito bites while Eugene Tan & myself, we blessed the little flying objects)

4. Covered shoes only. No slippers. (the terrain we're approaching ain't just flat roads, its challenging!)

5. Water is a must!! (as for me, 1.5 litres was consumed entirely throughout the whole recce)

The following are some photos for you to enjoy and look forward to on 1 October, where our adventure begins...

The journey of a cyclist...

See you there!

Snacks to enjoy a picnic by the beach. A cap and sunblock but also a raincoat or poncho - both sun and rain are frequent and unpredictable! Insect repellant, especially if you are vulnerable to insect bites. Use shoes - covered-toes, laced and hard soles. (MUST MUST MUST!!) First aid kit. (if you have one...) Be careful and considerate on Pulau Ubin If you stop, park your bicycle by the side of the road or trail to allow others to pass. Keep left when cycling - be careful on any paved road, vans ply the island! Give way to pedestrians; be hospitable even if they are in the wrong place! Speed injures, so cycle slowly. You may have heard stories of broken bones and teeth - well they were all going too fast! Do not bring your bicycles on to the Chek Jawa boardwalk - they are not allowed.
