Bukit Timah, Singapore
Get set for humidity. This place makes Houston look like a desert. For as dense an island as Singapore is, it's pretty amazing to find a nature preserve of this size right in the middle. The trails are pretty easy overall, it's a nice ride for a Saturday afternoon or when you are looking for some fast fun. I borrowed a bike from a friend, so I had to overcome the shortcomings of an early-90's hardtail with little or no suspension and plastic flats. Let's just say my feet were all over the place. | ||||||||||
