Midweek Night Cycling: Khatib to Upper Thomson via Seletar and Yio Chu Kang road

Today, our foldies took their maiden ride on the SMRT train. Getting on the trains didn't pose major issues. It was however somewhat crowded along the NS line towards Khatib.

There was ample space and time for us to snap a couple of shots.

Many thanks to Joey for leading the way through from Khatib all the way to Upper Thomson. We rode across Seletar Reservoir which was surprisingly crowded with love birds, families, frat bros and such.

It was an easy casual ride, ideal as a warm up for this Sunday's ride with the peeps from lovecyclingsg. A couple of slopes were spotted along Yio Chu Kang Road towards Upper Thomson Road though. Slopes, always a challenge for novices like us.

I used the MapMyRide app for Android to track our route for the first time. App crashed a couple of times before finally saving our route. Handset restart did the trick.

Life's a journey, enjoy the ride!
