    • ]]>     Finally, I brought my new bike out after keeping it in the room for about a month. So this is the virgin ride, other than the ride home on the day I bought it. I was supposed to meet up with some friends nearby, so I thought I cycled instead of driving, it’s going to be good exercise.

    This was the path I cycled.

    Cycling Trail – 19/03/2009

    I’m tracking my paths with Google Map so that I know how much I have cycled. Next time round, I will be using the Nokia Sports Tracker to record the path. Was supposed to use that, but there’s serious issues with the battery life if I use the internal GPS. I will write about it another day, so I won’t go into details here.

    • ]]>     It was raining cats and dogs over the weekend, so my interest for cycling was really drowned. I will attempt again this weekend though. And while searching for the route to cycle to Pasir Ris Park, I discovered that there’s a mangrove board walk at Pasir Ris! I always thought the board walks were only built at Changi and Labrador. I love nature, the beach, the trees, the habitats at the mangrove. I’m definitely going to the board walk this weekend. Will snap some pics and post here!

    Where’s the board walk?

    • ]]>     It’s about a month since I got my bike, and I have not brought it out since. :) So I’m planning the maiden trip this weekend. First few ideas would be to explore the Park Connector Network. Maybe to Pasir Ris first, to warm things up abit. I have not cycled for a long time, let alone trying to cross the roads with it.
    Wish me good luck..ahah..

    Oh, I will attempt geotagging too..:)

    • ]]>     I have taken up cycling as a new hobby this year. Losing weight is one of the reasons why I decided on cycling. :)

    This is the mountain bike I bought for this new hobby. It’s a Jamis Trail X3.

    Jamis Trail X3 2009

    I bought it at $512, which is quite a steal. The original price is $569. It comes with front and back disc brakes. I thought this would be useful. Even my car doesn’t have disc brakes for the back wheels :) . There’s front suspension, which makes the ride less bumpy. Overall I’m happy with this buy.

    A couple things I would like to do when I cycle, just for fun.

    1. I’m going to take photos as I cycle. And do some geotagging thing

    2. After which I will map out my trail on Google Map.

    3. I will explore taking video for the whole trail as well, then have my own version of Google Streetview :)

    I hope to start soon, as soon as I figure out how to do the geotagging part with my existing GPS and camera.

    Anyone keen to join me?
