PCN ride (part 1)

Attempted a relatively easy ride using the park connectors (PCN).

The first 7km were the same as written in http://cethosia.blogspot.sg/2013/09/pcn-round-island.html

But this time I took the Bukit Batok East PCN at Bukit Batok East Ave 2 and passed-by Little Guilin Lake.

Followed by Choa Chu Kang PCN, which runs under the MRT tracks along Bukit Batok West Ave 5 and along Sungei Peng Siang at Brickland Road.

Passed through the housing estate to Choa Chu Kang Park. There have been some changes to this park since I last visited months ago.

Pushed bike onto Choa Chu Kang East Flyover to cross KJE and took Choa Chu Kang North PCN after that.

Took Pang Sua PCN, which runs along the canal and ends at Choa Chu Kang Way.

The next 5km through Sungei Kadut industrial area alternated between riding on the pavements and pushing over grass patches when there was no pavement.

Emerged intact at Kranji Road and saw the following signs at the rail corridor.

这一次台湾之旅原本计划四人游,到后来的二人行,虽然有时候计划赶不上变化,但总体还算顺利,圆满成功! 我必须感谢BL的耐心配合,迁就我的饮食习惯,还送了我两本台湾野鸟图鉴。BL,谢谢你!
