Singapore Cycling Route | 120km Round the Island | Mystery Guest | S-Work Venge

This was a tough round the island ride with Mr. D. He's young, competitive and an experience endurance runner. The weather in the early part of the ride was cool and we witnessed one of the nicest sunrise in recent months. However we had headwind at TMCR and the scorching sun to add to the suffering. Reached home around 1030am, partially sunburnt but had a lot of fun out of this ride with Mr. D.

I appreciate every single person who has cycled round the island. Because I tried but managed to reach only 100km or less. The scorching sun was a killer. However, taking nothing away from the cyclists, I realise that different people have different ways of calculation for a round island trip. Meaning they use different routes. Some clock 125km, others up to 140km. But hey, anyone who completes 120km at one go deserves to be applauded.

[@jeremyemilio9378]

True RTI will be about 175km excluding sentosa

[@alanung]

I like the cycling route animation at the start of the video and the speed/power/route progress overlay in the road cycling footage...excellent video and epic ride, guys!

[@jockclark3660]

Awesome video. Brings back nice memories of cycling in Singapore. I used to ride these routes many times and is nice to relive through your post

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Glad u like it Jock! Any plan to ride in Singapore again?

[@greatvedas]

Coming from Red White newsletter where they mentioned this video. good work, and nice video too. I really get a feel of Singapore watching this video! Cheers

[@veloman59]

Thanks for the tour around - I enjoyed that 😊

[@rogerjeffreys9536]

Very enjoyable…….keep on riding.

[@secretariat-13]

Awesome ride guys.👍

Thanks 👍

[@deani1627]

Inspiring.

Nice to see the King of Sentosa riding with you. He got the KOS using his foldie :) no wonder he is very strong :)

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Cool insight Jesser 👍 Now I know I rode with the king 👑!

Beautiful city.

That's a very fast ride man!! amazing!!

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Thank you!

[@am1ty]

Enjoyed the video n the speed is respectable, stronk riders you two

[@RideForFitnessSG]

David is super strong. He was at cruising speed in this ride. He gave me chance :)

[@lawrenceseow7252]

I'm very pleased to say that I finally completed the round island cycling of 129 km. Solo cyclist. Started in AMK and headed north towards Sembawang. Admiralty, Marsiling, Woodlands, Kranji and anti clockwise. From Lim Chu Kang to Jurong to Pasir Panjang to Marina to East Coast and Changi. There were stretches which was sheer torture. When I reached Sengkang and Punggol and the homestretch, it was pure ecstasy and a huge sense of accomplishment. But I doubt I'll do it again, not any time soon.

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Congratulations on your solo RTI. One more goal accomplished before the end of 2021! The last sentence I heard many times. Everyone say the same about not repeating after doing first 120km, 160km, 200km.. but after a few weeks, the butt gets itchy and they did it again and again 🤣

[@faisalkamal1996]

Honestly, I'm very pleased by watching overall this video, including the route and speed animation👏👏 I honestly couldn't imagine to ride a bike 100km++ per day. Honestly, driving driving 100km++ per week with 2 sessions which as roughly 50km per 1 session with avg speed 25 to 30kmh, it's really a hard work to do.

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Thank you so much 😀

[@edwinwoo5360]

My idol both David and Nelson👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 hope to ride with you soon !! -Edwin

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Let’s do it!

[@morganchua8176]

Sick video! Thanks for sharing. Any tips to prep yourself for the round island trip?

[@RideForFitnessSG]

1) make sure bike in good condition. Tire at right pressure and chain oiled. 2) plan your pit stop. Make sure u are well hydrated and refueled. 3) pick the right time and route. Avoid busy traffic. 4) all batteries fully charged. 5) have fun!

[@jeremytzy]

very fast bro. well done

[@robetella]

Nice bikes guys!

[@RideForFitnessSG]

We agree!

[@IBANKBOY]

As a new comer, really like this video. Hope we will ride together in future.

[@cyclingchefglenn]

I will try this.

Nice vlog

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@renantcheng5755]

Love the video footage with the Pocket 2. Do you use a power bank while riding? If yes, which one? Thanks

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Hi Renant, Yes I use a power bank. Pocket 2 batt life is about 2hr max. With power bank I can stretch to > 5hr. However seems my internal battery life deteriorated after I use external power. DJI store personnel told me the same. Im using Anker powerCore speed 10000mAh.

[@renantcheng5755]

@@RideForFitnessSG Wow, I did not know about internal battery deterioration with external power. I hope DJI is aware of the problem and will fix it maybe with a firmware. Thanks for the info and happy riding~!

[@PuanChiyung]

Wow what software you use to overlay the data. Very nice!

Awesome ride! What's the size of the Venge?

[@RideForFitnessSG]

49!

[@tatianachuah]

Is there any round island way in sg can go by pcn instead of expressway?

[@wheelfree]

Can use roads under those viaducts. I see them ride those highways I nearly peed in my pants.

[@Whiteroca]

2:40 how is the Yishun Dam stretch? is it safe for road bikers?

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Yishun dam crossing is always risky. Cross wind and close proximity to passing vehicles (2 lanes only). Some cars just like to squeeze through the left lane…

[@saijp8]

What brand is Dave's taillights? thanks

[@RideForFitnessSG]

[@ealten1270]

Sorry but how long does a ride like this take ?? and whats the best time to start

[@RideForFitnessSG]

We took 5 hours in total including rest. To avoid midday sun, start as early as you can.

[@Marco.cycles]

How are redwhite bibs compared to bigger brands like Rapha, maap, blacksheep?

[@RideForFitnessSG]

I have Redwhile, Maap Training bib and Team bib. I can say that Redwhite comfort and quality is on par with the big brand and comes at an affordable price point.

[@Marco.cycles]

@@RideForFitnessSG good to hear! Will definitely try soon

[@yuva]

Those cargo bibs look familiar...

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Hi Yuva, I beg you’ve seen ton of these bibs. I have a pair too 😂

[@yuva]

@@RideForFitnessSG It's still a new product, so I don't see it as often on the roads. You and Mr D. are early adopters. Most new customers prefer The BIB Stealth and only get cargos as their second or third purchase.

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Looking forward to more exciting products from RedWhite Apparel.

[@NANAONG2003]

May I know what cargo bib is your friend wearing?

Its RedWhite - The Cargo www.redwhite.cc/products/long-distance-cycling-cargo-bib-short-men

where did you put your camera sir?

Chest mount

[@Josephlimk]

You didn't stop at CV for a break?

[@RideForFitnessSG]

Not this time

[@t2cycling317]

The chest mount one is the GoPro Hero 9? Video quality good in night shoot

[@RideForFitnessSG]

DJI pocket 2. Low light performance is not bad for a tiny cam.

[@t2cycling317]

@@RideForFitnessSG which one you feel is better for day and night shoot? The GoPro 9 vs DJI Pocket 2

[@RideForFitnessSG]

@@t2cycling317 Pocket 2 performs well at low light with larger sensor and gimbal. Gopro is great on a bright day. Wider field of view compared to Pocket 2 giving the action cam feel. Are you a day or a night person? :)

[@t2cycling317]

@@RideForFitnessSG Great, thanks! I ride both day and night. Will get the DJI

road bike can take highway?
