A short round of riding to help break up the monotony of sightseeing. Nice bayside ride with a couple of simple cafes along the way. The bike rental was OK in price but it was surely worth the experience.
While I didn’t ave the chance to cycle round the entire route, I can certainly see why this would be a very enjoyable ride to experience if done in full.
Did a cruising ride with the intention of going the distance, given the fact that i haven’t ridden for a while, i thought this would help to get my cadence for riding back up.
Somehow, i ended up simply trying to see how long i could go just going along the Park Connector Network starting from Buona Vista. I ended up in Choa Chu Kang and discovered a few parks around that area which was really nice. Took a ride down some routes that i have never ridden before too and ended up at 10-Mile Junction. I made a wrong turn at that point and didn’t manage to make it to ZhengHua Park. But taking on Bukit Timah slopes was something i haven’t done in a while too.
Anyhow, i’ll try to make it to ZhengHua next time. That should give a rather good 50km+ ride.
Route Map and Videos coming up.

The worst part? Was that my Garmin hung midway through the ride and I lost a days worth of ride track. Looking at the bright side, was that I didn’t lose everything, thanks to Strava on my iPhone…Â Continue reading Riding the Shimanami Kaido
Got a LRT224 for its OpenVPN capabilities but ended up struggling with stability issues. Here are the symptoms.
The router would work fine for an undetermined amount of time and would then dynamically freeze. the Logs might or might not show any information except something that says
upnpd[438]: UPNP Rule is not FULL!!!
Not much information other than that. Rebooting the router seems to work for a while, but the router might freeze again after an undetermined amount of time. This can be extremely painful if you have services that you need to connect to behind the router. After lots of testing and trying, it seems that the LRT224 might have issues with uPNP. No one seems to be able to pinpoint the exact problem but there has been some reports of users facing issues. Continue reading Some notes on LRT224. Freezing and Hangs
