Streets 61? Well... that's because the start point is at Yishun Street 61, and the mid-point is at Jurong West Street 61. Introducing the most epic route of the Year 2010 to Jurong West by bike.

(Not drawn to scale)

Jun Le, today very high, right? This is our longest route we ever cycled. New achievement!
At first, I thought it is not possible for us to cycle that far.
Now, we experienced it.
Who says it is not possible to cycle from Yishun to Jurong West?

The whole route from Yishun to Jurong West, we noted that:

1. There are a series of slopes along Mandai Ave & Mandai Road


2. Part of Woodlands Road is bumpy.


3. Along Woodlands Road towards Bukit Panjang, there's a long stretch of construction site for upcoming Downtown Line train depot.


4. There's a new ITE College West at the controlled T-Junction of Choa Chu Kang Road and Choa Chu Kang Drive.


5. Jurong Road has no proper pathment to cycle, we are forced to cycle on roadside. At least, it is the ulu version of Jalan Kayu.
