A reservoir adventure (upper pierce)

For these 2 months, i have decided to do a little adventure trail around singapore's reservoirs.

I find these places beautiful, serene, alluring and also exhilirating! You will all find out why in the posts. So without further ado - my personal favourite: UPPER PIERCE!

So before you actually reach the reservoir, you have to cycle along a winding path. You will find the path unusually cooling even at 12pm with the sun shining directly above you! All thanks to the lush vegetation on both sides.

Roughly 5-10 mins later: Target reached

Entrance of the Park: The start of a series of 3 crazy slopes.

Just look at the degree of incline of these slopes. So make sure to hold on to your handlebars real tightly. No need to pedal, just let the slope bring you whooshing down as you shout AHHHHHHHHH!!

Adrenaline rush achieved!

yay.

Some fun things to do here is skipping stones. With so many stones lying around, its a great opportunity to perfect that throw. I was taught to throw the stones as parallel to the water surface as possible, so you have to bend to your left or right and keep your hands parallel to the water surface as you throw the stone.

Do you know? Using fishing lures is better than using live bait since live bait will dirty the water when they decompose in the water. However, pollutants are produced in the making of fishing lures. But i think that fishing lures will be more sustainable.

One of the incredible things i saw that day.
