It was the perfect weather for a fun family day out cycling. We decided to head out to Punggol Park and explore the vicinity.
The North Eastern Riverine Loop was our cycling route today. It is a 26km route that covers the heartlands of Buangkok, SengKang and Punggol.
Punggol Settlement, at Punggol Point Park was our starting point. We rented some bicycles from Jomando Adventure and Recreation and started our fun cycling trip. The place was pretty crowded with cyclists, families having picnic, fishing enthusiasts, children having fun playing at the sandy playground.

Fishing time for the families and friends |
Along the way we saw many empty plot of lands that were yet to be develop. So we are sure there will be many changes in the next few years. In the meantime let's enjoy the greenery of the surroundings.
The North Eastern Riverine Loop brought us along the reservoirs and waterways. It was a very scenic ride. The children had fun riding along the meandering paths.
Sunset Strip along the North Eastern Riverine Loop |
Sunset Strip was a nice place to stop for photo taking. Overheard a young boy mentioning he saw otters in these very waters! So do keep a lookout if you are around the area.

A recumbent bicycle spotted |
Sengkang Floating Wetland was another pit stop. Here we met an amazing friend peddling in an interesting bicycle, called a recumbent bike. You never know this could be the next big thing to hit the cycling scene in Singapore. We had the privilege to try out the recumbent bike and it was not easy, because the whole balancing dynamics is different from normal up-right biking. But it was fun learning and hearing from a passionate rider.

Crossing over the Adventure Bridge brought us to the Punggol Waterway Park. Here we found a sand play area, exercise corners and others.
Restaurants at Punggol Settlement |
Dinner was at the Punggol Settlement where we had Peranakan Cuisine. There were many restaurants catered for any cravings that one may have. With a nice breezy night, we were happy to have our meal outdoors.

Mother nature plays a very important part of our life. When we learn to slow down our fast pace of life and refresh our souls with mother nature, we will be able to appreciate all that we have right in front of us.
