The lure of the wilderness claims us again! Ok not quite the wilderness, but the great park connectors in the East. You get the drift. Some like minded friends finally get together today for a spin on the newly minted tracks around the East. Ah how I love the rush of adrenaline that accompanies a downhill sprint, the wind that rushes through your hair, the colors that rush by you and the general feeling of being detached from the manic rush to mug. It's wonderful to just, for that few hours or so, not worry about impending deadlines or other committments. It's refreshing, to say the least.
Changi park was simply breathtaking. For want of pictures (because the batteries died), it sufficed to say that I felt like Frodo exploring some unknown woodlands, well besides the lack of a clear path and a bike =P. But there are somethings that one has to experience on his/her own to fully grasp the beauty of Nature in its entirety. Words won't and can't do justice to it. While we cannot change the fact that life will be full of committments, we can, even for a short while, allow ourselves to explore the paths less trodden and to lose ourselves in the process.
