Organized by the NTU riders, Dam Good Nite is an outing that takes riders around the 3 dams in Singapore: Kranji Dam, Yishun Dam, Marina Barrage. Meeting place was at NTU house with major delay die to our miscoordination, some latecomers and misdirections. A total of 20plus bike, reaching 30, came for the event. Upon joining up in NTU house, we set off to Kranji dam through the chilly Neo Tiew road. It was cold, foggy and spooky. Definitely not a ride for the faint of heart.
Upon reaching Kranji, we had an introduction of riders and ice breakers between the NTU and NUS riders. There are also some SP and SIM riders that joined the event. After treating ourselves with free drinks and crackers, we headed off to Yishun dam via Mandai Road. There, we travelled to the newly constructed road, Seletar North Road, to arrive at a desoluted area, where we played some games; plank and pylon simulation, to accumulate points for the prize of the day.
Each of the riders took turns to run the course, with near misses and wobbling bikes. After a hearty event, we took time to indulge in supper at Jalan Kayu. As always, the place is irritatingly crowded, hence the group took awhile to find seats and have their food. The last pit stop was at Marina Barrage. Abit of miscommunication here, as some of the riders got detached from the lead bike and missed the KPE exit. Hence, the lost sheeps took a long (hilariously long) route to Pasir ris and then to Marina Barrage. Amazingly, they managed to reached only 5 minutes abfter our arrival. Interesting to see them not breaking off home..
Marina Barrage is the final destination for prize giving. Prizes include an AGV raincoat, tyre repair kits, landyards, stickers and more. Overall, it was indeed a fun-filled night, despite all the hiccups and delays. Kudos to the NTU riders for organizing such event for the riders.
To sum it up.. It was a Dam Good Nite! Ride Safe Everyone!!
