Mind over matter: Hanoi to Singapore by bike

4/21/2015

I had the pleasure recently of meeting Morgan Calton and Tom Walters after they'd just ridden their bikes nearly 3,500km from the Vietnamese capital Hanoi to Singapore in three weeks. I met them at the border and then spent the next 90 minutes riding into the Singapore CBD with them enthralled as I found out why they had just undertaken such a mammoth task and as they retold some of their experiences along the way.

Flag day for the USA as Izzo and Foley clinch MetaSprint crowns

The Stars and Stripes were shining at the 2015 MetaSprint Series Triathlon as dominating victories on the day from Brett Izzo and Jacky Foley saw the Americans crowned overall series champions at Changi Beach on May 19.

The day didn’t start so brightly as the athletes awoke on race morning to a huge thunderstorm that caused a 45-minute delay to precedings. But in typical Singapore fashion, by the time the elites did get the action underway, the sun had reasserted itself and the sea was pancake flat, setting the scene for a marvelous morning’s racing.

A short drive/ride from the Causeway connecting Singapore and Malaysia in the town of Pasir Gudang lies the Johor Circuit, a 3.9km racing track, that despite being situated in another country is building a case for itself to be centre of the Singapore road racing scene.

The latest event to take place there was the Cycosports Pasir Gudang Circuit Race on April 5. Click here to read more or visit www.cycleasia.com to view more cycling content from Flat Spoke Media.

Perfect Perth

As the popularity of cycling continues to grow in Southeast Asia, the urban planners of the big cities such as Singapore and Kuala Lumpur have grudgingly recognised they must cater to the needs of this burgeoning group, but the progress is at best lamentably slow or at worst, nonexistent. If the powers-that-be up here are looking for a regional blueprint then they could do a lot worse than casting an eye straight down south to the Australian city of Perth.

Cycling is simply an accepted part of life in Perth and this is reflected in the extensive number and range of cycling events throughout the year. One of the most important is Velofest, a week-long celebration that has three showcase pieces: the Telethon Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma, a non-competitive charity event; the Woodside Tour de Perth, a four-day professional stage race and part of the Subaru National Road Series that helps showcase Australia’s best talent; and the UWCT Perth, a qualifying event for the world amateur cycling championships.
