Dear all,
The details are confirmed. We will have a filming for Heartland Getaways featuring us and the Pasir Ris estate this Saturday, 13 Oct 2007, from 11am to 1:30pm. Here's the briefing:
1) We will meet at 10:30am at Pasir Ris East CC bicycle shop to prep our rides.
2) Please wear something presentable as we will all be appearing on TV. If you have the CNCSG T-shirt, please wear it, otherwise, something cool and comfortable will do. Nothing crude written on your T-shirts though.
3) Shoes are a must. No sandals, slippers.
4) Helmets are highly advisable though we will probably be on the pavement most of the time.
5) Weather is hot so do have a cap or bandana to protect your head from the sun. Sunshades are highly advisable. Bring a bottle of water to keep yourself hydrated.
6) Check your rides before the shoot. Make sure tyres are firm, enough air, not leaking. Polish up your ride if you want. This is the chance to make the ride shine on media! Check your lights (though we won't be using them) and your brake pads. Oil your chain and gears for a smooth cruise. If you need anything, you can get them from the bike shop that we are meeting at. Bring along your tools if you need a quick fix in the middle of the cruise.
7) While filming, smoking is a NO, sad to say, as we are on TV and we won't want to advocate smoking. If you do need to smoke, do so during the breaks when we are not filming.
This will be unlike our normal cruise. There will be NGs, retakes, etc so let's cooperate with the producers and filming crew. Below is the suggested route that I have given them. It may change based on the actual day filming, any changes to the script and also the time that we have. In any case, let's enjoy the session and ride!
Route of the day
1) We will start from the Pasir Ris East Community Centres bicycle shop as the main meeting up point. Most of the time we start off with a bike shop to do a routine check on our equipment and bikes before a briefing on the route we will be taking, some topping up of food and drinks at the cafe and also for some members to purchase whatever additional accessories they need.
2) We will head down Drive 1 towards Pasir Ris Town Park and enter into the bicycle track Edwin had mentioned around Block 410 and cross into the Town Park for a few spins, doing some sight seeing around the fish pond area.
3) From there, we will head towards Drive 3 and cut into Pasir Ris Park either via Downtown East side or through the carpark at Pasir Ris Green after the MRT.
4) Either way, we will cruise down Pasir Ris Park towards the Fisherman Village and playground, possibly stopping at Kampong Kopitiam for a few drinks and toilet break.
5) After that, we will head down Elias Road to Elias Mall where there is another bike shop, which is also sort of a pit stop should any member needs anything or any urgent repair.

6) Heading down and turning left at Drive 1, we will head back towards the MRT, bypassing Sungei Api Api for a bit of breeze and viewing of nature and make a final stop at White Sands Shopping Centre for some food or chill out at the Ben & Jerrys cafe there. Again, there is also a bike shop in case any member needs anything.
7) From there, we will end the ride for the day.
Last call for final attendance, please drop me an SMS at 90274447. If you need directions, let me know too. Cheers, peace out and see you on Saturday!
