Update: R.U.N. 7th June 08

Some changes to note for the upcoming R.U.N., after-thoughts after the recce team feedback.

Instead of meeting at NTU in the morning, we will be meeting at the Carpark at the Bt Timah Food Centre, which is near the Shell station along Bt Timah Road (near the cross-junction of Jln Jurong Kechil & Bt Timah Rd).

Meeting time will be at 9.30am instead. Please have some light breakfast in case we encounter the Causeway jam. I've marked the meeting place in the Google Map on the right. Look for 'Meetup Point for 2nd RUN' blip on the map.

Lastly, do service your bike and check for any possible problems that need rectify before the trip. Enjoy the holidays!
