Another post to write about and share the photos from the many random exploration rides that I did on the Cervelo Aspero gravel bike. Check out the first part here!
On the railway bridge near The Rail Mall, on the Green Corridor.
Gravel bike at home on gravel
Around Pandan Reservoir, with the fine gravel track. Rideable on a road bike as well.
These WTB Venture 47 tires are overkill for this light gravel track, but fun nevertheless.
RX8 gravel shoes for gravel riding!
Along Pang Sua PCN, but on the opposite side which is unpaved.
This stretch has the best gravel track, as it is bumpy enough for the tubeless tires and Redshift ShockStop suspension stem to really shine.
View of the Pang Sua Canal
Full gravel setup, including the PRO Stealth Off-Road saddle.
Pang Sua PCN completely deserted on a weekday afternoon.
Did some exploration, and ended up really far along this little path.
This is right at the end of the Pang Sua canal, where it flows into Kranji Reservoir. This is more than 2 km from the main road.
Red arrow shows where I was, right at the end of the canal.
The walking path is surprisingly well-cleared, although I don't see a reason for anyone to venture down this path.
Beautiful scenery!
Feels like I'm at the countryside in another country, as I cannot hear any traffic or see high rise buildings.
It just feels so liberating to be able to ride anywhere on the gravel bike. As shown from the pictures above, this route was totally unplanned. I saw a path and just went along it, curious to find out where it led.
Added some pictures of the newly completed PCN on the other side of the Pang Sua canal.

Not a soul in sight under the afternoon sun!
