If you're a person who loves thrill, adventure and has a passion for motorcycles and would like to test your limits, I would say, go for a DIRT bike adventure trip at Tristan Park.
So how, where and what are you expecting in this expedition? Basically their services is to test your skills, endurance and how you go about being riding a motorbike in a trail jungle terrain.
It's situated at 71 Jalan Kekabu 7 and that is basically the "safe house" or the place where you can shower, put your valuables and gear up before the expedition.
Best to plan with a group of awesome friends who love adventure. Those who do not posses a riding license, need not say, the guide will teach you and within minutes you will be riding away.
Once you guys set a date, go to this website and book a day with them. http://www.tristangroup.com It's best to also chatter a car/bus to the site but those who want to drive or ride up, you can park at the safe house as there are ample space for parking too. It's safe too as the safe house has CCTV installed so your belongings and vehicles are all protected :)
And so, we started the journey by meeting at the Bus bay of Woodlands Checkpoint and waited for our bus.
There's 16 of us. Chattered bus to and fro was $400 so, its $25 per person. And its for the WHOLE day.
Behind the camera is the safe house. Its a terrace house whereby we geared ourself up and placed our belongings in there.
After preparing what to bring through the trip, we headed to the bike shop to collect our bikes. Some of the bikes are at the bike shop while the rest are waiting for our collection in the jungle.
While they rode their bikes, we hopped on the pick-up truck and it was a crazy, bumpy ride into the jungle.
This was the first resting point where we took a photo together. God knows where was it but from what I can remember, it was near the "Plentong go-kart". You can research on that too.
For lunch, we stopped by at an abandoned quarry. The view is spectacular. Beautiful clear blue water and I just can't stop looking at it. One of the best scenes to view :)
What do you do with such beautiful scenery? Selfie lah!!!
For shelter wise, we ate lunch in a big pipe. Lunch wise, you have to source for the food yourself and bring it with you.
As much as we are seasoned riders in Singapore, everybody did fall and some in an unusual way. Most were funny and stupid but it was awesome. Of course, we did document our falls and yes, we were laughing at it just like in the photo.
We are thankful for the guidance given by our guides. I can say, they really brought us to really weird places where we did test our physical and mental skills. It was challenging and really tiring.
During army, they say; "Shag cannot think" Yes, we were shagged as once you fall, you pick the bike up and then fall again. It did happen to some of us but hell, it was a great experience.
I had a few falls too and yes, I got injured. MC for a few days but nonetheless, the experience, the journey and the excitement I had with my colleagues are memorable.
To those readers out there who loves adventuring out of our busy fast-paced Singapore, do give Tristan Park a try. I can assure, you will not regret the experience.
Visit their website and I hope this review of about my trip would make you guys wanting to go and have an adventure. http://www.tristangroup.com Definitely a great activity especially for a group of friends. :D *thumbs up*
And yes, they also have packages for non-riders too! So not to worry, you'll be given basic riding lesson if you don't know how to ride a bike AT ALL. Do check it out!
As a rider myself - Ride safe, ALWAYS :)
