Had lunch at 2:00pm and solat at Masjid India Dato' Ahmad Awang as it rained again heavily.
At 3:15pm I rode towards JB CIQ and queued amongst motorcyclists to get into Singapore. The entry was smooth, and I reached Woodlands Centre at 3:50pm. Not long after, it started to rain heavily again. I proceeded to Kranji MRT and got to the beginning of the Rail Corridor (North). The ride to Tanjong Pagar started at 4:25pm. My 28mm slicks on disc brake wheelsets could actually take on the light gravel and rutted route. Not knowing much about the corridor's terrain, I simply rode on the path even on the grass section near Villa Verde Park. I continued this until about some time later as I wisen up and rode on the shared path instead up until Hillview Road. Thereafter I stayed on the corridor towards the end at Spooner Road. Found my way to Tanjong Pagar and passed by Everton Park, eventually reached the destination, Rapha Clubhouse Singapore at about 6:50pm. I was greeted with a very warm welcome by Benson and Jarrod, who offered me cookies and coffee straightaway. Spent just a short while there, took photos and exchanged thoughts. If not for the unavailability of luggage space, I had brought home something from the year end sale they're currently having :)
7:30pm and I rode back to Spooner Road and hopped onto the Rail Corridor. The route is not lit at night, to make it as natural possible for the wildlife. Perhaps as it is still early in the evening, there were quite a number of people on the corridor; running, walking the dog, cycling. I rode up to Hillview Road and got off to the main road, riding on the shared path up until the end of it at Woodlands Rd, not from Mandai Rd junction. I found this quite a delight, as it is a safe path to cycle on with no interruptions, save the cross-junctions.
I headed to Plentong at 11:30pm, taking the shortest route i.e. across Sungai Tebrau on Permas Jaya bridge. Here it was a big contrast from what I had experienced a few hours earlier; I had to slowly and carefully ride on the uneven drain cover slabs as the road shoulder is close to non-existent, with lorries and cars still many of them crossing the bridge even at this hour.
At 12:08am (Friday), my solo tour concluded in Plentong and spent the night at my MIL's house. Went back to Seremban by car on Friday and reached home safely, alhamdulillah.

80km in 5h00m.

My thanks to Muhd Noor Woon, Mijer, Richard Toh (fb: Cycling SG to Malaysia) and the guys at Rapha SGP for helping me out for this leg of the solo tour.
