Most of the events and races will be held at the Tampines Mountain Bike Park, located north of the Tampines Ave 7 and Tampines Ave 9 T-junction, opposite Sun Plaza park. To get there, the nearest expressway access is via TPE (Tampines Expressway).Turn off @ Pasir Ris Drive, turn into Tampines Ave 12, turn right at Tampines Ave 9 T-junction. You can view the location of the Bike Park here in Google Maps.

You could get involved as the organisers need dedicated people to form the race crew and these need to be either good leaders or good team players to help make their long endurance event a success. The race crew may have to struggle through harsh weather conditions, tropical bugs and long hours, pushing the limit of one’s adventure in the wilder side of Singapore.

All race crew will receive catered meals, T-shirt  and some cash to tide you over. You can also get a chance to be part of the dirty weekend in the history of mountain biking in Singapore.

Its a great opportunity to take photos of Singapore mountain bikers battling out to take top spot in the various races. It can and will get muddy, so try to keep your gear protected with these from the grime and dirt and don’t forget to enjoy the races cuz thats what matters the most! This would be the perfect companion for the long day alone out at the dirt track.
