Bukit Timah Mountain Bike Trails
Directions:
Make your way to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve Visitor’s Centre located at Hindhede Drive. At the entrance to the car park there is a signboard that indicates where the mountainbike trail is.
Description:
Trail is a 6.5km loop. Mostly singletrack, some fireroads and a bit of tarmac. Some sections are badly eroded and rocky. You are advised to stick to a reasonable amount of pressure in your tire (at least 30psi depending on rider weight) to avoid pinch flats. There are two sections where you will have to dismount and portage your bike - across a fence and up a set of stairs. Trail is mostly hardpacked soil or gravel. Not much elevation gain, but there are several tough, short climbs.
