The way points of this bicycle route:
Filter 3 lanes to turn right; there usually is a break in traffic from the previous junction's red light.
Goes below the underpass. This route avoids the Adam Road/PIE intersection before Lornie Road and it avoids the the Farrer/Dunearn junction up ahead.
Head to the back entrance to the Bukit Timah Campus.
Upslope!
Scenic pleasant road runs parallel to Adam Road, avoiding the messy intersection with the PIE - in fact this road goes under!
Under the PIE!
Upslope! Surrounded by Bukit Brown cemetery.
You have to use the junction to get across - when cars out of SICC trigger a red light, you have a short winddow to make your crossing but give way to the cars coming out of the junction first.
Mount the wide pavement, give way to the rare joggger (few since x-country route was closed). Watch out for occasional tree branch sticking out at you and on the pavement!
Gentle slopes.
It might be better to use the pedestrian crossing during the red light to shift over to the turning lane on Lornie Road since it otherwise requires a three lane switch over against speeding traffic on a downslope!
I have not tried this route. If this is not passable, I will go further along Thomson Road and use the connection to TP Lor 6 via Toa Payoh W next to the SLF buildings - a tough upslope that I remember from the William Tan rides.
Going against traffic (mount pavement or go slow). Canot recall this bit.
Just remember, two rights to Toa Payoh Central.

I have to get to Toa Payoh Central this Saturday afternoon (27 Jun 2008) for EnviroFest.
I prepared this route by using my usual run to MacRitchie then turning into Thomson Road and Toa Payoh Rise to get to Toa Payoh Central. Have not tried the latter part of this route.
