Forty seven cyclists and 19 support crew formed a 66-member entourage from Ride 2 Serve that departed from Singapore on Friday (March 8).
After an ‘Ardaas’ at Central Sikh Gurduwara, the highly spirited team travelled to Port Dickson for a night’s stay before embarking on their cycling journey to Malacca on Saturday 9 March. On Sunday (March 10), they cycle will continue to Batu Pahat. They will hit the road on Monday (March 11) for the return leg back to Singapore.
Ride 2 Serve organises the annual 350km cross-country ride to raise funds for the less fortunate and disadvantaged. Supported by the Sikh Welfare Council (SIWEC), the ride is open to all races, gender and ages. The youngest road marshal to join the team is Abhitej, 13, while the oldest is Balbir Singh, a cyclist aged 76!
