SINGAPORE : Singapore's first world-class mountain biking park was launched by the National Parks Board on Saturday.

Designed to standards set by the International Mountain Bicycling Association, the park at Pulau Ubin is guaranteed to give bikers a thrilling ride.

It was no mean feat waking up at the crack of dawn to get to Pulau Ubin, but it was all worth it for a group of bikers.

They are the first to race at Ketam Bike Park, Singapore's world-class biking trail.

But there is more to do at the park than just biking.

The park has attracted many species of wildlife, all thanks to the more than 1,000 shrubs and trees planted by the National Parks Board. - CNA/ms
