About this route
Riding around your entire country in a day is a rare flex, and in Singapore it is genuinely achievable: popular round-island routes run roughly 130–150 km, stitching the eastern park connectors and Tanah Merah coast to the northern countryside roads of Neo Tiew and Lim Chu Kang, then down through Tuas and the west coast back to the city.
The flat majority lulls you; the Neo Tiew rollers and the hot, dusty, truck-heavy Tuas stretch are where the ride is won or lost. This is an experienced-cyclist undertaking: start pre-dawn, plan water stops, ride the industrial west on a weekend, and the finish-line photo is yours.

- Weekend pre-dawn starts are the move: Tuas and Lim Chu Kang are far friendlier without weekday truck traffic.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
