Northern Explorer Loop
A green northern PCN loop linking Lower Seletar Reservoir, Sembawang Park, Admiralty Park and Woodlands Waterfront.
A flat, low-traffic ring road around Seletar Airport that riders lap for speed work, ending at colonial-era The Oval.
Seletar’s ring road is Singapore’s unofficial velodrome: a roughly 12 km circuit of wide, smooth tarmac around the airport that local cyclists lap for intervals and pace-line practice. Traffic is light, corners are sweeping, and planespotting comes free with every lap.
Between efforts, the black-and-white colonial houses around The Oval make a genuinely pleasant recovery spin, with brunch spots at Wheeler’s Estate and Jalan Kayu’s famous roti prata a short roll away. Ride anti-clockwise like the regulars and keep an eye out for groups moving fast.

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.
