Celebrating cycling and camaraderie in Singapore
On April 22, 2023, the SAC Pathfinder Sundown Cycling 2023 event took cyclists on an unforgettable journey along the PCN from East Coast Park to Changi Village via Changi Bay Point. This cycling event in Singapore, organised by the Singapore Adventist Conference (SAC), challenged 75 participants, including Pathfinders, Officers from the Pathfinder clubs, and even some parents, to complete a 50-kilometre cycling course.

Aimed at meeting the Pathfinders cycling honour requirements, the event also fostered unity and collaboration among participants while providing a platform for club Pathfinders and Officers to bond and strengthen community ties.
Creating an inclusive cycling experience for all
The event organisers and volunteers ensured a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. Club directors were involved in planning, and announcements were made to invite interested cyclists. Buses transported participants to the event location, and bicycles, food, and drinks were supplied.
Safety was prioritised, with attention to bike condition, emergency services, liquid replenishment, and first aid kits. Guests were also welcomed, with five joining the event.
Miracles, resilience, and community spirit
Despite initial concerns about the weather, prayers for good conditions were answered as dark clouds cleared, making way for perfect cycling weather. This was seen as divine intervention and a reminder that "God will make the way!".
Some potential participants were initially hesitant due to the 50km distance, but with encouragement from experienced cyclists, 75 participants joined. Only six could not complete the ride due to slow riding and health conditions.
The effectiveness of the Pathfinders' first aid training was demonstrated when they quickly applied their skills to provide assistance to two seniors following a minor mishap.
Exciting events lined up for the future
The SAC Pathfinder community has a series of engaging activities planned for the coming months. On May 20, 2023, they will host a global event called Adventurers Day, followed by an outing to Superpark on May 21, 2023. On September 16, 2023, they will celebrate Pathfinders Day, another global event for the community.
These events strengthen the bonds among Pathfinders, Officers, and the broader community while providing participants with opportunities to learn, grow, and have fun together.
