Hi Caroline,
Usually i would put it in more details but the last few months was a bit hard.

It's not that hard. It's around 20-25km of slow cycling. At least the first 10km everyone sticks together then the last 10 they would go in groups. We do have a lot of regulars who unofficially act as marshals.

20km is not hard at all once you're in a group. We're not racing, more on catching up with each other. There's not much of hills, anyway so you should be ok.

Mr. Scott's Rider,
Thumbs up for the link! Thanks man.

See you guys there alrite? If i find you guys, i make sure to say hi. :D

Hi Daoh,

Thanks for the feedback.
Do you have any address to rent a bike for this event?
Don't have one :(

Thanks again,
Caroline

Oh... Hmmm... Not sure on bike rents around but i can recommend you few bike shops that sell affordable and reliable bikes.

If you're a beginner there's no need for you to splurge on expensive bike.

My advice is borrow from a fren. Take it for a ride. Try a 5km ride, if you like it you straight away you get the vibe, even your friend's bike sucks. If you don't, I don't think you want to cycle even further.

Don't ride and think that you're racing against time. Relax and take your time to complete your ride. That way you're not anxious on a bike.

Just make sure you're comfortable on a bike and safety first.

Anyway, this is for a first-timer and beginner. Not sure you are but i hope this helps. :)

Dear Daoh,

If i must say, it is a good effort doing all this for all the cyclist (esp here in Putrajaya). and gain nothing out of it.

i got the chance to join it for the first time last Friday and it was fun. but, if i can comment lil bit, some riders didnt wear their helmet. Im sure they are not 'beginner' or 'first timer' and they should give a good example to others by wearing necessary gear to ride, kan?

going in a big group (even we started @ 10pm) sure cause some 'jem' when we pass by the area (except when we have already left 'downtown'. If i may suggest, we should start someplace where it have less the traffic light or less traffic to begin with. some didnt bother bout the red lights and some did not sure how to cross the big roundabout with cars speeding wanted to go their way.

Im not sure there were medical crew during the ride, but it sure good to have one (in case someone get injured or anything). although you mentioned there are some 'marshals' in the group, but i dont think anyone is doin anything except looking after oneself.

like you said, we make it a mass, not a mess.

Looking forward for the next ride!

Tschuss!

abot said...

i agreed..
we should observe all traffic rules..such as "stop" at "red light"....ride in right lane: not against traffic flows and
where helmets...

and light up your "rear" so other motorists can see u at night time!
