Route map from OCBC

the route started from twin tower to kl tower and maybank tower .. turn right to dataran merdeka and climb up to parliment .. make u turn at tugu negara junction, enjoy the downhill along padang merbuk
and make turn infront of BNM to bukit tunku ... long climb but lucky it is shades along the way up and down to PWTC ..

get down to jalan kuching and to jalan TAR .. even early in the morning, the road are quit busy and
fill with moorist and pedestrian .. the route turn to i don't know what name .. but i recognise one of the junction .. the famous dooraisamy .. and back to jalan ampang that lead to twin tower again .. but it is only 12km ..huh what else ? repeat for another loop to complete the 24km ...

Rotor X Team

at this point i saw no one of rotor x team along the way ... hmm they difinitely fast and furios lahhh .. a day before, morning and evening they have made some warming up ride .. i didn't join, i was working on saturday due to some test ..thus, the warming up is just for amatuer riders .. heheheh jgn marah yer pesot ..

Fully utilize the opportunity riding in KL

hmm quite somehing la the route ... i took this as an advantage to tour in kl safely .. with blocking roads, traffic officers on guard, and media coverages .. wow this is really awesome kl tour .. just an execuse to ride at the back and slow .. hahahaha ..and so, i could meet with other riders .. make new friend along the ride .. and learn their prespective of riding a bicycle .. i could say .. many of todays riders are seasonale .. they jump in as a it is a trend of healthy life style ..

how frequent they are on bike? it doesn't matter .. as long as they ride, enjoy and safe ..

World bike travellers

even i, myself .. i don't how long i could ride .. i could only plan to ride and wish i could ride ..
tapi kita hanya merancang, sebaik2 rancangan adalah rancangan tuhan ..

back to the event .. all 24km finishers are awarded with a medal .. and welcome back drink of 100PLUS .. huh .. thank you very much ocbc and f&n .. this event was considered successful and worth joining .. hope they will organize next year .. till then
