We will then return the same way (minus the hill). The distance for those coming from PJ will be around 140k. Fyi next week, we’ll be going back to PD.

Please let me know if you plan to come along at what point you will join the ride. Cheers.

Simon says: - "Blimey, a bit of an early start for a medium distance ride! Oh well ay, what to do! I'll be there! As for Sunday's run I'm on an easy week this week so it'll be a 21k only for me starting from Bukit Aman carpark at 6:30 to (and around) the petrol station in Sri Hartamas and back. The following two Sundays though will be 42k runs i.e. two laps of the above".

Rides N Runs
"Hi Folks
Thursday
It’s a holiday on Thurs so there is an extra mid-week ride. Destination will be the T junction just beyond Ijok (on the road to Kuala Selangor via Sungai Buloh). The turning point will be at the junction with the road from Klang (Route 5). It’s a fairly flat road so it will be good aero-bar practice for those doing Langkawi. The distance will be around 100k-120k depending on your starting point. There will only be a drink stop at Petronas Ijok after the U turn. Breakfast for those who want can be back in Taman Tun or Damansara.
Meet at Kota Damansara toll (after the barrier) at 0645.
Saturday
The ride will be to PD (circa 200k) with the usual meeting points and times.
Mega Mall exit off Federal Highway at 0600, Cheras 2nd toll at 0640 and Shell station opposite Country Heights at 0700.
For both rides, please let me know if you plan to come along at what point you intend to join the ride. Cheers.
