Overwhelming response to joint road/mtb ride in Kulim

We have an overwhelming response from the first of its kind event in Kulim where fast mountain bikers were invited to join a shorter version of regular sunday Kulim road ride. There were also several new roadies who took the opportuinity to try it out too. Overall 53 riders turned out with 22 MTB and 31 road bikes. We have mountain biker groups coming from Penang, Kulim and also 4 from Cameron Highlands. Noticed that most of MTB could follow the overall pace ranging between 30-38kmh, and also perform exceptionally well at the hills. We have couple of drop-outs from some road and MTB but that is quite normal, keep trying..you will make it one day. There are several request for this type of event(less than 100km) on monthly or bi-monthly basis. MKH will look at the possibility of supporting the request. Finally congrats to all that make it thru the complete 90km loop at road bike speed and for those who did not keep trying. One final observation is that there are some relatively new riders who did not follow safe practices while following a peloton, most obvious is wheel overlapping and sudden overtaking from the left without any notice, do hope that we can all learn together to make it a safer ride. As for the timing we were off by about 30 min due to one wheel overlaping related accident, 2 punctures, crank arm detached!! and basic waiting due to sizable differences in rider abilities. Some pictures of the ride today.....

Saturday May 30th - Round island ride

Simple round island ride. starting from Sg Ara, Dinas Restaurant at 7am. Relatively slow ride so all are welcome. For further ride pls contact Danny.

Clarification to Sunday May31 kulim road ride

There were several questions regarding whether this is a road bike or mountain bike ride? To clarify this is a road bike ride, so roadies pls show up on your road bikes (optional for you if you want to use a mountain bike). We will have strong pure mountain bikers (who do not own a road bike) that will join this road ride. Expect to see at least 10-15 mountain bikers from various group within the region.

Pls refer to older post for more ride details.
