There are 4 stages and long ways to go. This year route is at least 60 to 70 percent different. So dont expect the same route as last year. Stage one climb is more intense but shorter so the pain and also the frustration of congestion is hopefully shorter. Stage one is basically the reverse of stage 4 last year. So for those who did not ride stage 4 last year you will have the chance to ride it this year. This year toughest stage is stage 2 and 4. Stage 3 is now shorter and easier ( relatively lah at least). In Stage 2 there will be a longish technical decent like last year stage 1 but more technical and tighter so it will be fun for those technical heads. Stage 4 will be long and hot so I once again pace pace pace. This year chicken route/finish route is also somewhat different as we do not need to comeback via the dangerous highway. We will come back from the housing estate back of Kajang perdana near where all your cars are parked.
So this year ride will be a different experience and I hope it will be as memorable if not more than last year's for you guys. See ya at da ride this weekend ! Ride Safe!
