I am considering organising a road time trial for 18 Feb 07 but will need at least one volunteer to assist with timing and possibly other things.

You'll need to be at the start by 7am. The event will finish around 10am. You will NOT be able to take part in the time trial.

The location will probably be Old Gombak Road (climb to G. Sempah) or Putrajaya.

fren..18/2 is first day of chinese new year larr...... can get ppl to race or not ?

fren maybe he ang-mor lor... where got celebrate CNY...christmas ma... got oranges at finish line or not....

that explains why there are no other events on that day!! so not a good idea on that day, but i still need volunteers for another day!!!!!!

dreambiker.... i tot mahjong table at the finishing line with beers and peanuts...or a table for playing 21....

adrian...if you want to do it, held it on 10 march...

hi,

sorry - i work all day on saturday's so if i organise it it'll be a sunday!

can't help u with dates .. .but can suggest site...SG. Tekala picnic area to Bt. 18 turn off and back. U will get 15km uninterupted.....just have to post marshalls at turn around so they will be safe and will turn around safely....

that'll take you by the dam right? nice, very scenic route. rolling terrain, perfect for a TT. you could even include a climb if you put the finish line at the top of genting peres.

including genting peres wud certainly make it an interesting TT...but i think adrian works on mondays...that's when some will finish the TT if we include peres.....

a peres or sempah climb TT would be good but my idea for the first one is to have a fairly flat course, around 15-20km, to try to attract new and less confident riders. i think a hill tt would scare some people.

i am trying to work out a good course in kl.

possibly a saturday tt as many folks will want to do their long rides or other events on a sunday a.m.

so the sg.tekala to junction wud be your best bet for ideal circuit at the moment...minus the peres part .you will get 15 km nice road surface..scenic route and minimal traffic....a KL circuit is difficult to find without traffic lights ,without junctions and without traffic....why dont you take a drive there or better ride there one sat morn or eve to check the route.... ... on the question of getting newbies to the TT....well already hard enough to get them to ride a normal slow paced ride let alone trying to get them to a TIME TRIAL... what's that a speed test or what...waaaa...'im still begginer...

anyway...check out the route and fix a date...

agree with dreambiker. the sg tekala route would be best for a first tt.

sg. tekala sounds good.

i know where you mean but dont know the picnic area or Bt 18.

if you go from Bt 14 (usual ride start point) up the hill and down the other side to the t-junction, dam in front of you, where is Bt18 & picnic area?

whats your name dreambiker?

i know what you mean about difficulty attracting new riders, but i will emphasise that this tt will not be a SERIOUS event, and that it will be enjoyable if you are slow or fast, fat or thin, old, young etc...

i plan to invite way2ride and the duathlon/tri crowd too.
