NOTE TO CYCLISTS JOINING THE RIDE THIS SUNDAY

• NO HELMET NO RIDE :- It does not matter how long you have been cycling, how many medals and trophies you’ve won or how ‘otai’ you are. SAFETY FIRST. Yes, ride at your own risk, but don’t be selfish. Remember your loved ones.

• NO wheel/tyre smooching :- Just a slight error while tailing CLOSELY can send cyclists behind, next and in front of you flying. Keep your distance so that you don’t have to use that ’emergency break’ whenever you come across a pothole/obstacles

• NO panicking. Spot any obstacles from a far and give warning to those behind you EARLY. More reason for you not to tailgate !! Again, avoid sudden breaks as the person behind you might not notice this and come crashing into other cyclists

• During the test ride, the one and only stop was at the 70km point.DO REST at the pit stop before proceeding the last 30km on the ‘dragon back’. Endless of rolling hills. Don’t tire out your system too fast, too early. You WOULD want to enjoy the ‘dragon back’

• Be extra careful during downhills – especially on the bends. Some bends may have potholes/loose sands on them.

• Sleep, hydrate and sodium well  the day before 🙂 Sports nutrition drink, endurance gels highly recommended for the ride.

• Something to EAT in case you get hungry during the ride. Banana, roti ..a Mars bar perhaps? 😛

• ENJOY THE RIDE 🙂 See you this Sunday !
