Night Ride at Ara Damansara


Thanks to Alan Ang we have a cycling route from Kelana Jaya Medical Centre through Ara Damansara and back (13km). Have a look at the photo and let us know if you are keen on joining us for a ride during the week day. We will confirm the date as soon as we can get 5 riders.

Update (7th August 2008):
We had 6 riders and cycled approximately 17-18 km taking approximately 1 hours duration cycling in cool weather without much interaction with traffic flow. I shall have to upload my data onto my laptop to obtain the exact information. Looks like we will make this a regular Thursday night ride (if it doesn't rain).

We're happy to have a Captain Alan to take the lead and Yong to make sure everyone is alright. We had 2 mechanics on standby and had several tubes and a pump in case of tyre punctures. I didn't feel that good because I had to work until 9.00pm and was a bit tired but nevertheless we were refreshed at the end of the ride and adjourned to the Mamak joint. We may split into a starter group for new riders and a regular rider group for those who are fit. The next time we will have our Marshalls having the yellow or red reflector vest to direct traffic if the group gets bigger than 10 riders.

Minors need to have your parent's permission to join. Those who are above 35 yrs are advised to get clearance from your doctor and use a heart rate monitor for the ride. Guys and girls who want to join in the next ride can contact me at 019-2103787 or draston@gmail.com.

Hey Doc,
Me and Yong did the recce last night by car and we notice that route is safe to cycle. Only a few areas you got to be careful but other than that, the roads are brightly litted and very little cars (good for us!!).

For a start we can do the 13km ride first and if you guys want a little bit longer, you can ride around Ara Damansara loop twice which would add another 4km (if I'm not mistaken).

The starting point has a mamak which you can gather. The lamb chop is only RM8 and taste pretty good too actually. Drinks are standard price. Good thing of all, there's ample parking for everyone and the area looks safe too.

Sounds great (the ride and the lamb chop)! I can ride this Thursday nite if you guys are ok. We meet at the Mamak at 9.00pm OK? Need to start earlier so that we can still reach home before 11pm.

Hey Doc,
Sure, no problem. 9pm then !!
We should be there slightly earlier.

I've already email you my mobile number, so if anything, just give me a call !!
