I read that in order to qualify for 168km, u need to complete a certain stage by x timing. Will check for you too.

Matt i know about that already and yes...u need to complete at a certain timing then u will be able to go for 168km.....if u unable to....then they will make u a route that is not 168km and after that ur route will be 128km....

i got a group of friends that going for the 168km....and of coz the speed will be about 30km/h - 35km/h....for me i can go for 30km/h.....max is 32km/h 33km/h so i need to train on that......

Have yr friends taken part in previous rally? would be good if they are able to share some experiences. 35km/h is quite fast for me, sld be ard GL riding speed!

pengarang trip you will be able to meet him...he is one of the NTU bike rally which he took part last year.....yesterday he cycle to Muar already today he had reach KL with his group of friends......tomorrow going further in order to cover 1000km......

Invite yr friend to join the forum, his inputs and tips wld be greatly appreciated!

Hi Mary

No worries, train at your convenience. My regular training time is morning 730am at ECP. Next week will be targeting for 75km mark.
If I am not wrong, MBS is training in the evening at West Coast, timing wise will be challenging for me. Let take a look when they post

Anyone who requires the registration form pls let me know. I can print a copy and bring along on 09 Ride.

Registration fee will be $15 for NTU Student/Staff/Alumni, and $26 for Public.

I am doing my Sat Training. If you are interested, feel free to join. Will not stop for any heavy meals. For every 15-20km, will stop for a water break. Do bring along some chocolate or energy bar. Warm up around 745am. Will hit the road (along PCN) by 8am.

Date
8 Jan 2011. 0630am.
Starting
Fort Road Carpark. At the end (away from toilet)
Route.
Fort Road Carpark > Changi Point > Loyang > Pasir Ris > Bedok Reservoir and Loop back.
Distance: Around 70-75km

--------------------

Updated. I will be starting at 630am.

Hey Matt,
After your this about 70km training....u see when u wan to go for mini round island.....

wah, Uncle Clarence. Jio me liao ar. Sure on, but let me see if I can survive this Sat. LOL
You Jio GL. He sure go!

im going for 168km anyone want join?

Hi Jimmy

You cannot select 168km, you need to qualify for it. I have called up the organizer. This is what will happen.

At the Jurong checkpoint, there will be 2 lead cars. You need to be fast enough to catchup with the first lead car. Meaning those riders between the first and second lead car will qualify for the 168km. They will go for another extension and then regroup with the 128km riders to complete the route. Hope the explanation is clear.

If you have other queries, you may contact Chen Shao @ 9145 6373.

Kk good I'll try

Btw how many ppl are going?

Hi Jimm.

I only know that Mary, Me and GL is going. Clarence and his team is going too but not sure how many.
He will also post on the Rides section on training. Feel free to join us:) It's time to tune the engine.

U riding yr fixie?

Are you guys going to ride as a team or will it be OTOT ?

Hi Darren

That will depends. As all of us have different stamina, we may need to go at different speed. For eg. my bike and my engine can never catch up with GL (cant even smell his butt, LOL), so will have to look for someone ard my speed to pace. Some of us may want to compete with time while others just want to complete the distance.

Again, it will be wonderful to ride as a group to keep the spirit high and complete as a whole. JOIN US LAR!

MBS (My Bike Shop) is organizing training rides too and they have provided some tips on their blog.
