What can we expect to Interstate2007 this year round.? Well, for the first Leg of the journey, an intro to heavenly torture of endurance. The organizers will start the journey (tentatively I heard) from Casuarina Hotel Ipoh at 7 am on the 31st August. So, cyclist may want to arrange own logistics and accomadation the night before. Some of us may just drive down early the same morning though. Lets have a look at the prelude of the route profile. This first day journey will cover a distance of approximately 150km and is expected for most cyclist to finish this leg in about 7.5 hours.
The profile for the first day is doable even for social cyclist. Its only the endurance that has to be trained for. The only major climb is near Bukit Berapit and is no more then a 100m accend. However, correspondingly, since its more of a Holiday on Bike, the picturesque view of the first day journey should be able to cool many a cyclist heart when you get to view some of the following:-
Some rolling hills to be expected. What is biking without rolling hills ;-)
Some bridges to cross near Kuala Kangsar
The ride up near Padang Rengas to Bukit Berapit, the only major climb prior into Taiping.
After all this view and ride, we would be able to get our get together and chit chat at the hotel accomadations arranged by our organizers. What a relief after the first day to see the sights of out condotel and place where we will refuel for carbo.
The rooms to rest our legs.......
The swimming pool to cool down our bodies, yes guys and gals, bring your swim suit along.
Wow, really looking forward to this years ride. There are already 300+ registration. Hope I don't have anymore incidences.
