PCC Road ride Our last ride before we head on to our 3-day challenge in IS14. You might be glad to hear it’s a short ride. It’s been a while since we last visited this route, so enjoy this exhilarating ride. The two monstrous climbs at Ulu Yam & Gohtong will ensure whatever IS14 throws at you, you can snigger & overcome with ease. Our sponsor, VW, will be making their presence felt on this ride, so smile for camera and the pretty ladies, although your lungs may feel like exploding Ride details: Date: 24th August 2014 Sunday Start/End: Shoplots next to Petronas Jalan Dataran Selayang, Off Jalan Sungai Tua, Batu Caves Google Maps: “Petronas Jalan Sungai Tua” GPS: 3.237657, 101.673694 Time: 7:30am sharp (please be there 15minutes before) Route: Petronas-Jln Sg Tua (B23)-Batu dam(B57)-Ulu Yam town(Regroup & Refuel) @ junction of B57 & B113)-Turn Right to B113-Turn right to B66-Gohtong police check (Regroup, Rest & U-turn)- Ulu yam (R&R)-Petronas (95km) Ride leader: Darth Visu (016-287 2066) While we most welcome your friends to PCC, we hope you will ride with them and encourage them along the way.

Rear Lights Safety Notes: Ulu Yam and the climb up Gohtong via Batangkali are tough climbs. Thus, expect very fast descents & factor in the possibility of rain as well. Avoid using carbon wheels & bring your aluminium rims and make sure your brake pads are adequate & working. Bring rear lights & rain jacket. Descend with extreme caution, alternate braking well-advised and slow your descent speed well b4 the bends. Speeds in excess of 70kmh is easy. On the main road (B57), please ride single file & furthest left. Cars travel fast here. Please ride predictably & use hand-signals always. Keep your descending speed down by alternate braking from front to back and in pulsating pulls of the levers.
