Pubcycle 2022

The 9th Tour de Damansara is scheduled for 4th December, for those that wish to join.  We’ll be visiting the pubs tomorrow to confirm their participation. Then the detailed route planning, poster preparation, sponsorship and riders…

Here’s the route, for 4th December

Spitalfields in SS22 is a new addition to the route.  We’ll go through the University to Bangsar and Gravy Baby, with a diversion via Lucky Garden Roundabout ending at Gravy Baby - always a generous crowd for the collection

From there, along the Never-Ending River of Life to Bukit Bintang in the centre of town

and then from there the longest stage to The Social in Desa Park City; Bukit Tunku is a lovely leafy suburb, and we’ll be going there by the gentlest route.  There are then hills past the Duta Government Offices, but you’ll be pleased to know that the rat run past the school on the way into DPC has been opened up, so no need to alight.

The back road through the village has been closed by construction these last few years, so we’ll be coming down the highway to TTDI - I must remember to go through the toll gates and onto the back road, to avoid the new DASH highway entry lane, which makes the LDP highway really quite fraught.  That’ll take us to the newly-named Belland…

and finally back to Sid’s On The Hill, where it all started, eight years ago

You’ve got one week to get to the event, or send your contribution.  To be honest, it’s not about the bike ride, it’s about the kids

One of the pubs has declined to support us, citing competition from World Cup promotions on their ‘free beer’ budget. That allows us to shorten the ride somewhat.  But if you are joining, it’s even more important to bring lights, as we will have more drinking time in the end pub…

The day went as well as could be expected, the rescue driver found his way to all the pubs, we had a bit of banter regarding beer provisions at stages 1,2 and 3, and I completely forgot the route, but how far wrong can you go when so few pubs sell cider?

 

The Totaliser is still counting, but we’re up to Thb 100,000 for the Shelter, which is pretty good with only four cyclists.

 

And it’s less than 12 months till Pubcycle 2023, if you want to join…
