The week that was – M + D Sunday ride 2 March 2010

Prosperous Cycling Community… by the Un’believable

A gathering of the chunky ones.

The planned start for 7.30am did not take off for a very disturbing reason last Sunday. Last time we were there to do
the same loop, ride only managed to take off at 9am. But that was for a valid reason. It was raining cats and dogs then.
So it was eating an extra roti relur while waiting for the rain to stop. This week… We started late for no reason at all…

The old folks started off staring at bikes. Plenty of molesting and lifting of bikes. The old folks are trying to convince
each other that the hill is less painful if the bike is lightweight. They also want to believe that anything with 5inches of
travel and made from charcoal is helpful going up the hill…

Ride finally took off a little after 8am. The conversation this week was nothing else but weight distribution. On the first
tarmac climb itself we were already on deep discussion regarding weight issues.

How do you manage carrying 75kilos of weight on you?

1. Buy bigger cycling pants. Not those skinny elastic roadies swear on. We are referring to baggy cycling pants. To
think that buying one size bigger would serve its purpose? No…. The Painmaster was generous enough to
share this wise knowledge with us on Sunday. The trick is to buy a FEW sizes bigger and call it “Balloon
Cycling Pants”. That way, you will look much much smaller when viewed from the rear. And it works better
when you start sweating. Getting the pants drenched in sweat helps. Pants will stick to you and make you look
shiny and slim.
2. Ask Yellow Manta for diet advice. He will show you the correct posture to collect “chi’ from the air. Seems
negative ions is good for better metabolic rates. He was showing it at the bottom of a huge walk up a hill… A
few actually paid attention. The legs must be properly positioned. Arms stretched out in front. Of course all this
is done AFTER he finished his 3rd kaya bun. Seems shortage of food in the stomach will also render the
position ineffective. So he missed the bit about eating a few buns before you start, which I would like to add in
now.
3. Or according to the English Nose there is a much convenient method. It will not require any dieting or Balloon
Pants. All you need do is search for this thing called DNA. Specifically “Schorr DNA”. Seems this elusive DNA
is what we are all missing on. Notice this fella rides up the hill like a kampong goat and never seems to put on
any weight at all? Aaahh… worth consideration really. Note- riding like a goat will also mean you might smell
like one as well… worth reconsideration as well…
4. Along the way, Guinness was also offered as a solution. Senior Simon swears by it. Apparently, you will appear
slim and muscular for sure if you consume enough of that special magic brew. All you will need to do is knock
back a few cans of those and everything will appear beautiful… Lovely…. This seems a much better
suggestion. Less work involved.

Let’s not forget the ride. Lovely trails. Plenty of climbs. Sweet downhills. We lost a few along the way. Apologies for
that. Ride leaders were baked under the sun for about an hour while waiting for Adrian’s bike to be repaired. It was not
the bike’s or Adrian’s fault really. We made a mistake of sending a Portuguese to attempt communication with a
Chinese dude. Can’t expect much really…. As it is we have a hard time trying to figure the Portuguese out. He still
rides with sandals after 2 world wars have gone by. He still swears by hardtails and hot coffee on the trails. You try
figuring that out. Heck… In the end, he even managed to convince the back markers to bush whack their way through
the rough when they finally found themselves at the construction site which was the way out. The correct trail out was
just right next to him.

Then again… They probably didn’t understand what he was trying to say anyways….

Another suggestion came up. Who would like free coffee at the end of each ride? Last 2 riders to suit up for the start of
the ride gets to pay RM10 each. This will be collected by the sweeper at the start of the ride. RM20 goes a long way for
iced coffee… Who would say no to free ice coffee at the end of a hot ride? I would most welcome it. One vote from me
and one from the Portuguese. (I am guessing that’s what he nodded for…I could be wrong.) Send your vote to 012 227
4443.

See you next Sunday. There could be Free Ice Coffee waiting.

Un’ believable……..

The week ahead – M + D Sunday ride 4 April 2010

Mud + Dirt by The Sub-Editor

Due to Ching Ming, there are no ride leaders this weekend. So for those who are
going to the Interstate 2010, this is a good chance to join the roadies. We will be fully
operational again next weekend. We are also looking for more volunteers for people
who don’t mind leading rides. Please send us an email to pcc_news@yahoo.com.

The week ahead – T + G Sunday ride 28 March 2010

Date: 07 April 2010

Meeting Time: 7:30am sharp (Be there 15mins earlier)

GPS Coordinates: N02deg 55.533’ E101deg 46.252’

Destination: PD Eating House in front of Le Paris Hotel, Port Dickson

Ride Description: MTDC-Salak Tinggi (regroup)-Tmn Gadong Jaya(refill)-Lukut(regroup)-PD(refuel)-Lukut-

Tmn Gadong Jaya-Salak Tinggi (refill)-MTDC (138.5km)

Mostly flattish secondary roads before Salak Tinggi with low vehicular presence. Salak
Tinggi town will be our first regrouping point. After Salak Tinggi, expect some rolling climbs
as we make our way to Lukut town. 1st refill point is Taman Gadong Jaya at 39km. We will
regroup in Lukut and we shall ride in a group to our destination. We will refuel at the PD
Eating House before starting on the return trip. It’s not an easy ride by any means. But as
this Sunday coincides with F1 & Qing Ming, we expect heavier traffic than usual. Your
cooperation in safe riding is appreciated. Single file riding and do allow gaps in group for
cars to overtake.

How To Get There: Take the KL-Seremban Highway , exit at Bangi toll. Go straight past first roundabout, turn
right at next roundabout and make a right at traffic light junction. MTDC carpark is about
500metres from the junction on the right. Park outside the security booth.

Comments: Single-filed riding when we leave MTDC. Roads are narrow and there will be quite a few
cars. But it should taper off once we turn right. From Lukut to PD Eating House, traffic will
be moderately heavy, so please ride single-filed & predictably.

Remember to bring spare tubes, a hand pump, tyre levers, 2 water bottles (loaded w
hydrating salts), muesli / energy bars, money, & handphone. Sun block is recommended.
It’s either gonna be really hot (or really wet) so do come prepared. Remember, this is a self-
supported ride.

Ride leader: Please contact your Ride Leader Don Chan (17-883 0538) & the Tall Guy VongVongVong
(016-287 2066) if you have any queries. See you there!

INSTERSTATE 2010 – TIPS TO GO BY PART 3

Pace-lining Tips
If you are new to pace-line or riding in a group of riders of which you are not familiar with, here are a few tips for you:

1. New to pace line

Ideally, you should not be in the pace line if you lack experience & peloton-riding skills. But since we are training for the IS,
remain at the rear of the peloton and study the way the pace line rides. Do not pull in the front or remain in mid-pack if
unsure, as you will pose a danger to others. Ask around for advice, PCC’ians are a helpful lot.

2. Ask how the paceline operates

Is it single or double? How long are the pulls? You can figure this out, but it's better to ask and get it right from the beginning.
It makes the others confident in you, too.

3. Blend in
Don't try to impress riders with your strength by pulling harder or longer. Take steady pulls and make no abrupt moves.
There’s no to speed up when it’s your turn to pull.

4. Look for dangerous riders.

There may be herky-jerky bike handlers in the pace line. It won't take you long to spot them by their nervous braking and
inability to ride a steady line. They might be new to pace-line riding, so be careful. (See no 1)

5. Bail if you're uncomfortable.

If you're getting a cold reception from riders, their pace is too hard or the situation seems dangerous, bid a cheery goodbye,
back out and continue by yourself. In a century or other event, a more compatible pace-line may soon come along.
Remember, ideally for the IS, you should find a group of 6-8riders who can ride together. This is the best, safest & probably
the most fun group you can be in.

riding in a group
• Announce potholes and other hazards so others can
avoid them
• Call out the hazard and point down to it, either left or
right. No need to yell like a maniac tho.
Watch for traffic from the rear
• The last rider should frequently check for overtaking
cars
• Announce "car back" clearly and loudly

COMPULSORY TAIL LIGHTS

FOR ALL NIGHT RIDERS NO HELMUT, NO RIDE
 Weekly Newsletter – 31 March 2010 / Issue Number: 486-12-2010

Guidelines to Mountain Bike Trail Etiquette

FROM VARIOUS SOURCES IN RELATION TO SHARED TRAILS AND NON BIKE

SPECIFIC TRAILS.

PERSONAL SAFETY
- Wear a brain bucket (yes..that’s a helmet) whenever you ride.
- Do not travel into remote areas without informing others
- Ride within your capabilities. Ensure that if you want to push your
limits, your buddies are around to support you.
- Know your bike and bring the necessary/essential spares.

RIGHT OF WAY IN RELATION TO OTHERS (NON RIDERS)

- Give way to non motorised trail users, i.e. hikers, horse riders, because
people judge all cyclist by my actions.
- Give way to motorised trail users, i.e. motor cross bikes etc, because
generally we will end up worse off in a an accident.
- Alert others when approaching. Get a bell, or “Excuse me” works quite
well.

RIGHT OF WAY IN RELATION TO OTHER RIDERS.

- Riders have the right of way. If you are pushing your bike, leave the
riding line open for others to go past.
- Rider up hill has the right of way.
- Allow faster riders to past

SPEED
- Approach turns and bends in anticipation that there’s someone there.
- Make your presence know when approaching someone or any turns.

IMPACT ON THE TRAIL

- Leave the wildlife and fauna alone. Magic mushrooms are bad for you.
- Stay on designated trails and avoid destroying vegetation if possible
- Don’t take short cuts over/around technical sections. If you can’t ride
it, walk it.
- Learn how to use your front brakes so that you minimise skidding your
rear wheel. If you refuse to learn, then ride only in bike parks where
people are paid to maintain the trails.
- Do not litter. Take out whatever you take in.
- Practise minimal impact riding, take only photos and memories with
you.

FUN
- You are to have loads of fun, talk lots of cog, and make good friends on
your ride.
- Develop of sense of humour. Some people say it’s good for the soul.

FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THIS? DROP US A LINE. WE WILL ADD IT IF IT MAKES SENSE.

Spare Wheels Project

Your friends have heard you rant about the drops and
the endos and have seen the breathtaking scenery
from your flickr, Facebook and not to forget the fridge
door photos.
They finally want to get off their bum and join you for
a ride but running behind you, sitting on your top tube
or dinking them are probably not the best ways for
them to experience it with you. Of course, he/she
could be shit hot, then no one would probably say
anything.
In all SERIOUSNESS, if you have someone who wants
to join us for a ride, please do not hesitate to drop us
a line and we WILL do our best to get them a bike for
the next suitable ride. Take note that there will be a
$15.00 charge to cover expenses such as ferrying the
bike around (only if you are riding with us), washing it
and of course its ongoing maintenance.

In any regards, PCC has the SPARE WHEELS PROJECT

underway. Currently made up of generous owner's
bikes, they are available for people to borrow and
ride. Some of them have been ridden more than the
village…er…never mind. They've been ridden a lot.

Boon Foo has recently offered his assistance to put

Rob (012 6191 308) / Peter (012 227 4443) /
together a few hard tails, and together with what we
have now, we should be able to cater for height Alvin (012 3070 830) / Adrian (012 383 2618)
ranging from Snow White's pals to the Yang Mings
who want to give this ago.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL US AT THE 11th HOUR ASKING FOR A BIKE. ALLOW 2 DAYS NOTICE MIN
