JFT,

I won't make it :-( because of kids' sports. But don't forget about me, keep
sending those ride schedules. I will certainly join you pretty soon. Take care
always.

Merci,

Winston C.

Dear Friends,


Kulai part 3 of 4 is planned for this saturday 24th january, departs
longhouse 6am, return noon in Singapore.

Riders who took part to edition 1 and 2 will be able to see gradually

ride.

Please note that this ride is for experienced riders, and the pace
will be base endurance for 3/4 of the ride, and some push in the
quiet hills before kulai.

Average shall be around 30-31km/hour.

we regroup then for coffee, and go back to Singapore.

check list : please read carefully !

- passport
- green card
- white immigration card
- pump
- 2 tubes
- repair tool
- tyres in good condition
- ringgits

Kind regards,

JF

Hi!


Just as you may have forgotten Sunday morning 25th January 09
@ 07:00hrs, Newton Circus, exit-Bukit Timah.

Patrick Poetzsch and I will lead.

See you Sunday

Gérard




Pagi!

Shaping your legs for what is coming
during the next few months, lets start
with regular long rides. I am aware JF
did some Kulai rides already, but we haven't
been able to join so far.

Sunday morning be on the Newton roundabout at
07:00hrs sharp. (corner Bukit Timah)

The plan is to do the 150km ride
in a steady speed of 32-35km/hr.
"Perhaps" some surges in the hills.

Bring with you a valid passport,
if you have a pre-prepared immigration
card,spare tube, some Ringgit and
sun tan lotion.

Oakleys, Rudy Projects,golden teeths
and golden bracelets better be left at home.

If we have no punctures and a descent
prata brake, we should be back, nicely tanned
at Woodlands border around noon-time.

More questions? Please do send me an e-mail
or sms.( HP 96322715)

Gérard Hanssen

Further to questions raised by a few of us, please takenote of the
following info.

Dear Friends,

Welcome to first 2009 Audax Randonneur Singapore ride !

The super randonneur serie opens on 28th February with a 200 km
brevet, certified by the Audax Club Parisien.

Start will be 6am at Longhouse, upper Thomson road

Maximum time of completion will be 13 hours

Entry : 5 SGD that covers card, and certification of the distance
covered by Audax Club Parisien.
Medals can be requested for the cost of 10 SGD

The ride is unsupported, each rider will be given a Brevet card, a
route indication.
The riders are collecting stamps on the card as a proof of passage at
the designated checkpoints.

Failure to collect the proof of passage will result in the non-
validation of the ride.
-
There will be checkpoints at :

- start at longhouse
- shell station after immigration in johor
- Kulai (any shop/ outlet)
- Singapore  Jalan Bahar caltex petrol kiosk
- Longhouse final check point

Route is basically Kulai + shorter kranji

Front and rear lights, in proper working order, helmets are
compulsory.
A bike check will be done to ensure road worthiness of the bikes
(tyres / brakes ).

Enjoy !


Rgds,

JFT
