Special guests: Pro-athletes of XTERRA MALAYSIA 2013

What: XTERRA MALAYSIA 2013 POST-EVENT RIDE: SAVE KIARA

This post event ride not just as a recovery and social ride with the Pro’s, but also to show support to the trail maintenance community of Bukit Kiara. This area has been developed by the local biking community over recent years into and is now an oasis of wonderful bike trails.

When: Monday, 29th April 2013
Time: 9.00 am to 11.00am

How Do You Join?

We are pleased to announce that in collaboration with UP2U Bike Tours, Malaysia’s first fully-supported and guided bike tour service, Xterra participants (Yes, that’s You!) will be entitled for a special price of RM150 instead of the usual half-day tour rate of RM300.

Despite the specially discounted price UP2U will be donating 50% of the price to the TRAKS “Save Kiara" Fund as sadly this area is under threat from developers.

Sadly though housing and business developers are moving in to the area and we would like you to help us raise public awareness of the importance of protecting this green paradise of trails.

The tour will be supported by a qualified mountain bike guide/coach with a ratio of 1:8 riders. Transportation to/from a pick-up point at KL Sentral is also provided if you need it.
