PULAU INDAH 180 SET TO OFFER A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF LTDL

SHAH ALAM: For the first time ever, cycling fans will get to experience a more serious challenge as they participate in the build-up event towards Le Tour de Langkawi 2016 (LTdL), the Pulau Indah 180 on January 17, organized by Central Spectrum (M) Sdn Bhd.

Moving away from the traditional short distance fun rides to hype up the atmosphere for LTdL and to bring cycling fans closer to the event, event manager Ciclista Sports Sdn Bhd have decided to capitalise on the immense popularity of century rides this time around, by introducing the Pulau Indah 180.

With century rides, generally challenges of 160 kilometres or less, held around the country currently attracting participation of more than 2,000 cycling enthusiasts at each event, the Pulau Indah 180 will be more unique in aiming to hype up the promotions for LTdL 2016 by bringing together the masses of true cycling fans.
