Le Tour de Langkawi 2008

Please click here to view photos taken by yours truly (KC Leong) in the Stage 9 (Final Stage) of Le Tour de Langkawi 2008 (LTDL).

Stay tune for Part 2, and photos from Jason Lee and Weng.
The parade just before the start of The Event.

I went with Jason Lee and Weng on Sunday 17 February; we arrived at Dataran Merdeka at 2 p.m. With the blazing sun, it was really hot.

We walked around and eventually, identified our spot for taking great photos. The problem was, we have to stand there 45 minutes (under the hot sun) before the start of the event at 3:30 p.m.

It was indeed an exciting event. The cyclists were moving in fast speed - minus the thounderous sound as in Formula One car racing in Sepang Circuit.

There were lots of spectators at Dataran Merdeka. Whenever the cyclists went past, they cheered out loud to give the support.

The whole race took 1.5 hours to finish. At 4:30 p.m., the sky was cloudy that provided the much needed shade. However, with the excessive clouds, there was a risk that it might rain. Luckily, it did not rain and the race completed smoothly. When we left the scene after prize presentation, it was 5:30 p.m.

In unision: The handles of the cyclists can even form a straight line
