Cycling lumba haram?

What is lumba haram?

Started in 2007 when there was a drought of local cycling races the previous year, the term was coined from the Malay word for illegal racing. Nothing illegal about it though; it's just an unsanctioned club members riding individually along Lim Chu Kang stretch, as a chance for riders to test their fitness in a relatively closed, repeatable and relatively safe environment. It gives riders a chance to test their time trial abilities, and what to expect from a time trial. Using the results, it has since been used to group riders of approx the same standards together for team time trial - and that's the main reason why we're having this now! Lim Chu Kang is a quiet stretch of road with hardly any traffic except during Cheng Beng, when Chinese visit the graves nearby. There is a service road parallel to the runway and this forms a 4.835km loop. If you are coming from Longhouse, travel along the stretch of Lim Chu Kang until near the end. If you see a turning into service road before the army camp, that's too far already. This is the turn into the service road that is part of the race route. Moving back 300m, there will be a very small sideroad where we will gather and that is the start point. A time keeper will be located here and will note the time each time you pass by. This is the start and ending point. The route goes in an anti-clockwise direction, i.e. from the start, ride up the left turn into the service road. Be careful as this area could be sandy and there may be TIBS bus exiting. Safety above all. Go into the turn and you will hit a short, gentle slope. Head on until the end of the road when you make another left turn back into the main LCK road - again, take care to look at traffic before moving out to the main road. Travel along the distance and you will be back to the start/end point. Repeat.
