There the finish at 3rd is named Kanchanaburi - and thats different to Srinakarin Dam. I have been there at 1.12. tracking all Streets would be interesting for the race, but until there is no better exacly description about the routes by towns or/and streetnumbers i cant give out any help by a profile or what ever. I am Sorry, but i will put an estimated km and hm when got the last parts ready. Bye Thomas Report to moderator Logged

I will update, when I have better Information 1. Stage - Timetrial : sure flat, but what is the Distance ? 2. Stage - Bkk-Srin : first flat, easy going up - but around Kanchanaburi and closer to the Dam like last time at 1st day Egat 2008 to Nakhon Nayok and Dam; 170 km ? 3. Stage - Srin - Sri : directly after the start down of Dam (is a Parking area) it goes left on the street to Sri Sawat very steep, later often short climbings and a older but wunderfull curve ! streeet to Sri Sawat. Here after Start and later about km 58 the field will seperate; 64 km should be enough for this day ... 4. Stage - Srin - Suphan : same Start at Parking i think, and until passing area of Kanchanaburi some friendly hills, rest is more flat on the highways there ... - 170 km ? 5. Stage . Suphn - Nothan : flat ..., about 80 km The Red lines in the Pictures are Hills with an Up of 15 and more Percent gradient! « Last Edit: December 13, 2008, 12:10:13 PM by bisekletaguy » Report to moderator Logged

I am just back from the Meeting with Comitee "Tour of Friendship 2009" from 08.-10.01.2009 in Bangkok, Kanchanaburi and Supahnburi. I just sent first Information to Khun Kai - she has to promote and to offer Information to Public. But the Hotels i saw and Position is really good. Therefore later more, when I have ready the Maps. Also the Distances are sure about a few meter, but here I am not ready with an last check. Also Khun Kai will publishing than later. Quote from: bisekletaguy on January 08, 2009, 06:48:19 PM atty tiboy, thomas wants to race in TOUR OF LUZON so you have a sparring partner. ... raymond see Raymond, this is not sure until now because I promissed first Willy (Laos Team) to visit them from 25.03. 30 Days in Vietiane. So only if something happen to this appointment I could come to Philippines. Sorry about Misunderstanding ... It seems like that I can come again about 20 of July(07) to you again that I dont loose to much Visadays I have. I just need then again your help with the Letter Invitation and possible Register and take part some Race that the Embassy dont have to complain again. Even to the Meeting (ToF 2009) I travelled by Bus here in Thailand 23 hours to bangkok and 16 hours back - only to get more new ways for the tracking into Tripplaner here. I got 1.060 new km. So you can imagine when I go to Laos or later again Philippnes I will do at the Restdays also - tracking what I can and photos from your hills to promote them like Baguio. But lets keep at Topic: "Tour of Friendship", Guys - the Stage 2 and 3 will be hard - you will know soon.
