Auto Bavaria recently held its first-ever private cycling event, The Auto Bavaria MINI Ride, featuring the new MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid.
The by-invitation only event was aimed at enabling its participants the unique experience of stage cycling with the support of the Countryman Plug-In Hybrid, very much like at an international multiple stage bicycle race.
The event began at the rise of dawn with participants meeting at Auto Bavaria showrooms across the Klang Valley and beginning their journey driving the Countryman Plug-In Hybrid with their personal bicycles mounted on top to Plaza Batai in the Damansara Heights area.
At the starting location, the MINI Ride participants were treated to fruits, juices and energy bars before the cycling event commenced. Led by a pacer, the participants climbed a maximum elevation of 137m in between the route from Plaza Batai to TTDI Park.
The event continued with a 1km MINI sprint challenge supported by Harman Kardon, followed by a cycle back down to Yellow Brick Road Cafe where the participants enjoyed brunch.
After brunch, they got back into the car and returned to the Auto Bavaria showroom where they received more insights on the features and capabilities of the Countryman Plug-in Hybrid.
Auto Bavaria will be organising more of the MINI Ride in the coming months. To take part in this unique event, please visit your nearest Auto Bavaria showroom.
