DirectRooms.com – Bikers head to Siem Reap for SG Bike Ride between 8 and 9 October 2011

There are bike rides planned for both professionals and amateur cyclists. On the first day, professional riders will cover approximately 128.3 kilometres, while fun riders will cover 104.7 kilometres. On the second day, professional riders are expected to cover 42.8 kilometres and fun riders will cover in the region of 37.7 kilometres.

The route will take participants throughout the Siem Reap region so spectators will be able to see something of the race from most places in the city.

Those who are travelling to the area to view the race can choose accommodation further from the city and still have a good vantage point. There are many hotels to suit all tastes and budgets in Siem Reap and public transport for travelling around the area while sightseeing is reliable and efficient.

The city is popular with visitors and therefore it would be wise to ensure any accommodation needed is booked well in advance of travelling. Lek Boonlert, head of marketing at DirectRooms.com agrees that "all too often travellers leave booking accommodation until the last minute only to be left disappointed or with accommodation further from the city centre than they would have liked. Securing a Siem Reap city centre hotel room in plenty of time will avoid problems later."
