6th Tour de Burgos a Success!


Yesterday's MTB offroad race was a success!

More than a hundred bikers and enthusiasts came to watch the game, and around 70 bikers joined this challenging, technical race.

Among the challenging parts of the course is the double climb, the second climb short but steep. Many unashamedly pushed their bikes up this second climb.

There is also the 10-foot drop that immediately turned upon reaching the bottom. Many watchers positioned themselves here, also feeling the rush the bikers fast going down.

There are also the many jumps around the track owing to the pilapil of this dry rice field. One particularly nasty drop caused at least two spills.

Then, as this is a dry rice field where the land is uneven and broken, bikes vibrated and riders were jarred throughout the race.

Overall, MTB riders enjoyed the toughness of the course.
