It had been a fantastic race! This year's Tour de Burgos mountain bike race is better attended by more cyclists than last year. It also has more participants compared to last year.

The race started at 9AM, and lasted up to 1:30PM. As planned, participants competed on three categories, but instead of giving prizes only to the top three winners, we were able to honored the fourth to tenth placers with medals. The Sangguniang Kabataan of Bgy. Burgos provided us with medals, aside from trophies.

Owing to the changes made by New Apec developers to Sorrento Village, the race area, we were able to further lengthen the race circuit to 1.8 kilometers. This made the race route longer than last year.

This year's race area was more challenging than the last, with four contiguous drops and climbs, in short distances from each other. This was where most viewers watched the race. Video above shows this area.

Kabalikat Civicom in Rodriguez also graciously provided us with superb marshaling and medical support, even at short notice.

MCC thanks the sponsors of this race, without whom this race would not have been possible: Dindo/Kevin Bike Shop (in San Mateo); CEIFER Builders; Lady Lynn Catering Services; 3K Lights and Sounds; Zydric Angelo Bike Shop; Prince John Bike Shop; Rodriguez Municipal Councilor Arman Angeles; New Apec Developers (of Sorrento Village); Sangguniang Kabataan of Bgy. Burgos; and Kabalikat Civicom.
