TdB 2014 is another blast!

The Tour de Burgos 2014 mountain bike cross-country race has been another blast! More than 80 cyclists from Montalban and nearby towns and provinces competed on the four race categories.

The race circuit is 2.1 kilometers long, which is a combination of cemented roads, single tracks and pits. The pits served as the most challenging part of the track, with six drops and climbs.

After a short program, the race was started by the Beginners Category, followed by the 40 Years Old and Over Category, then the 29 Years Old and Under Category, and finally the 30-39 Years Old Category.

It was in the pits that majority of the viewers stayed, watching how the participants struggled against the drops and climbs.

The race served as a fitting opening salvo for Bgy. Burgos' fiesta the next day.

Two participants received minor injuries during the race.

Kagawad Arnold Rivera and Kagawad Amang Torres, who also watched the races, led in awarding the winners their trophies and medals.
