More of a mudfest than the previous races, this race had obviously a smaller turnout. To kick off the events, we had the Rookies' (read: Kids) race first... Then, we had the Junior Veterans' race. And minutes after, it was the Senior Juniors (older Juniors) who were zooming off on their bikes, followed by the Junior Juniors (younger Juniors). Of course, it does give a little pressure from being sandwiched between two older and apparently faster riders...
The ladies went next, since there were only the three of them, they took the race in a seemingly relaxed pace, I don't know
The Senior Veterans took the next start, and away they go!
Just at the BMX track right beside the Crosscountry race route, were the BSX riders... don't ask me what BSX stands for...
With an event that has flight as part of the challenges,... Injuries do happen, so we have to be thankful for the prompt medical aid rendered...
And moments after, the Open, Sports and Singlespeed categories started off together!
When riding in a race, when you're leading, sometimes you have to "pull" others along by shielding some other riders from the wind to save their energy in the race. If the leader of the race doesn't want to "pull" anyone... you have to be smart and move yourself right behind the leader...
One of the problems is that muddy water from the ground is thrown up into your face by the rear wheel of the rider in front of you...
Some riders have a jovial outlook to the race... While some others are constantly at their physical threshold...
Keeping your eyes, looking out for ground that may pose problems to riding is important, so keep your eyes peeled...
Expect a mudbath from the race, due to the intermittent weather...
You can ride in pairs... Or you can ride in a group
Yet, not too far away, was the Biketrial Sidehop finals...
At the end of the day, we must remember the sponsors...
And get the prizes ready too...
Remember your two-wheel cousins...
Because we're one big family
