Madrid Xtrema: MTB Marathon Spanish Open

Date: September 2, 2012

Place: Chinchón (Madrid)

Time: 8:45

Distance: 76 kms

Number of bikers: 600

In the last two days before the MTB Marathon Spanish Open, the distance was reduced from 102 kms to 76 kms. It was not good for GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR because we have been training hard every day during six months for long distance races.

Several failures in the signposting avoid 30 bikers to skip one control point and save 5 kilometers.

The race directors apply a “Stop & Go” penalty on us and after more than 15 minutes, they allow us to continue riding hard.

Finally, despite of my good final classification, the race directors decided to disqualify us due.

It is unfair how the bikers were paying the failures of a very bad race management.

Anyways, GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR keeps riding hard to be in the top in the incoming races.

MTB Guadalajara: Molina de Aragón

Date: August 26, 2012

Place: Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara)

Time: 10:00

Distance: 40 kms

Number of bikers: 120

It is being so difficult to get and keep save the leader jersey in the Guadalajara MTB Championship. The sixth scoring race of the Championship was placed in Molina de Aragón and GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR would try to keep save the leader jersey.

Riding in the head of the race, a lot of bikers lost ourselves and we should ride around 7 extra-kilometers.

In the middle of the race, I was placed in the 38^th position but I could finish as 3^rd classified in my category. The goal to keep save the leader jersey was successfully achieved and we will wear in the next race.
