Chris and Cricket safely completed stages 3 and 4 to finish La Ruta. It was a grueling 4 days in the saddle and sounds like it truly lived up the billing of “the toughest race on the planet”! We’ll have some pics and some great stories when they get back into town! For now you can read about it on the CBC MTB racing blog http://tinyurl.com/y9hosdo
Chris and Cricket survived the first 2 days of La Ruta. Day 2 featured a 3 mile climb that rose 3000 feet with some sections at a 40%+ grade! One day left! You can read chris’ blog entries on the CBC MTB Racing website.
CBC team riders Chris Wieczorek and Cricket Butler will start the 17th edition of La Ruta de los Conquistadores in Costa Rica Wednesday alongside 225 competitors from all over the world. La Ruta is a grueling mountain bike stage race covering nearly 400k over four days. Race organizer Roman Urbina describes the race saying “It’s not about making it to the finish line, it’s about working with what you’ve got, giving it all your might and surviving the adversities that you might come upon along the way. Lending a hand to someone else, a sip of water, a spare tube, a word of encouragement, a friendly smile… while you compete against yourself… that’s the true spirit of La Ruta.” You can follow their progress on the blog of the CBC MTB Racing website where they will be posting updates.
