Today was what we've been waiting for - the biggest mountain bike race in the world. If you are into mountain biking, and not just into a cliched genre, then it's hard to deny how cool it is to see so many people come together, just to ride bicycles as fast as they can. Over the event, over 100,000 people will pass through the gates of the Roc D'Azur and to see mountain biking so popular is amazing.
So there we are, that's the Roc D'Azur done for this year. I think next year I may even have a go at this XC racing business, it looks like it might be fun...
is it some kind of "uncool hazing" I must endure to be a PINKBIKER?
Not sure how many spectators the Birkebeinerrittet here in Norway gets, but there were 25,386 participants this year. I recall reading somewhere there were about 18,000 in the Roc D'Azur last year?
