Ollantaytambo, Peru played host to the Inca Avalanche presented by Kenda Tires and over 15 nations. The Inca gods smiled on all of the racers but in the end Slovakian rider Filip Polc (Evil Vengeance Tour) and Chilean Florencia Espineira (Oxford-Chile) captured the Inca Avalanche trophy for their individual categories.
Chilean Florencia Espineira (Oxford-Chile) retained her title as queen of the Inca Avalanche for the second year running - 2nd Carol Thomas (Amazonas Explorer) 3rd Ana Acurio(Urubamba) 4th Diana Samardzich (Kiki Rides) 5th Daniela Rojas (Oxford-Chile)
The Inca Avalanche offers a unique set of challenges, a 5000ft descent, starting at nearly 16,000 ft above sea level, a completely open course littered with bogs, steeps, rocky and exposed terrain ..oh and 150 other riders to bump elbows with!
