Part 3/7:
As the countdown began, the competitors, many of whom were novices on bikes, geared up for their unique challenges. The training experience was marked by lighthearted banter and nervous energy as everyone adjusted to the cycling chaos awaiting them. With 45 friends invited to join, this year's event promised to be more ambitious, with new obstacles set to increase the difficulty and fun factor significantly.
The organizers introduced obstacles such as a "mine field," a techno-party-themed section filled with lasers and smoke, and a powerful headwind turbine known humorously as “the ventilator.” These elements promised to disrupt the riders as they navigated the course, ensuring that laughter and camaraderie intermingled with competition.
