The Third Edition of the Reto Multimedios Laguna MTB
The date for the third edition of the Reto Multimedios Laguna MTB, the most important mountain biking event in the region, is approaching. It offers interesting challenges for local and foreign competitors.
The preparations are ongoing, with constant work meetings to fine-tune details, such as track maintenance. The recent rains have changed the landscape a bit, which has surprised the team in charge.
The humidity has led to the growth of flora, requiring the technical team to maintain the trails passable, like the downhill called 'La Imposible'.
In addition, as part of the support team for this competition, the Scout Group 100 UAL will participate, ready for the race that will take place on Sunday, October 2nd.
The race will start at 08:00 am from Plaza Mayor in Torreón, with the finish line at the Ciclopista Cenobio Ruiz Martínez in Lerdo. Anyone with a mountain bike in good condition can participate, and they must wear a helmet, gloves, and goggles as a requirement. They can choose from three different distances, depending on their category.
Group A will cover a distance of 100 kilometers, Group B will cover 70 kilometers, and Group C will cover 40 kilometers. There will also be a family ride of 20 kilometers.
There will be chip loan only for Groups A, B, and C, bike number for them, and a participant medal. Refreshments will be provided during and after the race.
