Mountain bikers will start the race at the old Saipan Radar station, rocket down the Laderran-Tanke trail, pass Sirena, Kalabera cave, and emerge out at the Bird Island lookout.
From there, the bikers will pedal on to the pavement until turning left and traveling up and through the Kimikaze trail and linking up with the coral road behind the Marianas Country Club.
When they reach the million-gallon tank, the bikers will turn left and pedal up and back to the Radar Station.
The recreational riders will complete their race there but the hardcore racers will go for a second lap for all of the top prizes!
There will be t-shirts, cash prizes, and top prizes for the top finishers on tap and a whole lot of goodies from sponsors.
“This is my final event for year 2010 [that I will organize], but we’ll get going again in 2011. We’re gearing up for the inaugural race that will go down in Mountain Biking history [here in the CNMI]” Race organizer Brad Ruszala told the Variety yesterday via email interview.
The community is highly encouraged to join especially recreational bikers seeking for Mountain bike race experience.
