Mountain Bike Race in San Felipe

There was a good turnout for the mountain bike race held on the
San Felipe del Agua trail network on Sunday, 23 February 2014.

Chapus Bikes fielded a large and talented team. The village of Capulalpam de Guerrero is sponsoring a team this season, which was good to see. The Comex team present for this race was much smaller than in recent years. And, sadly, the Krotalus team was absent, as that bike shop went out of business late in 2013.

The weather was terrific and the trails were in decent shape. The race followed the same route as last year’s event, with one slight modification. A short section of what is identified on this web site as the Rebote trail has recently been re-routed to avoid a downhill piece that was getting seriously eroded.

Both participants and spectators seemed to have a good time — despite an assortment of broken chains and flat tires.
