Every year the local skating club organises a mountain bike competition on the beautiful track of Chamonix. I Joined this competition every year I went here. First whit the juniors but now with the seniors of course. The track is pretty flat in the beginning but at the end it is only up-hill. I Saved some energy in the beginning and I had to let go a group of 3 bikers. After the first seriouss climb where a lot of people have to walk I managed to gain a place. After claiming the 3th position I didn’t lost it again. The two other bikers where way to fast to even catch up with. Maybe I should practise it some more to get closer to them next year. It was a nice day cycling with my international friends from shorttrack-speedskating.
At night we had the victory ceremony of the mountain bike and the running competition. And almost everybody was there to get his price.
