The 2016 Summer XC – Cycling Goa (Photos)

Day 3, the last and final day of the 2016 Summer XC MTB Race that was held at the Mhadai Wildlife Sanctuary, located at the border of Goa and Karnataka. This was a race with handicapped timings, hence everyone had a change of a podium finish, not just the professionals.

The rains showed no mercy, and it poured like crazy for a long time during the morning. But that did not stop the bunch of folks organizing/assisting from making their way through the jungle.

The Krishnapur Jungle Track is roughly a 22 kilometer dirt trail, where you gain a little over 500 meters of elevation. Below is my Strava activity from Race Day #2.
