Valparaíso Cerro Abajo – Urban DH Race

 

 

That time of the year again. Chilean style urban nuttiness. Some photos coming off VitalMTB: that place looks HOT, but gorgeous!

but ok. i'll save them the aggravation.. race is tomorrow. it's probably a test feed, cos the cam is in a restaurent of sorts, and it's facing some gringo.

oh and the city of valparaiso secured the race for the next three years. That's a pretty sweet setup, obviously with good dialogue between race organizers and the city fathers. Now that's how it should be done, no bitching and moaning and being all uppity.

 

random thought; wonder if they'll ever string together something of an Urban World Cup.
