Thursday the 10th of February: nice atmosphere for breakfast but the riders are already concentrated… at 8am (local time), they’ll start walking with their bikes on their backs for a really steep climb towards the volcano dome, going up from 1800 to 2800m high, on the top of the peaks.
About 2 to 3 hours of climbing is planned before the start of the first run that will take them down close to the sea with a lava section, then a bit of track to go through a village and a final dive into a singletrack in the jungle! Stay tuned!
