I had heard about the Duo Xtreme Bonaire mountain bike race,
and having experienced the climate for a month, I knew this was going to be a
grueling competition. I happened by the race in progress on my walk and stopped
to check it out.
The race had two courses, 50 and 70 km and was a duo race,
where cyclists raced in teams and had to start and finish together. They had several divisions from junior to
masters for men, women and mixed teams with cash prizes. This year, they had
112 participants from Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, United States and the
Netherlands.
I saw lots of smiles among the volunteers and cheers as each
team came in. What a fun day for the competitors and their friends and
families.
