Day 2 of the eMTB Xperience Triad will start strong and very early.
\nIt is a long day, with 4 special tests and a period of relaxation and battery charging.
\nIn the early hours of the morning, the competitors will be transferred to the Olt Valley where the first start will be from a beautiful clearing, one of the first at the base of the F\u0103g\u0103ra\u0219 Mountains ridge.
\nSpecial stage 1 \u2013 QUEST \u2013 is 10.2 km long, with a difference in level uphill of about 1,120m and downhill of 275m.
\nIt is mostly in the alpine void area, following the main ridge of the F\u0103g\u0103ra\u0219 Mountains, with the arrival at the monument dedicated to the mountain rescuer Robert Ungureanu.
\nFor the heaviest or least physically prepared, it is also important to follow a battery usage scale given by the organizer in percentages, but in general all competitors should be able to use the maximum power of the bikes throughout the duration.
\nThis is followed by an untimed transfer to the Suru Chalet, on a rather rough route.
\nThis is also the reason why this section is outside the special stages, being a difficult one to ride on a bike.
\nAfter a hydration break and a pie we continue with special test 2.
\nSpecial stage 2 \u2013 SURU DH \u2013 is 9.1 km long, is mostly downhill, with an uphill level difference of only 100m, a few small segments, and downhill of 855m.
\nIt will take the competitors down to the Avrig Valley, close to the Triad eMTB Xperience Base Camp.
\nThe next 4 hours are dedicated to charging batteries, B\u0103neasa pasta, Olympus juices and any repairs or settings of the bikes.
\nOur mechanic friend Sergiu from Bike Alpin is present to give a hand to those in need.
\nWe continue Saturday afternoon with the last 2 special stages of the day, Jungle and Impossible.
\nSpecial stage 3 \u2013 JUNGLE \u2013 5.3 km, a difference in level uphill of about 390m and downhill of 275m, and the descent is worth all the effort on the climb.
\nIt’s technical and awkward!
\nSpecial stage 4 \u2013 IMPOSSIBLE \u2013 5.6 km, a difference in level uphill of about 505m and downhill of 485m.
\nSome climbs of this test will pose some problems for some of the contestants!
\nA total of 30.2 km kilometers of special stages on Saturday, with 2,115 meters of elevation gain uphill and 1,890 meters downhill.
\nThe connecting seeds between the samples totaled about 12 kilometers.
\nThe day will end with Surmont 30, a dinner, a film screening and a bag of memories, all on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the organization of the first mountain biking competition in Romania, 1994 \u2013 Cisn\u0103dioara\/Sibiu.
\nThe event is organized by Surmont Club, the organizer at the time, and PlayBike ProCycling Team with the participants of the eMTB Xperience Triad, officials, sponsors but also people who participated in the first mountain bike competitions at that time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
