Raj Kumar sadly was very flat going into the race having undertrained due to illness and bike problems. He fought it out for fourth position in what turned out to be a very tough, fast and furious race. The Elite Men’s was won by Aja Pandit, Narayan Gopal in second and Padam in third place.
Our other Elite Men’s riders, Pratik came in a well ridden sixth, fighting off some very experienced riders and Saroj, who was participating in only his second ever race rode hard and finished 9th, as a reward for finishing in the top ten, we will now buy Saroj a new bike frame to replace his Merider which is old and too small for him.
Biking First Team had much better success in the beginner/junior race with Aayman blitzing it for first place, Sunil Lama came in Second and Alin Majharat in third making it a one, two three for the Biking First Jersey. New comers Padam and Bikash hung on as best they could in a fast paced ride to finish in the top twenty and Saroj Rai who led the race at the start, had a little fall near the lake and ended up in 7th place.
We are so proud of all our boys and hope they are not too tired for this weekend’s eco challenge. Sadly as all of us where riding in the race we do not as yet have any photos, but we hope to get some soon.
A huge thanks must go to Country Villa Hotel for helping with some sponsorship to send all boys to Pokhara. Thank you too to the Race Organizers and all volunteers for making the day a great success.
