Ensenada, Mexico Race Report
by jerome Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:46 am
I raced in Ensenada last week and it was awesome. Super friendly and committed riders that don't let you down when you are thirsty!
No nonsense organisation, people show up when they wake up, hop in a truck and ride their bike! Efficient not swiss timing and quick resuts. Better time of 2 runs format because these guys understand that the purpose of this sport is to ride fast.
Track was fun, fast, some steep sections, some rock gardens.. good stuff. I brought them some old tires and parts so the kids were stocked, they can probably rip one more years with tires gringo like me are too wussy to ride. (BTW, if you have some old parts/consumables you want to grant to your brothers from the south of the border, I can bring them next time I go). To summarize: it was good and I plan to go back asap (they organize one race every month). Did I mention delicious lobsters and Margaritas!

I had a weekend house in Ensenada for a few years. At the time alll I had was an XC bike and mostly rode around 1st Ave. That was almost 8 years ago.
Did the Rosarito, Ensnade ride 5-6 times on the XC bike with street rubber.
Looking forward to racing DH down there.

The taping was subtle but it was good enough. After 1 or 2 practices it was not an issue anymore.

Dam there are some tight turns. A lot of cactus? Where the heck did that other rider come from as you were barreling down the trail?
Great video congrats!

No cactus on this hill. The other rider is Izai Acevedo , a fast local kid. We practiced together, I led the first section and he led the second half since he knew the trail better... By the way I got second expert!
The next race is July 29th.

No unfortunately, no girls at this race. It was a small race so I can not assume girls never show up and I already raced there few years ago with a girl. You should come next time to inspire the mexican girls to rip the mountain!!
