This weekend is my last MTB race in the season. La Ruta De Los Conquistadores is its name, probably the toughest MTB race in the planet. Here are the stats of this year race and some pictures of me last year. This year Thomas Frischknecht (Swisspower) will attempt to become the first non-Costa Rican to win the overall title. I hope that a local pro wins as usual. Our best bet is Deiber Esquivel, who won the Pan Am Championships in Mexico City only a few week ago.well, wish me luck.
