A 200-kilometer bike ride took place in Mirny

– This is my first brevet of this year, I tried to ride 1200 kilometers in Uzbekistan this year, but I was poorly prepared, it was a difficult distance. I have been here five or six times. How many races there were, so many participated, – said the rider from Severodvinsk Vadim Malakhovsky.

The format is also interesting because the roads for brevets are never blocked for traffic, and therefore the organizers never tire of reminding that all participants make an individual run. Runners are required to comply with all traffic rules. Four athletes participated in the run in Mirny – two local and two from Severodvinsk. Among the participants of the race there is only one girl – Ksenia Oparina.

— I have been a member of the Pomorye Runnery club for two years, but only for the third time I managed to complete this short distance of 200 kilometers. I am very happy, proud of myself and thank all the colleagues who helped and supported me all the way, – said Ksenia Oparina.

All participants of the competition met the specified time, and therefore will be registered in the main French cycling club and will receive a road card with an individual qualification number for the completed cycling marathon and a medal.
