The third of four legs of this year's Executive Road Cycling Race Series (XRC 08) saw us back in the Clark Freeport in Angeles, Pampanga. This time with around 4 or 5 new teams registering, the field swelled to over 200 riders again. I guess we're doing something right in our organization of this 2-year old series... more and more people asking about it, forming teams and coming out to race.
The weather on the weekend was just about perfect, with broken clouds tempering the heat of the sun and a light breeze blowing.
The big attraction of road racing in Clark is of course the light traffic and wide, smooth roads. The hills on the course are not as severe as on our other legs in Rizal and Subic Bay, so the climbers don't enjoy too much of an edge here.
All in all, a great weekend. Good turnout. And plenty of kind words from the competitors... something we race organizers crave since we don't get complimented very often. Makes me wonder sometimes. Why do many people find it easier to complain than to offer a pat on the back?
