Exercise Bike Challenge
After the completion of the stub. We are allowed to participate at the Exercise Bike Challenge. Since the indoor bike units are limited (20 participants per batch). The Exercise Bike Challenge was divided into 3 group.
The first batch started their exercise challenge for a total of 20 minutes at around past 2:15 pm. Our batch started the exercise challenge around past 2:40 pm (second batch) and the last batch started around past 3:20 pm. This is some sort of warm-up for those who are first timers.
Competition
The actual competition started with a short warm-up exercise and audio-video presentation. It took about 10 to 15 minutes before the actual competition took place. (20 minutes) the one who had the most pedaled distance in 20 minutes are declared the winners (There were 3 batches). When the winners were finally announced, There are from first , second and third batch who won the first, second and third place.
It was a wonderful experience for all of us who participated at the challenge. I have not participated at the actual competition since i am not a competitive biker and it was observed by some participants and visitors that organizers should not have lumped-up those participants who are not biker by re-classifying the competition into (amateur and professional). Some of the participants have experiences in mountain and in outdoor biking.
