Event Backdrop: Landscape as the Canvas, Competition as the Brush
On the morning of December 7, 2025, the Shuidandian Mountain Bike Series — Autumn Cross-Country Race kicked off with passion at Shuidandian! A hundred cycling enthusiasts gathered, including numerous professional riders, all witnessing this pinnacle clash of speed and adrenaline! The 3.7km course wound through open fields, dense forests, and woodland paths, featuring technical sections like berms, endurance climbs, and S-turns. Every corner and each climb seemed like a challenge meticulously set by nature itself.
Race Highlights: Chasing Dreams in a Blur of Speed
As the starting gun fired, riders shot into the course like arrows released from their bows. Facing consecutive S-turns and soft, loose soil on forest trails, the cyclists showcased solid bike-handling skills — shifting their body weight deftly through the curves, the chain emitting a rhythmic whir during climbs, and sweat refracting the morning light to reveal expressions of sheer determination.
Congratulations to Gao Jian from the Jianlibao CK Ride Traces Cycling Club for securing 7th place in the Men's Middle-Aged Group!
Post-Race Echoes: The Ride Continues, The Passion Unfading
"One moment you're weaving through green shade, the next you're greeted by pastoral views. Every turn holds a little surprise!" After the race, club members chatted about the course, their eyes sparkling. For them, this event was more than just competition; it was a journey in dialogue with the mountains and waters.
Wheels Keep Turning, Toward the Next Passion
What CK Ride Traces left at Shuidandian were not just tire tracks, but a sincere passion for cycling. "The landscapes of Pukou are both a stage and a starting line." Every rider daring to take on the course is a champion. What they conquered was never just the 3.7km of mountain trail, but their own limits.
