Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stepping on the Point
Wu Lin pointed to himself, and then pointed to Wang Yiyuan, the three of them present, and compared everyone to a stinker who could beat Zhuge Liang, this little joke made the atmosphere between everyone suddenly feel much more relaxed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Next, Wu Lin also gave you an introduction to the surrounding information about the game that he had heard in the past few days and the situation of the competition venue that he had inspected.
It is not the first time that the International Mountain and Outdoor Sports Challenge has been held in Leye County, Baise, and the original time for the competition to start is on the third day of the third lunar month every year. However, this year's challenge has increased the content of the amateur group, and it is necessary to further investigate and plan the specific items and travel routes of the competition, so the organizing committee has postponed the start time of this year's competition, and notified the major professional teams by email and other means in advance and issued an invitation letter.
After all aspects were ready, the organizing committee began to officially promote it on the website, attracting some second-tier teams and amateurs to participate in the challenge.
Wu Lin has come to watch this event in the past few years, because of his previous reputation in the mountaineering world, many people in the organizing committee know Wu Lin, and the relationship between everyone is relatively harmonious. After signing up for the amateur challenge, he contacted a friend in an organizing committee and learned about the specific competition items and travel routes, and had already come to Leye County in advance and visited the field.
Wang Yiyuan took out the competition schedule distributed by the organizing committee from her pocket and looked at the schedule on it:
When: Saturday, May 21.
Events: Hiking, mountain biking. Venue: Buliu River Immortal Bridge Scenic Area.
When: Sunday, May 22.
Events: trail running, downhill (rock downhill). Venue: Huanglu Cave Tiankeng National Forest Park Scenic Area.
Competition: Competitive climbing. Venue: Leye County Rock Climbing Square.
A total of five events were held over two days and three locations.
What makes Wang Yiyuan very happy is that the downhill event mentioned on the Internet when she signed up before was canyoning, and she has been suffering from not having the opportunity to train, and now she sees that the downhill event in the competition has been changed to rock downhill, which should be a big surprise for herself.
However, for the three places of the competition venue, she didn't know where they were at all, so she had to ask Wu Lin:
"Brother Wu, I don't know the distance between these three places, where is the right place for us to go first? I haven't looked at the local map yet, and the competition will start tomorrow, I'm worried that I won't be able to finish the field trip to the competition venue in one afternoon. ā
"You don't need to investigate everything, the climbing plaza is located in the city, and it uses artificial rock walls to climb. This kind of competitive rock climbing project, there is no need to investigate in advance, and when the time comes, you only need to spend more than ten minutes to observe the route, and there should be no problem.
"And I looked at the competition rules, and the three events that accounted for 25% each, downhill and rock climbing accounted for 15%, and since the time is limited, you don't need to spend the limited time on improving your climbing performance.
"According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, in addition to rock climbing in the city square, hiking and mountain biking are carried out in the same place, and cross-country running and downhill are carried out in the same place, and there is still some distance between the two places.
"There isn't much time today, and if you go to both places, it may be a little too rushed. My personal suggestion is to familiarize yourself with the cycling and hiking trails first, after all, the two events there have a high proportion of points, and they have already reached half of the total score. ā
Wang Yiyuan looked at Nian Shumo and Chen Yang, and saw that neither of them objected, so she decided to adopt Wu Lin's suggestion, and when Wu Lin was consulted, Wu Lin also agreed to accompany her.
Leye County did not find a place to rent a car, Chen Yang was full of arrogance, directly chartered a taxi, and the four of them got in the car and rushed to the competition venue together.
The location of this hike and mountain bike was arranged in the Buliuhe Xianren Bridge Scenic Area, which is 51 kilometers away from Leye County. The Buliu River Grand Canyon in the scenic area is 16.9 kilometers long, and many tourists will come to this canyon to play rafting in summer. It is also the venue for the canoeing event in the professional category of the competition.
Wu Lin introduced to the three of them in the car that due to the strong support of the Leye County Government and various enterprises for the event, anyone who holds the registration form or number plate of the contestants does not need to pay for the scenic spot ticket when they go to the scenic spot where the competition is held three days in advance with their ID card.
Wang Yiyuan often travels everywhere and has always been very disdainful of the ticket prices of scenic spots in various places. She has always believed that the overpriced ticket price will prevent many people who truly love nature from appreciating the beauty of nature, which is really a pity. Now hearing Wu Lin's introduction, it can be seen that the organizing committee has also put a lot of thought into the competition, and is suddenly full of good feelings for the organizing committee of this competition.
Although the Buliuhe Xianren Bridge Scenic Area is not particularly far from Leye County, because the whole section of the road is a secondary road, it took nearly an hour and a half for the chartered car of four people to reach the gate of the scenic spot.
Sure enough, as Wu Lin said, although the four people did not carry the number plate of the competition, they were told that they could enter the scenic spot for free after showing their ID cards and opening the confirmation form of successful registration through the mobile phone webpage. Probably in order to meet the needs of the contestants to be familiar with the venue, the scenic spot also specially provided paid mountain bikes for rent, which brought great convenience to Wang Yiyuan and the four of them.
The gate of the scenic spot is actually downstream of the canyon. The four of them rented a mountain bike and rode upstream along the riverbank, and soon saw the place known as the "Immortal Bridge".
This is a natural stone arch bridge formed by the collapse of three mountains, the visual height and span are more than 100 meters, like a dragon across the banks of the river, the superb scenery is natural, the momentum is majestic, it is very rare, people have to admire the magic of nature. It's no wonder it's called the world's largest and most beautiful natural bridge over the water.
For such a beautiful view, taking a commemorative photo is a must. Chen Yang, who is in his early 30s, and Wang Yiyuan, who is running fast, still maintain the same childlike heart as Nian Shumo, and the three of them posed in various poses for about ten minutes, and then reluctantly rode on the car and continued to set off.
After Wu Lin waited for everyone to take photos and get back on the road, he continued to introduce the detailed rules of the race he had learned while riding.
According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, on the day of the competition, the contestants will start from the middle of the canyon, march along the river bank, need to pass through a section of mountain forest on the way, and the end point is set at the canyon rafting reception, with a total length of only 10 kilometers; after reaching the finish line, the contestants can pick up the mountain bike that they have reserved before or handed over to the organizing committee for safekeeping, and then march downstream along the river bank, ending at the fairy bridge in the lower reaches of the canyon, with a total length of 15 kilometers.
The trekking and mountain biking events are timed separately for each competitor and will not affect the athlete's results due to the rest time between the two events. Of course, there is a deadline for each project to be completed in the competition rules.
For example, in the trekking event, the latest completion time is 4 hours, and from the 4.5th hour after the start of the hike, the runner must take the mountain bike event, and if the hike is not completed on time, or the mountain bike event is not started on time and before the time limit, both results will be cancelled.
The maximum time limit for mountain bike events is 3 hours, if only the mountain bike project is not completed, and the hiking project is completed on time, the hiking results will be valid, but the scoring of the mountain bike event will be cancelled.
There was no objection to the rules set by the organizing committee.
According to this maximum time, it is equivalent to a hike of only 2.5 kilometers per hour, a mountain bike can be completed at a speed of no less than 5 kilometers per hour, and there is at least half an hour of rest time between the two events.
This kind of competition intensity, not to mention that it is very simple for enthusiasts who often participate in outdoor sports, even for an ordinary person, there will be no difficulty in completing it.
Since it's just a survey of the terrain, not a competitive game. Several people were not riding fast. About half an hour later, Wu Lin stopped first, pointed to the mountains and forests on the side of the road, and said, "Do you see those small colored flags hanging? ā
The other three also stopped their cars. As far as the eye can see, the small bunting hanging stretches all the way into the woods, and there is a path in the woods, which looks obvious.
Wang Yiyuan and Nian Shumo were a little eager to try, but Chen Yang opened his mouth first: "Don't you want to go again." I don't have time to wait for you here for hours, and when it's dark, how can I go back to the county seat?"
Wang Yiyuan originally wanted to say that there is no need for Chen Yang and them to wait, at their own speed, the ten kilometers without weight should be completed in one and a half hours, and everyone can meet at the end of the upstream and return, which should not delay much time.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Yang and the others couldn't ride a bicycle by themselves and push another bicycle at the same time. It seems that the field trip hiking route is really unrealistic for today, but since I am here, I am really a little unwilling not to step on the pedal point.
Wu Lin looked at Wang Yiyuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is not much need. I walked through this section yesterday and it was not difficult at all. Except for a few slopes up and down, it is easier to walk than the rural fields. And the section of the mountain forest is only about 7 kilometers, and the rest of the road is to return to the road we are walking now. ā
Since Wu Lin, as the eldest brother, has spoken, Wang Yiyuan is embarrassed to go his own way again, so she has to give up the idea of stepping on the point and continue to ride upstream along the river bank with everyone.
