The next Sunday, a total of 14 of them gathered in the "Chedou" to discuss the most important cross-country bicycle race of the year, the Heyuan Wanlv Lake 300km Trail Race, which will be the team and individual races and trophies in two months' time.

A total of 12 riders from Hong Kong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Chongqing will participate in what is known as the hardest race of the year – the Heyuan Wanlv Lake 300km Trail Race.

The difficulty of this competition is that:

1. On a sunny day in August, the average temperature of Heyuan is 38 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is high, about 80-90% (it is extremely difficult for the body to dissipate heat);

2. Constant uphill and downhill and cement roads, plus muddy roads for racing;

3. The mountainous area is forested, and the roads made of woods are uneven, which is dangerous to high-speed drivers.

The day after the training camp, it was also a training camp, but this time it was a kind of training for cooperation between teammates; Focusing on technical driving, high-speed interspersed and wind resistance reduction techniques...

Six weeks away, they will be running a 200km time trial, both on the road and on the hillside. The sunny day at the end of June alone has caused them to suffer from lack of water and high body temperature (clothing ventilation and sweat absorption problems)... Four weeks away, they ran a 300km time trial, including a hillside and dirt road training, plus 30km of road practice.

Two weeks away, this time, they ran a 280km time trial with hills and dirt roads, plus a 30km road race. An additional 20 one-kilometre finish sprints were added to practice.

The team's large-scale training is of course a must-win, and they are the number one team in the city's representative team, so they naturally want to compete as a local snake, and they expect that at least one of the three classes will qualify for the top three.

By the time of the race day, Sunday, August 10, 2008, the temperature had reached 28 degrees Celsius at 6:00 a.m.

Yesterday's weather forecast: today's temperature will continue to be hot, the sunshine will be strong, the UV index will be extremely high (up to 10), and the sun will be fierce all day. However, the weather at Wanlv Lake is not as accurate as the forecast: there is no wind, and it is extremely hot and humid (92% humidity) on cloudy days, with a high risk of lightning and heavy rain.

At 8:00 a.m., the game officially began, the current temperature is 32 degrees, the wind speed is less than 3 meters per second, and there is only a level 2 wind.

Huang Qiang went to the scene to prepare at 4:30 in the morning, constantly collecting weather data, his face has been unsightly, his face is heavy, as if he knows some uncertain facts, and directly affects the results. Perhaps, the negative energy of the mind can go straight to the sky, and the sky also responded to Huang Qiang, sending several muffled thunders in mid-air, according to the estimation of the competition, about 2-3 hours later, there will be a heavy rainstorm, for the competition, the most afraid is lightning... The lightning is going to cut this game in half.

Three hours into the race, hail was the first to appear on the way to the race, and there were constantly runners who were knocked down by the hail, and there were chaotic situations such as crashes and pulleys....The T21 and T15 of the "Rush" Cycling Club were hit by riders, and the bikes of Ah Man, Silly Leopard and Ming Tsai were all damaged by other riders and were forced to withdraw from the race.

The T15 and T21 group team competitions were reimbursed, and only T18 remained intact with the first two team opponents, the "Shengli" Sports Association in Guangzhou and the "Gulang" Cycling Club in Xiashi, and followed by the "Jinchong", the number one seed team in this competition, the Hong Kong "Zhenyang" team, all of which are Chinese riders, and the only master who can participate in the Olympic Games and choose the gold medal.

The "Zhenyang" team was followed by the No. 2 seed team, the "Dapeng City" Sports Association in Shenzhen. By the way, the ace rider in the T15 group of the "Zhenyang" team - Huang Fu Tao, Huang Fu is the surname, the name Tao, 14 years old this year, 176 cm, 62 kg.

Since 2008, he has been the youngest champion of the Hong Kong 12-year-old cyclocross race, and has been one of the top 10 outstanding athletes and the youngest top 10 winners of Hong Kong for three consecutive years. It would be an honour to have such a talented driver, both opponents and teammates, who are as sharp as a knife and as fast as a wind.

Today, he wears the white jersey and yellow sweatpants of the "Zhenyang" team, at least half a head taller than his teammates, his face is handsome and arrogant, and his eyes are always full of smiles and sparkles. In the T15 class, he has always been the leader of the driver, and many T21 and T18 drivers have been left behind by him, which shows that his strength is simply the level of professional drivers.

And Zhang Yuan, the goal this time is to absorb the experience of the competition, his goal is to complete the competition, if he can complete the event within 8 hours, it will be perfect.

However, the sweltering weather combined with hail and torrential rain made Zhang Yuan's first race suffer, on weekdays, he can ride a race bike on average nearly 80 kilometers per hour, but today, all kinds of the most difficult weather conditions have encountered him, and the opponent does not seem to be much affected...

In the T15 group, he ranked 16th in the initial race (80 km monitoring line), to 42nd in the fourth monitoring point (280 km), and then to the final line, Zhang Yuan ranked 53rd.

Sam was 9th, Man was 15th (the last record at the second monitoring station, after the car was damaged and could not continue the race), George was 27th and Zhang Yuan was 53rd.

The overall results of the day were as follows:

T15 group

1st Place, Hong Kong "Shake Up"

2nd place team, Yongshi "Guanghui"

Third place team, Xiamen City "Gulang"

4th place team, Chaoshi "Marin"

Fifth place team, Guangshi "Victory"

Sixth place team, River City "Good Charm"

No. 7, Peace "Rush"

Before the game, it was predicted that "Jin Chong", which was inevitably the top three, actually ranked seventh, while Huang Qiang's long-time rival Huo Hua won sixth, and Heshi's "Good Charm" got the sixth place. And he was once a legendary ace of Heshi cycling, and he was also Huang Qiang's best hardcore brother before graduating from university.

This year is the first year to participate in the provincial league, and he won the sixth overall ranking of the T15 team system in the 300-kilometer Wanlv Lake race, which is one of the three difficult tracks in the country, and ranked first in the national Hakka team. The "Jinchong" team, which has been pressing the "good charm" for a year, lost this time, which can not but be said to be a big shock for the cycling people in the Hakka area.

In this competition, both the individual group and the team competition, RUSH lost too badly, and some team members blamed it on bad weather, but Huang Qiang believes that the three groups were defeated by themselves because they were not careful and attentive enough.
