This competition is a cup competition, and players have signed up from all over the world. All of them are very capable and well-known in the bicycle industry.
I don’t know which country the person in charge of the commentary is from, but he spoke in English and was full of passion.
"Okay, now we have entered the gravel road section. The top-ranked drivers have an advantage here. The dust inevitably raised when vehicles pass by and the misty starlight make it a very difficult challenge for the vision of the drivers behind."<
/p>
"What appears on the main screen here is Ai Orlando, who is currently ranked fifth. This cyclist only joined the ranks of cyclists last year. His advantages are particularly obvious in endurance races, and he is affectionately called the Iron Lung by the audience.
, Iron Lung Orlando."
"The road here is relatively narrow. The driver in front is concentrating on finding the route and taking a break. But what do we see now?! Ai Orlando is driving quickly. Is he going to overtake on this section of road?"
"Is it really amazing? Can this be surpassed?"
As a commentator, he shouldn't say such things. It seems a bit unprofessional, but it is really outrageous.
There is a big uphill section before and after. The narrow flat road like this in the middle is obviously not for overtaking, but to allow the riders to have enough time to rest and recover their heart rate, otherwise it will be difficult to climb up to this first step.
Erdaopo.
As we all know, people have limits.
For people who run 100 meters, even if they are Olympic athletes, it is difficult for them to complete the 400-meter sprint. Endurance. The name of this game shows that this is not a competition of explosive power. Running the entire distance
It will take at least half an hour. If you don't allocate your energy reasonably, you won't be able to make it to the finish line.
The director who controlled the perspective of the main screen was concentrating on watching Ai's perspective while watching the commentary, and did not choose to change it for a while.
Anyway, there are no good pictures from other perspectives.
"It's time to go uphill! This is the strongest section of the road for this cyclist, Ai Orlando. His bicycle is unmatched. Oh my god, who knows what this cyclist did before becoming a cyclist. This kind of
A strong heart is perfect for participating in this type of endurance race!"
In such a game, the heart rate can easily exceed 180, and even exceed 00.
But at that time, the players should have black eyes and dizzy heads.
Chen Xing knew what Ai did before. He had heard him talk about it during a party in Norway. He had done wingsuit flying, free-handed rock climbing, speedboat surfing, etc. To be precise, he was not a professional cyclist.
I have been interested in this for the past two years, so I joined in to play.
If one day Ai discovers that there is something more fun to do, he will probably abandon this sport and play the next thing he likes, just like he abandoned wingsuit flying before.
He likes to call himself an extreme player rather than a professional player in a certain sport.
Chen Xing took a look at the ranking list again. The number of pages in this ranking list is no longer as many as when Chen
Without fame, there is nothing to compare with, and some people really can’t stand it.
But if Chen Xing was doing this professionally, he would still have to continue driving even if he was the last to get the ranking.
If you get familiar with the track, maybe you can get a good ranking next time you come?
At this time, we came to a mountain road section, which is what ordinary people call a mountain road. There are woods on both sides, and the route winds left and right. It is difficult for ordinary people to walk on this road with their feet, but the top five players have no speed per hour.
After 0, sometimes I even run at a speed of 30.
Chen Xing didn't even listen to what the commentator was saying, and kept staring at the driver's screen.
So the downhill bicycle race is so beautiful?
The previous uphill and downhill roads have been completed, and now it is basically all downhill. Especially the perspective of this downhill descent, which makes people dare not even breathe loudly, for fear that the rider they are paying attention to will hit something.
It's like something fell apart.
The race was almost over, and Chen Xing could even see the figure of the first driver.
It’s not Ai.
Due to a mistake in early route selection, he is still in third place. Chen Xing can already see him at this time. He is very fast, and he is in tandem with the second place at a visual speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
Crossed the finish line.
After the second place parked, I saw that there was only such a small gap between myself and the first place, and sighed.
However, Ai's mood was relatively stable. After getting off the car, he gasped and hugged the first place winner who was resting. Then he found Chen Xing, who was applauding, and hugged him again.
"The figure is very handsome." Chen Xing said.
"It's a pity that I only came in third. I originally thought I could be first, but alas, I still couldn't beat him."
"Who? Do you know the number one?"
"Killian Brown, he is a very powerful person. He is my friend. I will introduce him to you later."
"Forget it, I would rather you introduce a beautiful woman to me."
"Haha!"
He patted Chen Xing's shoulder hard and said:
"There will be a chance. When I am free, I will hold a party and find young and cute girls for you to attend. I just hope that your guy will be strong and not let them down." p>
"Hmph!"
Chen Xing snorted to express that you underestimated me, and heard someone say from the loudspeaker: "Second place Achido Richardson, you failed a checkpoint and received a penalty of 11 seconds. At present,
Your ranking is fourth, and the people who were previously ranked third and fourth will be ranked one higher."
"You're second." Chen Xing said.
"Xing, second or third place in any competitive competition is meaningless, but for me, as long as I enjoy the game."
Chan
After that final, I could only exit in despair.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He looked behind him and saw that the only media outlets were interviewing the first-place finisher, Killian Brown.
There was a voice asking Ai to get the medal and take pictures. He replied and said to Chen Xing: "Then I'll go over first. Do you want to come to the next party?"
"No, I want to take a walk around this town."
In winter, Iceland's small towns look like they are sleeping, with fewer pedestrians and less noise.
Chen Xing saw so many small towns on the way here, and this one, Brundios, seemed particularly vibrant to him.
In order to facilitate tourists like them who come here to watch the competition, all the lights in the town seem to be turned on, making the house bright and bright.
Chen Xing took a photo of Ao Orlando standing on the podium holding a medal and a bicycle, and then without saying goodbye again, Chen Xing returned to the town directly.
All the young people in the town went to watch the fun, and the only ones left in the town were some middle-aged people working and old people sitting at the door.
When Chen Xing was taking a picture of one of the old men, he suddenly turned to look at Chen Xing.
"Hello?" Chen Xing greeted in English.
After all, many people here don't speak English, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
If he really couldn't communicate, Chen Xing could just delete the photo in front of him.
But soon he got a response from the old man, who said: "Hi, are you taking pictures of me?"
"Yes, the photos are very nice."
Chen Xing quickly went over and showed the photo to the old man.
The color of Hasselblad's camera is almost invincible. When it comes out straight, it is real and beautiful. The old man is also very happy. Maybe he feels bored when talking like this, so he lifts up the black hat of his down jacket and says to Chen Xing:
"I haven't taken such a beautiful photo in many years. Can you help me develop it?"
"Is there a place to develop photos here?"
"This...no."
He sighed and looked at the photo taken by Chen Xing again, a little reluctant to part with it.
"Are your children at home? I can give them this photo."
"They all work in the city. I can't remember their phone numbers...Forget it, it's useless for me to hold photos when I'm so old."
"You're not that old either." Chen Xing said a polite word.
In fact, he is very old, old and thin, and there are many age spots on his face that cannot be removed.
He made up his mind not to take this photo because he was afraid of trouble Chen Xing, but Chen Xing agreed on the face, but in his heart he still felt that he could develop it in Reykjavik and send it to this place. For this reason, he even wrote this down.
The house number of the room.
He also found out the old man's name, which was Ramirez.
"By the way, Mr. Ramirez, are there any hotels or rooms nearby where I can stay?" Chen Xing suddenly asked.
He came late and couldn't find the room.
This is normal. If only half of the more than 2,000 tourists who came to watch the game left after watching the game, then there would still be a thousand people left here, which made the houses in the town feel particularly nervous.<
/p>
After all, this is just a small town with a population of 800.
"Accommodation... may not be easy to find." Ramirez thought and said slowly.
Just when Chen Xing was thinking about finding a car to return to Reykjavik as soon as possible, Mr. Ramirez slowly said the second sentence: "But if you don't mind, you can walk a few kilometers to the river."
Stay in a hotel nearby. Generally speaking, there won’t be too many people here.”
After Chen Xing asked a few more questions, he found out why the hotel the old man mentioned was located a few kilometers outside the town.
Because he is an attraction.
This town is small, but it is also a city, and a town of 800 people is not small in Iceland. It is normal to have one or two scenic spots around. The place the old man mentioned is one of the scenic spots called Glacier.
.
There is a hotel inside the scenic spot. The advantage is that the scenic spot is right outside the bedroom window and the scenery is good. The disadvantage is that it is expensive.
Chen Xing wanted to stay in Iceland until Christmas. He had a lot of time. Now that he had left Reykjavik, he didn't want to go back to the city so soon. After a little hesitation, he decided to go today
Let’s stay at the hotel the old man mentioned.
It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, or how many kilometers it takes. For him, a few kilometers of hiking doesn’t count as a warm-up.
I was shooting while walking. When I walked out of the town, the light source disappeared and my eyes suddenly darkened. Chen Xing quickly took out a flashlight that was not very bright.
Using this flashlight to walk at night will prevent your eyes from seeing other places in the dark.
The stars in the sky flicker and the clouds move rapidly.
The wind on the road was very strong, and part of Chen Xing's exposed face felt like it was being beaten by the wind, and it was also very cold. If you took out your mobile phone to take pictures at this time, you would not be able to hear Chen Xing's words in the picture.
What, I can only hear this kind of wind.
Chen Xing was a little scared and wondered if he should not come out, or would it be better to follow the car back to Reykjavik?
Even if you stay in Ai's room, that's fine.
However, Chen Xing felt that Ai would probably bring one or two girls back to the room from the party today, and he could not interfere with his friends' good deeds.
Silent sigh.
A UV drove up from behind. When the driver saw Chen Xing walking alone on the road, he slowed down the car, opened the window and asked:
"Friend, where are you going alone?"
"Glacier Scenic Area."
"Are you alone?"
"Yes, I came to watch the mountain bike competition, but the hotels in the town were already full, and even the living rooms of private houses were full of people. I heard someone said that I might be able to find a room in the Glacier Scenic Area, and I remembered
Go over and take a look."
"That's it." The driver understood and said, "Then you get in my car. Although I can't take you to the scenic spot, I can still help you along the highway."
Chen Xing thanked him and got in the car.
The wind is isolated from the outside, and the small lights and air conditioner are turned on inside the car, so the comfort level is instantly increased.
It was only a short ride away after a few kilometers of driving. When the driver parked the car, it was right next to the gate of the scenic spot. In the distance, Chen Xing saw a house with lights on.
There is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, if you suddenly see a wooden house in the wilderness, the house has lights on and looks peaceful, surrounded by the chirping of insects or even birds, as well as the rustling of leaves.<
/p>
Everything is normal, right?
But there was a trace of fear in my heart, as if there was some danger hidden in such an environment.
However, if you see such a small wooden house with lights on in the silent world of ice and snow, you will not feel scared at this time, but will make you feel warm.
Chen Xing doesn’t know why this phenomenon occurs.
But it’s really interesting.
This wooden house is relatively large. After all, it is a hotel in the scenic area. There are many cars parked at the door. It seems that Chen Xing is not the only one staying here.
After walking for a while, when he arrived in front of the wooden house, Chen Xing saw through the glass window that almost two-thirds of the tables were occupied by guests. Some of these people were just chatting and playing cards, and some were already eating, maybe
People who just came here after watching the game didn’t eat anything for lunch.
It's three o'clock now, and the sky is not as dark as before, but the sky is still gloomy.
I went in and asked the front desk, and I was lucky enough to find a room.
Just after checking in, a child who was looking at the glacier in the distance through the glass with a telescope shouted loudly: "Seal! I saw a seal!"
Many people looked towards the glacier at this time, but many people did not see the seal anywhere.
Chen Xing saw it.
He was instantly ejected from the water onto an ice floe. There was another seal not far from him, also on the ice floe.
The most famous attraction of Glacier is the floating ice, which looks like a honeycomb in the sky. This environment attracts many seals to live here.
What? You said seals live in the sea, not rivers?
The water in the Norwegian river is seawater, and there is only a small sea area across it. Isn’t the water in the Icelandic river not seawater?
Although it looks like glacier water, it is connected to the ocean, so it is not surprising that there are seals. If the river mouth is not a little narrow, maybe we can see whales here. End of this chapter
