{Extreme Duo bike race set for Sunday}
SIMPSON BAY--Elite mountain bike teams will be toughing it out this coming Sunday, September 29, when the 2nd edition of the Extreme Duo race starts from Princess Port de Plaisance for a testing circumnavigation of the island.This international race introduced successfully last year by Erik van Engelen is the first leg of a tour that incorporates races in Aruba in October,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], Bonaire in November and Curaçao in December. The race is open male,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], female and mixed teams, and several of the overseas teams are returning.Race sponsors are Burger King, Insel Air, Meyer Moving, Tri Sport,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], Prime Distributors, Zenitel, Trakx Design, GRPV, Philipsburg Pharmacy, Philipsburg Library and Princess Port de Plaisance.This year the 55K course runs clockwise around the island, starting with a loop of Bellevue to wake up the legs before meandering through Marigot, Baie de Potence, Anse de Peres, Friar's Bay, Happy Bay, Grand Case (up to the antenna above airport),[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], French Cul-de-Sac, Mont Vernon,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url], Boo Boo Jam, Orient Bay, Le Galion, French Quarter,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], Coralita, Oyster Pond, Red Pond,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler sale[/url], Guana Bay,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], Philipsburg, Cay Hill, Indigo Bay,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], and finish in Cole Bay.An extra loop has been added on the French side including a stony beach section in Friars Bay.Teams of two must complete the off-road race together, starting and finishing at Port de Plaisance. A good match-up is the key. Once the marriage vows have been pronounced divorce or separation is not an option for around four hours at least, which is the average time to complete the distance.2012 winners Maarten Piek and Sebastiaan Ton from Curaçao completed the distance in 3 hours 41:36 and will no doubt be returning to defend their title. A team from Bonaire came second.St. Maarten/St. Martin took a third place on the podium in the male category with Fred Quetat and Bruno Therond (3:59:32) however, this year Fred is pairing up with Eric Bendahan as Bruno will be absent.Other strong local teams include Herman Janssen and Dick Luttekes, but they will face competition from Joost Huele (the last Pic Paradis winner) who has teamed up with a rider from Bonaire.In the all-girl teams expect to see a powerful ride from Liesbeth De Falco and Annelies Starreveld while Maidwell siblings, Susy and Mark, have joined up for the mixed teams.While the races in the ABC islands are longer but flatter,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], the consensus from visiting riders last year was that St. Maarten with its hills was the toughest of all the races.Team registration is at Tri Sport in Simpson Bay or Marigot, and at Port de Plaisance on September 27 and 28 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Entry fee per duo is US $50 that includes breakfast and lunch. Breakfast on race day is at 5:30am followed by the race start at 6:30am. Awards ceremony and lunch is at Port de Plaisance at 12:00pm.
