DAVAO CITY--- Davao City roads heat up as cycling enthusiasts gear up for the KadayawJuan Road Bike Challenge 2012 set on August 18 in line with the celebration of the 27th Kadayawan Festival.
The activity, organized by One Radio 102.7 NewsFM, Ang Radyo ni Juan, in coordination with Philcycling Mindanao, is a 150- kilometer bike race routing the city’s three congressional districts.
Rolling Start will be in Quimpo Boulevard, beside a city mall and will kick-off from Barangay Panacan to Lasang and Calinan (passing through Mahayag Road, Indangan, Magtuod, Talandang, Angalan, Sitio San Vicente Daliao in Toril, Ulas with an uphill climb to Shrine Hills going to Mc Arthur Highway and finishing- off back to Quimpo Boulevard).
Dodong Solis, station manager of One Radio, said the cycling route is purposely chosen to bring the Kadayawan mood to far-flung barangays in the city.
“Even if some Dabawenyos live in remote areas, we wanted the residents to feel that the festivity is not only focus in downtown area but they can also see action right at their communities and be part of the celebration,” said Solis.
Meanwhile, Jun Paholio of Philcycling said that participating teams and individuals coming from Davao, General Santos, Koronadal, Valencia City, Kidapawan and Cebu will compete in three respective categories: Open-Elite, Executive and Junior Developmental categories.
Trophies, medals, cash prizes and special awards such as Sprint King and Mountain King await the winners.(PR)
