On August 19th, there was the heavy rain on Den Hung, it made the over 7 km road muddier and rockier. Only one round would make your bicycle be covered a lot with thick mud. But most of people tried their best to finish the race.
The race was not only the place for all ASAMA members to challenge themselves, but also the place to heighten teamwork and sporty spirit. With that spirit, ASAMA Team has achieved the third prize for teamwork of male 19-40 years old and 2 consolation prizes of female 12-29 years old
