"I made so many new friends, including international riders," he said. "The whole experience was lively and full of energy."
Among the competitors in the men's final was Will Butler-Adams OBE, the CEO of Brompton, who also enjoyed the ride. "Our events create lasting memories for participants, and we have positive interactions with the community," he said.
He emphasized the goal of promoting a cycling-centric lifestyle, expressing enthusiasm for the future: "We look forward to enjoying cycling together and advocating for a sustainable way of life."
At this BWCC event, competition took a back seat to pure enjoyment. The Best Dressed Prize, in fact, became the most coveted award, outshining even the race results. A highlight of the day was the abundance of modern Chinese fashion styles on display.
Six participants earned the Best Dressed title. One standout was Guo Hualong, who finished 31st in preliminary round, but stole the show with a helmet shaped like a kettle that was impossible to miss, drawing attention from everyone in attendance.
