Xterra Brazil in Photos

These are some sightseeing photos of the town of Tiradentes in Brazil

Here are a few shots of the race venue and one of the first climbs which was well over 20% grade. I was very impressed with the race organization, course and venue.

Here are some shots of the race, hot and muddy!!!

My bike and myself after the race. I cleaned up for awards;)

These are some tourist shots of Rio after the race.

If you get a chance to go to Brazil for any reason, race or vacation you will not be disappointed. With the football (soccer) World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, Brazil is a country that is sports crazy and knows how to put on a great event. Looking forward to my next trip back.
