We all love a good mountain bike video that shows riders pedaling through some spectacular scenery or bombing down an impressive trail. But one of the highlights of the year is also receiving POV video from the Valparaiso urban mountain bike race in Chile each year. The course is always wild, with lots of spectators lining the route, and there are usually some unique features, obstacles, and challenges for riders to overcome too. This year’s version is no different of course, although unlike in years past, I don’t think any dogs ran across the course midway through a run. Still, this is a fun event that proves you don’t have to head out into remote places to find fun places to ride.
