The ICE event is a total of 4 days: the first two days are dedicated to reconnaissance and the weekend to the race. In total, there are 8 specials, with each day 4 special and thirty kilometers to go. Every morning, we are all subjected to the same ritual: We find ourselves in a parking lot behind the hotel where jeepneys (local 4X4 bus) are waiting for us. We load the bicycles in trailers, or on dedicated bike racks, and then ride on these local buses to the top of the Do Pui mountain. From there, we will follow a descending profile with strong links that will sometimes leave traces in some of us!
