Silk Road Mountain Race 2019 // Kok-Ayrik & Cholpon Ata

The fifth instalment of our five part series of videos on #SRMR2019 takes us to Kok-Ayrik and the onto the finish at Cholpon Ata. It's a mountain pass that was meant to link Almaty in Kazakhstan with the beach resort town of Cholpon Ata. It now lies in ruins after dozens of landslides have ruined the old road. Despite the damage to the road, this is where SRMR2019 riders must pass to finally make it to the finish line. It was almost universally described as the toughest section of the race. The descent was a steep hike, while the descent was marred be fields of boulders and rockfall. Finally, the finish by lake Issyk-Kul in Cholpon Ata was the ultimate reward for these weary riders. The chance to return to civilisation, have a well deserved beer and let the reality of what they have just achieved sink in. We caught the arrival of the last rider to finish SRMR2019 as he came in at 22.57, barely more than an hour before the final cut-off, savouring the rider until the last possible moment...
