Description of a sporting event

Frankly speaking I don’t really go to many sporting events. The event is students’ cycling race. It takes place every year, in Nizhniy Novgorod. It started many years ago. The cyclists are not professional riders.

I was nervous before it started because there were a lot of participants. The route changes every year, but always includes hilly and mountain горные stages.  

On the day of the race, lots of roads were closed. I met up with some friends and we went together to watch the race. I had no idea who would win but it was amazing! The weather was wonderful. 

I felt happy and I was proud of my friend because he did his best to win the first prize.
