An handout picture taken on November 24, 2015 and released by Make It Kenya shows riders setting off from Emboli Farm in Laikipia County, 250 km north of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, on the fourth and final day of the Mt. Kenya Epik cycling challenge. The 4-day mountain biking adventure challenge race circumnavigates the Mount Kenya region and this inaugural event attracted both Kenyan and international riders from as a far afield as Norway and Japan. The Epik was established to attract sports tourism to the Mt. Kenya region and showcase what it has to offer the outdoor, extreme sports enthusiast while providing riders the opportunity to interact with local communities and witness some of the beautiful scenery and landscapes surrounding Mt. Kenya that otherwise might not seen. The two-man team of Kenyan riders Joseph Echuwa and Samwel Mwangi won the 300km, 4-day race crossing the finish line in 10hrs 31mins and 05secs.
