WE RIDE TOGETHER AGAINST THE CLOCK

Imagine riding your gravel bike in a group, over 200 km with lots of altitude and the only goal is to reach the last train! Sounds like a challenge exactly to your taste? Then our ride on 27.04.2024 is probably just your thing, there is just the following to consider:

1. There is no intermediate station that we will be stopping at. If you want to get off, the group can no longer accompany you.
2. As it is very tight in terms of time, the average is around 20 km/h or higher.
3. You should feel fit and have ridden at least one distance at this speed average.
4. We respect nature, stay on the given route and leave only a moment 'of happiness'.
5. We are considerate of all other nature enthusiasts.
6. We see ourselves as a colourful, open and tolerant cycling community, in which we want to offer free development through the magical moments of togetherness on and off the bike. Abstract views that express themselves in nationalism, racism, sexism and discrimination in any form will not be tolerated.

Meeting point, for all those coming from Erfurt, is Willy-Brandt-Platz at 5:30. The first train will take us to Eisenach (at 6:40), from there we will cycle to the start of the Rennsteig in Hörschel (at 7:10). About halfway along the route, a small refreshment station will be waiting for us with food, bars, gels and water. There you can refill yourself and your bottles. A small donation in advance would be very nice and helpful so that we can provide the aid station with so much food. Otherwise the challenge is unsupported and you take what you need with you. You can register via groupsrides.cc, various train group tickets can also be booked in advance and for questions just write to us on Insta. We are looking forward to seeing you.

To cover all the hidden costs, we need your help! We could score here with an upbeat start-up slogan, for which we would have shamelessly exploited 30 students, but all we get are numbers:

Business plan
rental car 250 €
fuel 50 €
catering 50 €
Erythropoietin (EPO) for the bottle and gel 80 €
train ticket 12 €

We need your help to cover the costs listed above! There is no registration fee, you simply donate what you can, what it is worth to you or what is within your possibilities. Until the event, we will keep you up to date on where we are and how much we still need.
