Rennsteig 25 Rennsteig 25
WE RIDE TOGETHER AGAINST THE CLOCK
Imagine this: You're riding your gravel bike with a group, over 200 km with tons of elevation, and the only goal is to catch the last train! Sounds like a challenge that's right up your alley? Then our ride on April 26th, 2025 is probably your thing. Here’s what you need to know:
1. No exit points: There’s no train station midway. If you decide to quit, you'll be riding solo back. |
2. Keep up the pace: We need to maintain an average speed of around 20 km/h or higher. No time for cruising. |
3. Be fit: Make sure you've already done a ride at this pace and distance before. |
4. Respect nature: Stay on the designated route and leave nothing but happy vibes behind. |
5. Be considerate: Show respect to other nature lovers out there. |
6. Inclusive community: We’re all about being open and tolerant. Nationalism, racism, sexism, or discrimination of any kind won’t be tolerated. |
Meeting point: For everyone from Erfurt, we’re gathering at Willy-Brandt-Platz at 5:30 a.m. We’ll catch the first train to Eisenach at 5:54 a.m., then ride to Hörschel for the official start of the Rennsteig at 7:10 a.m. Halfway through, a small refreshment station will be waiting for us with snacks, bars, gels, and water so you can refill yourself and your bottles. To keep the station well-stocked, we’d really appreciate a small donation in advance – every bit helps! The ride is otherwise unsupported, so bring everything you’ll need.
Registration: Super simple – just sign up via groupsrides.cc. We can also organize group train tickets in advance. Got questions? Hit us up on Insta DMs! We can't wait to ride with you and share some unforgettable moments!
To cover the costs we mentioned earlier, we need your support! There’s no set registration fee – just donate what you can, what the ride is worth to you, or what fits your budget. We’ll keep you posted on how much we’ve raised and how far we still have to go.
