From the area near the border with Austria, we will move in a far northwesterly direction. We will meet in Boží Dar and then we will pass through beautiful places in the Ore Mountains. Mysterious forests, peat bogs, and beautiful roads under the wheels await you.
At the end of the ride, you'll come across a monument in the form of the highest mountain in the entire range. The climb to Klínovec is expected to be the main climbing segment of the day.
If you don't feel up to a full portion of kilometres and vertical metres, you can decide to choose a shorter alternative route after the start.
Two formats: sportive style and race
Do you want to enjoy closed roads, a varied route full of beautiful places and relax at the refreshment stations? Then we have a sportive style format for you.
Do you like big challenges and want to keep your coffee as a reward after crossing the finish line? Then choose the second format, push as hard as you can and keep the total time to a minimum.
Sportive style and race classification
Participants of race ride for overall and premium/segment standings. The sportive style riders choose this format because they don't need to chase seconds and prefer the comfort of traffic free roads. However, we do have an element of competition for them. We're timing them on three climbing sections. The ranking of sportive style format is based only on the times from the mentioned sections.
Time limit
To complete the full route in the time limit and ride on traffic free roads, you need to cover 106 kilometres in 5 hours and 40 minutes. That means maintaining an average speed of 19 kph.
Who we are announcing
At the race we announce and award the top three men and top three women. At the same time, another winners will come from the segments. We do not keep different age categories for either format.
