About the race
Electric bikes are allowed on the shorter distances (70 and 110 km). Not on the longest distance (160 km) because of time registration.
Provisioning is only allowed at the supply stations designated by the organizers.
The course consists mainly of forest and sandy soil, interspersed with rocks. We suggest to choose something you are comfortable with. A bit of grip at the side is always nice to have. Possible to ride with every width available.
