LEVEL

“SPORT+“
With average speeds of around 30Km/h the SPORT+ group is the place to vent the week’s steam. It is a NO-DROP ride with designated waiting stops on the top of the climbs. Group riding experience is more than necessary, because we want to ride a fast paceline on the flats.
Rides usually cover 60-75Km and/or over 1000hm
We will ride a paved roads normally. If it is a gravelride it will be announced bevor.
