FAQ

Can I ride together with others?

Our third rule exists to set a standard for anyone aiming to finish as quickly as possible or to win. When riding in small groups or in the slipstream, what matters to us is consent—if you’re moving as a group and everyone is cool with it, we don’t consider it a "rule violation." But if people draft for an extended time without consent and someone raises a complaint, there needs to be a rule.

Is the route secret?

Yes, the route is secret until the start. You can find more details in the 10 Commandments.

Gravel or MTB?

Both work. Tires ≥ 38 mm are recommended.

Who’s organizing this?

Us. The community. No company, no club – just people who care.
