About

A new challenge just happens the first time in Lucerne. Be part of it and cycle two days throw the finest dirt-roads Lucerne has to offer!

The route and your effort are timed, but there is no celebration of individual performances!

Route
A min 303km loop with mixed terrain and some elevation. Two days of mixed emotions, beautiful landscapes and wild rides. At least 60% of the route is on natural roads, singletrails. Of these, at least 90% (time) are rideable.
The route passes through several towns which offer overnight accommodation and resupply.
Gear
Gravel or MTB with light gears and at least 40mm tires. (Expect some S2 trails up and down. If comfort is more important than time we would recommend to bring a MTB.)
Weatherproof clothing, lighting, repair kit, GPS device (cell phone), cycling computer with the route, battery pack, first aid kit.
