The inaugural edition of 303LUCERNE is in the books. This first ever bikepacking challenge in Lucerne was a success and that’s down to our riders and staff, who have delivered, rode savely and listended to their bodies when necessary 👏🏼
some quotes of our riders at the finish-line:
«will never forget that», «did not know that there are so many hills», «that’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done», «I did it all for the brunch», «super familiar and personal atmosphere», «you guys are crazy f#!king sadists», «this route, so nice!», «I thought that I knew this region, but…», «awesome course»
About
A new challenge just happened the first time in Lucerne. 74 riders came to the starting line and cycled two days throw the finest dirt-roads Lucerne has to offer!
The route and efforts were timed, but there was no celebration of individual performances. The fact that the riders dare to take part is worthy of equal praise.
Route
A 330km loop with mixed terrain and some elevation. Two days of mixed emotions, beautiful landscapes and wild rides. At least 60% of the route was on natural roads, singletrails. Of these, at least 90% (time) were rideable.
The route passeed through several towns which offered 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.
