IV. Pinehill-Extreme 18.-19.5.2018: Guided ultratours for mountain bikers
Short facts:
What: Pinehill-Extreme is guided ultradistance mountainbiking event. 300 km of riding in 23 hours: nice single tracks, gravel roads but also some rocky and rooty places -> you should have quite a good skill to ride those technical sections. Average speed in our group is about 15 km/h meaning you should have good physical and mental fitness. You don't need to be national-level competitor, but should prepare well to ride a long distance with backbag.
- Note: this year there is also groups for 140 km night riders (about 10 hours) and 160 km all-day-riders (about 13 hours)!
