Palatinate Forest gravel ride

Saturday, July 29th, 2023

Registration is only online and is only possible until the participant limit of 300 starting places has been reached. Late registration at the start is not possible. There is no entitlement to a starting place. The registration is only valid in connection with the receipt of payment of the entry fee within five bank working days.

The entry fee is EUR 49.00. The entry fee entitles you to participate in the event and to receive catering. Also included: A starter bag with goodies from our sponsors, a pasta meal + a drink. All non-stop finishers who are back by the finish line at 21:00 will receive an exclusive medal.

Route - 250 kilometers with 4,000 meters of altitude difference

We recommend a bike with disc brakes and a gear ratio appropriate to the route (e.g. 1x11 with max. 42 ring and 10-42 cassette). The tires should be between 35 and 50 mm wide and profiled. Of course, a 650B tire will do, too. Tubeless is recommended. If you don't own a gravel bike, you can of course also compete with the MTB. Pfalzlands is a cycle tourism Gravelbike event, there is no timekeeping.

Palatinate is not a race! The route is completed via GPS track. Everyone rides alone, with their friends or spontaneously joins a group.

There is also the option to ride the event in bikepacking mode. There are plenty of accommodation and supply options in the Palatinate Forest. Please familiarize yourself with the possibilities and the track in advance. The bikepackers will then arrive at the finish area during the day on Sunday, July 30th, 2023.

Start and finish 250 kilometers between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m
