Event Start on Saturday, September 7
- 100-mile start at 8:00 AM
- 50-mile start at 10:00 AM
The start will take place at the hotel level, in front of the Calle Restaurant. The finish line is in the same location.
Timing for the performance is via a chip attached to the event bib. The number must be affixed to the handlebars so that it is readable from the front. No participation is allowed without the bib!
At the start, everyone must ride over a plastic strip placed on the ground. So please do not join the group later or from the side without crossing the start line.
The start will be led calmly by a pacer, in the spirit of a Grand Tour. The route will descend a relatively steep hill and pass through a traffic circle where racing is not yet allowed for safety reasons. Once on the gravel road, the pacer will signal with a horn and move to the right side, after which you can accelerate as desired.
Please be considerate of other participants and the shared joyful atmosphere, even in the excitement of acceleration. Overtaking can be done safely throughout the day!
Finish
The finish is located at the same place as the start, in front of the Calle restaurant next to the hotel. At the finish, water, chips, and delicious vegetable soup (vegan) made by Neidon Sydän will be available.
