For those looking for a more challenging experience, there’s an ascent up Beacon Hill, offering panoramic sea vistas from its summit. Another highlight is Mutter Moor, with its serene beauty and varied terrain that promises to engage every rider's skills.
The event caters primarily to gravel bikes but also welcomes cyclocross bikes or lightweight XC mountain bikes for a versatile riding experience. E-mountain bikes are also permitted, making this adventure accessible to riders of all levels. However, road bikes are not suitable due to the varied terrain and paths that require wider tires.
To ensure optimal performance throughout the ride, participants should aim for at least 35mm tire width on their chosen bike model.
Participants can expect a mix of smooth trails and challenging climbs, making this event an ideal blend of scenic beauty and physical challenge.
