Looks fresh, right? A brand new site also means registration is now online! We’re going into our ninth year now and we’ve cooked up a route of around 430 km with at least 6000 m total ascent. At least, because to celebrate its ninth year, MB will offer a total of 9 specific ascents, some of which will be optional. The route with more cumulative elevation gain will also be longer, meaning it won’t be for the faint of heart. Timing is as usual, albeit with an early start as opposed to starting at noon usually, meaning: you’ll have 24 hours to finish. A definitive starting time is still jotted down with some question marks, but we’re looking at something between 7:00 and 9:00. This means you’ll probably want to travel to Dresden a day beforehand if you’re coming from further away.
This year’s route will take you through mountain ranges in Saxony and Czech Republic, through Bohemian Switzerland, the Jizera and the Giant mountains. For the first and most likely only time, MB will reach an altitude of 1400 m above sea level. On our latitude this means you won’t be seeing trees anymore as you’ll actually be riding above tree line, or riding through alpine tundra in fact.
Sounds good? Come over, join the MB family and register today to secure your spot on the starting grid! And, as always: FLINTA* first!
