Hard as a spring classic, this ride has it all: cobbles, dirt and sharp climbs.
It’s classics season! Like the pros we want to take on cobbles and Bergs with you on a route that combines small roads and sharp hills from the Roonde van Vlaanderen with hellish cobbles from Roubaix!
The route is technically demanding and will provide a real challenge. Please be realistic about your bike handling and endurance.
Attention: This is NOT a race or drop ride but a social group ride! We will however have two groups, so you can hammer it on the front or ride party pace in the back.
All segments are doable with a normal road bike.

Distance: ~ 125 km
Pace: ~ 28 km/h
Start DANKWARD (nice, coffee), kind of normal out of town, but then! Sudden turn over the median and curb: DOMÄNENTAL, breathlessly hammering single file over "Gravel"! Briefly back together on the village road, then off into the maze of small streets, short KÄHLEN KICK - and then THE HELL OF QUARNBEK. Rompompom.
Continue towards the ferry, but shortly before left into the inconspicuous side path, it becomes narrow again, unasphalted path. Pressing Pedals at the Eideraltarm. Suddenly: surprisingly large road, all think it goes straight ahead but it suddenly goes right and all Sportskanonen stoffen over the wall of STOFFSEE, then the ZWEISPUR classic behind Bredenbek, then left.
Kronsburg - Haßmoor connection, small roads, small GRAVELSTÜCK. Zack, briefly dive into the forest and then the MUR DE EMKENDORF is already waiting. Schrottallee we do not, however BALLERN AFTER BRUX, small road between small houses, then we crash off to the right to Westensee. KOPFSTEIN shattering through the village, briefly look at the lake, then right away: the TODES-ZWEISPUR-RAMPE waiting.
