Ultra gravel Latgale (English)

€95.00 Ar PVN

As usual in spring, during the Latvian holidays, Velomens has prepared another cycling adventure – this time we will focus on Latgale and Gravel cycling. This time there is nothing new – three different distances on Latgale gravel roads with impressive terrain and a start/finish point in Kaunata, near Lake Razna. Ultra gravel Latgale, as the name suggests, will be the long bike ride along a specific route in Latgale, mostly using gravel roads. The route is designed so that we would be disturbed by cars as little as possible, we would see more forest animals and at the same time be able to ride fast – this means that sand baths, swamps, overgrown meadows and plowed fields are left for MTB competition enthusiasts.

Here you will be able to ride the smallest distance – 150 kilometers, which is located in one circle and is done in a self-supported style, which means that no one will help you from the outside, you will carry your own equipment and visit rural shops. There will be no checkpoints on the route.

Second option – 250 kilometers, which is located in two different circles and is done in a self-supported style, which means that no one will help you from the outside, you will carry your own equipment and visit rural shops. There will be 1 checkpoint on the route, which will be located in Kaunata at the entrance to the second circle. At this point, you will also be able to use what you have left in the start/finish area and what you will need to be able to enjoy the rest of the route.
Most powerful ultra distance – 500 kilometers, which is organized in three different circles and is carried out in a self-supported style, which means that no one will help you from the outside, you will carry your own equipment and visit rural shops. There will be 2 checkpoints on the route, which will be located in Kaunata at the entrance to the second and third circles. At this point, you will also be able to use what you have left in the start/finish area and what you will need to be able to enjoy the rest of the route.

Yes, and no less important fact – the participation fee for all distances will be significantly lower than in previous years.
