Around Lithuania 2017 (20 July - 22 July)
« on: 29 May, 2017, 11:39:37 am »
here's another bike packing style race on smooth, fast, gently rolling roads of lithuania, distance of around 1200km:

"Challenge AROUND LITHUANIA is a unique opportunity to prove yourself and others that YOU can do it and that YOU can be one of the few persons that can boast on such an achievement.

Key principles of the race:
1) Participants choose their own cycling route and have to visit the control points identified by the organizers in advance.
2) Participation in the race is without external support. Commercial purchase of food, drinks, lodging and other services that are available to all participants for the same conditions is not treated as external support.
3) Participants cannot ride behind each other within a distance less than 100 meters.
4) Participants of the race are competing for the race winner title.
5) All participants receive souvenirs of race.
6) Race time limit is 60 hours.

If you want to take this challenge you have to:
1) Provide evidence on at least 300 km ridden by bike in 2017 in less than 15 hours (e.g. link to Strava workout)
2) Transfer a registration fee of 100 EUR (VsI Sporto progresas, LT137180300004700559)

The race will be held if at least 10 participants qualify for the race before June 15th, 2017. In case the minimum threshold of participants is not reached, the registration fee will be returned."

Interesting.  Do you know if it's running?  It might be a good thing for next year if it runs again. 

Good luck for the TCR by the way.

thank you! the event is planned for the next year (with a bigger marketing campaign) as there were not enough interested/available/capable riders this time around.
