Maybe as one of the first big DH races in Europe, the Gračišće Downhill race will do a separate class for unicycles this year. At istradh.com you can find some information about the track and a lot of pictures from last year.
The track is 2132 meters long, starting at an altitude of 450m and ending at an altitude of 100m with technical and speedy parts. You can also win some amazing unicycle prizes.
Cost will be 20 € and for that you will get free camping and food which we will specify more detail about soon. You will find a trials track also and there is a lot of XC tracks around there. Also a trials competition between bikes and Unis will be a part of the weekend.
They provide professional time measuring for the race and local TV is there. David Weichenberger, the actual World Champion in Downhill, supports us in planning and will try to ride there, also top riders from Germany, Austria, Slovenia and France planning to come.
i have some land there, some really nice places to ride.
There really isn’t a cheap option to get there unless you have a free lift from treviso.
When i next go down it’ll prob be driving and for over a mth as it takes around 30hrs normal driving to get down there. And if your a nutter on a motorbike around 20.
Sure i posted some info on one of the major parks on a mountain that has lots of routes and really LONG.
i know there are very cheap flight from UK to Pula 30-€ or so and we can ogranize transport from pula to gracisce and also from Rijeka
the race is very temping, you get to compare your times withsome of the top DH riders in Europ in uni and also in Bike . Trials is also there and not to mention all the other people that will be there. If you seek atention you can be sure that you will have it becouse all tv houses and press will be there to see spectacle. If there are any interest we can go one day after or before to north shore near Gracisce. i will post all the videos and pics soon
If you looking for cheap flights it could be useful to look also for flights to Cologne, Stuttgart, Frankfurt or Düsseldorf cause it seems that some Airlines from different countries start their cheap offers not before may but they do cheap flights to Germany and from there it is possible to get cheap flights to Rijeka / Pula.
As Matej wrote, we will organize transport from Airports to Gracisce. It will be also useful to post free places from people that go by Car.
Thanks Matej for posting the pics and Videos, I forget about
Croatia offers beautiful landscape, very nice people, good beer, good food interested audience and Press, very history Townships and don’t panic, most of them are able to speak German and / or English. It’s a must to visit one of the most beautiful countries in the world I think
