The Last Dance
THE LAST DANCE: THAT'S A WRAP, 2024! That’s a wrap. We closed out the 2024 group ride season in the best way we know how. On the last Sunday of the year, we took on a fast 106-kilometer loop south of Warsaw, through the beloved Chojnów Forests, heading towards Warka. 1°C above zero, fog, wet asphalt, soggy leaves, and mud. They say there’s no such thing as bad weather for cycling, but getting out of bed and onto the bike in these conditions isn’t easy. Anyone who has attempted Festive500 knows the struggle. It was for these crazy riders that we gathered at the Clubhouse on this grim Sunday morning. But also for everyone who needed to balance out the holiday calorie intake. Spirits were high, and 24 brave cyclists showed up at the start, ready to take on the cold and damp conditions. We did it—and, as always, it was fantastic.

On the way through the Middle Earth
Vast open spaces, untouched by mankind. Lush green grass and mosses, graphite rocks, and sapphire lakes. Snow-capped peaks and blue glaciers shimmering on the horizon, adding depth to the entire scene. And a gray ribbon of winding gravel road, snaking through this landscape. These were the scenes that central Norway treated us to—earning a special place in our hearts.
Glad Midsommar!
Over the course of four days, from June 19 to 22, a group of 15 brave gravel riders covered 628 km from Karlskrona to Stockholm. The guiding idea was to celebrate the longest days of the year in the saddle, heading north where the sun stays above the horizon even longer.
