What kinds of trails will we be riding?
Each ride will depend on the weather and of course on the riders! Our trusted partners the Rasenmäher will handpick the trails which will be suitable for every rider, panoramic meadow paths, or more technical routes in the woods – that will depend on the riding group. If you are not that good of a rider you should join us anyway – because our GAP Pub Bike Ride is not about collecting elevation meters, it is about having fun and finding the flow on the trails. You should, therefore, bring your own mountain bike & helmet.
What about the weather conditions you ask?
If the weather is so bad, and the rain has impacted the trails so much that there are only puddles and mud left, we have a plan B. We will meet at the same place, at the same time, and offer you valuable workshops: in things on how to care about your bike, how to manage basic repairs, or how to bleed your brakes. All the necessities that every mountain biker should know.
Who are the Rasenmäher?
For how many years Die Rasenmäher have been shaping the international bike scene, the two don’t even want to say out loud. Karen Eller and Holger Meyer were both bikers of the first German hour, became bike professionals, won races, wrote books, became part of a special movement. But above all, biking took them to beautiful places in the Alps and around the world. It also brought them into contact with exciting people and cultures. So the two of them quickly discovered what they particularly enjoy: opening up to others what they themselves find so fulfilling. That was the motivation to found Die Rasenmäher in 2000.
