Macin mountain bike race 2013

The first edition of the cross country / marathon competition held in Tulcea, Măcin Mountain Bike Race 2013, with start and finish in Greci. The competition takes place in the Măcin Mountains starting at 11 am.

The event has two routes: Amateur 35 km and Elite 45 km.

The registration fee is divided into two categories:

1. Macin XC Custom Cotton T-Shirt Registration Package
- 50 lei (RON) - until May 14, 2013
- 70 lei (RON) - between May 14 - 24, 2013

2. Macin XC personalized cycling jersey registration package
- 90 lei (RON) - until May 14, 2013
- 110 lei (RON) - between May 14 - 24, 2013

Amateur - 35 km - is not very physically demanding, has a light-medium technicality, the most difficult part being the climb of approximately 6 km, 3 km after the start, then following a hilly route that goes along the main ridge of Macini. The route ends with a long descent of approximately 9 km from the top of the mountains, through the village of Greci to the exit, and after another 3 km, it's done!

Elite - 45 km - a route created and named "3 climbs" by Ionascu "Maus" Marius, with 3 breathtaking climbs and 3 spectacular descents. If the first climb is the same as the amateur (warm-up) climb, the next two (especially the last one - career) only Elites can climb on their bikes. Don't be fooled by the fact that the route is short, just think that you don't have many rest areas on these 45 km. The organizers guarantee that the route is 100% bikeable in good weather.

The organizers highly recommend that participants use self-vulcanizing compound in their tires. It seems that the area is rich in flat tire opportunities.
