Ride on!

The first special stage (PS 1) starts in the Vf. Mutu area and involves traveling along a path approximately 1.3 km long, to the finish point. A push bike area follows to reach the start of PS 2, from where a new route approximately 2.5 km long will be traveled, which will bring the competitors back to Terasa Montana.

From here, the next 4 special stages take place on the Baloo and Lupilor routes, which will be divided in two.

Thus, PS3 starts from the Baloo bear cage and will travel the first half of the Baloo route, which stretches for 1.9 km. From here, the competitors will go out to the asphalt road (where they will find a fuel point) and will pedal on it until they return to the general start. Next, the participants will head to PS 4, which covers the first half of the Lupilor route, over a length of approximately 1.8 km. Afterwards, they will retreat to the supply point on the paved road and transfer to PS 5, with a distance of 1.2 km, more precisely, the second half of the Baloo route. Having reached the finish area of this segment, the competitors will go out again to the paved road, which they will pedal to the supply point, from where they will be directed to the start of PS 6, the second half of the Lupilor route, which runs over a distance of 1.3 km.

The registration of the competitors and the general start will take place at Terasa Montana, Straja resort, Lupeni Municipality.
