For the third year in a row, a group of CROZ cycling enthusiasts is organizing the CROZ Gravel – a cycling tour through the wonderful Vukomeričke gorice.
Gravel cycling means that we will ride bikes on the road, but also on forest and macadam paths. Don’t worry, we have a route for both ambitious and recreational riders.
We are happy to invite all our clients, partners, and cycling fans to join us on this tour on June 11, 2022.
To warm up well before pedaling, we invited Silvijo Pale-Halić as a guest. Silvijo is the good spirit of the Croatian randonneur scene, responsible for our brevets pedaling in the Croatian jersey. In his lecture (or brevetaš in our language), Silvijo will describe his journey from a middle-aged man to a tireless brevetaš with 22,748 kilometers driven last year. He will also tell us his impressions from last year’s edition of the world’s largest and most famous patent, Paris-Brest-Paris (https://www.paris-brest-paris.org/).
The start and finish of the tour are at Cowboy resort in Markuševec Turopoljski. The gathering will start at 9:00 AM – with coffee and preparation talk, as well as an ordinary day at CROZ.
Participants can choose between the long route (41 km) and the short route (22 km). We are starting the Gravel as a group, there won’t be any control spots or time measuring – just pure fun.
Lunch will be provided for all participants. All the calories burned in cycling should be fairly recovered.
You can register for the CROZ Gravel until June 3 here.
