Stages

Prolog

The Prologue is opening XC time trial with an interval start, which shows the level of the technical and physical difficulty of all race.

The Prologue is approx. 10 km long with eight special tests for enduro in a close area at Teplice nad Metuji. This race guides competitors through pinewood or around rock blocks (sometimes nearer than man wants) and shows that it is possible to ascend and descend quite many heigh meters in a small area. So the Prologue will not be easy.

For keeping fair condition for all bikers and endurists the correct map of Prologue will be declassified in the race day.

1st stage– Vrani Hory

The first stage of the MTB Trilogy combines characters of both previous stages. So bikers can look forward to long trails along the Czech-Polish border, with sand blocks and rocks along the way. Riding skills will be checked with gravel downhills. There is an amazing view of the Giant Mountains panorama (with the highest mountain in the Czech Republic – Snezka) after a long uphill to the highest point of the stage – Kralovecky Spicak (881 m n.m.). The highlight of the stage is the renowned and feared downhill from Jansky hill. The trail leads along the edge of a rock (with a Keltic menhir) and ends in a very steep downhill section with a dusty surface.

2nd stage – Kleine Alpen

According to the track architect, the 2nd stage is the most challenging but the most beautiful stage of the MTB Trilogy. The distinguishing features of this stage are litter, gravel, old volcanoes, tunnels and a ford.

The track guides bikers in the Javori mountains and the Gory Suche on the sides of old volcanoes in Poland.

Have you ever ridden your bike through a 385-m-long old railway tunnel built by A. Hitler? No? Now you have a unique chance to look inside. Whether there will be darkness inside and light only on its end, or whether it will be illuminated in time, nobody knows.
