N.B.
Some longer bicycling tours are recommended before the Marathon Bicycling in order to familiarise oneself with the adjustments of the bike and to get used to sitting on the bicycle saddle for about am. 10.30 hours in a day.
It is also a good idea to have one’s bicycle serviced; checking the bearings, gear, the chains and the tires is recommended for such a long tour.
We kindly ask you to be prepared for chilly and rainy weather, too. Long-sleeved as well as waterproof clothing is recommended.
A bicycle helmet is compulsory during the cycling!
