Warm up your bib shorts and get ready to make the German asphalt blush without the slightest mercy. We’re taking you on a cycling triptych where the small gears will creak hard!

Headed to the district of Black Forest-Baar, right in the heart of Baden-Württemberg. The menu lists three stages for the true road convicts. The full event demands you swallow an explosive individual time trial to start. The competitors then follow up with two formidable road stages.

The tarmac route launches you right into the middle of the demanding Black Forest terrain. Your body will have to digest grinding climbs and ultra-technical descents through the wild nature of the Baar plateau. The immersion becomes fascinating as you ride through the streets of Bad Dürrheim, the only town in the region to hold the prestigious double title of saline and climatic spa resort. Riding mile after mile across this area instantly connects you to southern Germany’s long tradition of well-being.

Popular excitement turns the surrounding peaceful forest roads into a true open-air velodrome. Locals frantically ring their cowbells to give you wings on the most treacherous gradients. Getting off the saddle to explore the surroundings promises superb adventures with your loved ones. Discovering the vertiginous Triberg waterfalls, less than forty minutes by car, guarantees a totally mind-blowing aquatic spectacle.

Save one last burst of energy to admire the monumental source of the Danube River in Donaueschingen, hidden just fifteen minutes from the paddock. Then, cruising peacefully on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Titisee offers the whole family a total disconnect. Shift into the big ring and come etch your time onto the legendary roads of RiderMan!
