In addition to the competitions in various categories, there will be a recumbent and accessories trade fair, a second-hand recumbent bicycle market, a trial circuit, a three-country-bicycle-tour, films, and the opportunity to participate in group lunches and dinner buffets. There are also options for various accommodation possibilities within ten kilometers (6.2 miles) of the circuit. In short; an event that is not only about racing, but worth combining with a vacation in this beautiful area.
