If we thought that Vršič could only be reached by car, mountain or road bike, we were seriously mistaken. On June 6, Red Bull Goni Pony invites persistent and brave cyclists to a combined classic - with a Pony bike to Vršič.
Red Bull Goni Pony at the beginning of June, it organizes the union of two unforgettable classics – Pony bikes and climb to Vršič. It's time to oil the chain, inflate the tires, tighten the brakes and groom our pony and climb the 13.5 kilometer long and 801 meter high climb to 1611 meters above sea level from the Lek Hotel in Kranjska Gora.
Over the 24 serpentines that lead to the top of Vršič, which every true cyclist must conquer at least once in his life with his two-wheeled steel steed, at 3 p.m. we will ride from the heart of the Kranjska Gora along the Borovška road past the Kompas Hotel to the Lek Hotel, where the race is just about to start. The road will be closed to traffic on this day, so don't worry. Put your feet in the highest gear and accelerate to the top. The winner is the one who "pins" to the top first.
And if we get a little short of breath at the top, the descent will be easier and more fun. The "Kontra" and the front brake will be in use all the time, so we will stop to cool them down so they don't overheat, and the stops will be accompanied by crazy surprises. If we haven't conquered Vršič by bike yet, now is the right time. Be brave!
