17A CABRERÈS BTT

24/5/2009   Spain

If you want to win the Golden Bike on May 24th, you’ll have to dominate the 17th annual CABRERÈS BTT in L’esquirol, Spain. Which, put bluntly, will be easier said than done. First of all, there’s the 65 kilometers of rocky track to contend with. But more importantly, there’s the 3000 other riders who also want the Golden Bike.

The Sudirol Dolomiti Superbike calls itself “the hardest mountain bike race in the Dolomites.” Well, it’s about to get even harder. With the Golden Bike being up for grabs, we highly recommend finishing first. Because second place gets nothing and likes it.

Nissan UCI WC Race

If you’re looking for an easy place to win the Golden Bike, don’t bother coming to Maribor, Slovenia. With a rocky and technical course, this is probably one of the toughest tracks on the Golden Bike Series. Which makes the Nissan UCI WC Race one of our favorites.

If you want to win the Golden Bike in Norway, you'd better be fast. Because the 70 kilometer SykkelEner'n is mostly fireroad with some sick descents. Oh, and did we mention you'll have to beat over 1000 competitors? Good luck with that.

Welcome to Rotorua, home of the best mountain biking venue in New Zealand. The Whaka 100 is a single lap, singletrack race that - you guessed it - is 100 kilometers. Which should be just enough to separate the Golden Bike Winner from those who are unworthy.
