Croatian MTB and Unicycle Downhill Cup

CROATIAN MTB AND UNICYCLE DOWNHILL CUP

GRAčIšćE (\"HTTP://WWW.GRACISCE.HR/\"), 27TH - 29TH
APRIL 2007

Maybe as one of the first big DH races in Europe, the
Gračišće Downhill race will do a separate class for unicycles
this year. At 'istradh.com' (http://www.istradh.com) you can find some
information about the track and a lot of pictures from last year.
The track is 2132 meters long, starting at an altitude of 450m and
ending at an altitude of 100m with technical and speedy parts. You can
also win some amazing unicycle prizes.
Cost will be 20 € and for that you will get free camping and food which
we will specify more detail about soon. You will find a trials track
also and there is a lot of XC tracks around there. Also a trials
competition between bikes and Unis will be a part of the weekend.
They provide professional time measuring for the race and local TV is
there. David Weichenberger, the actual World Champion in Downhill,
supports us in planning and will try to ride there, also top riders
from Germany, Austria, Slovenia and France planning to come.

*So come on and 'sign in' (http://www.quadruvium.com/indexDHE.html) for
that great adventure.*

i have some land there, some really nice places to ride.

There really isn't a cheap option to get there unless you have a free
lift from treviso.

When i next go down it'll prob be driving and for over a mth as it
takes around 30hrs normal driving to get down there. And if your a
nutter on a motorbike around 20.

Sure i posted some info on one of the major parks on a mountain that
has lots of routes and really LONG.

I'm norm in the istria region.

Earlier, Olaf told me Rijeka is closest. Flights there seem reali bad.
Looks like to get there might have to fly to different airport, or do
it in two halves.

Ok scrap that post.

I know the area very well, I've stayed at a really nice B&B. Super
clean and the biggest pillows of your life.

Svetlena is her name and if you mention me and unicycle she will
remember. It's across the palace.

If you going to drive down some time mention it to me and I'd love to
come down and have a hol.

I'll dig out some pics tomorrow.
