The Sorahiisi team and the Lieksan City Sports Department are co-organising the Vaskihiisi cycling event on Saturday 2.8. on the final day of the traditional Lieksan Vaskiviikko.
The event is free of charge and will run routes of about 20 and 50 kilometres from the centre of Lieksa.
The Vaskihiisi is a great opportunity to get a taste of the gravel biking trails in the Lieksa area and the Sorahiisi event in Koli at the end of August.
The 20 kilometres are low-threshold cycling and the route is mainly in urban areas, on asphalt roads. There are also some dirt roads for spice. All types of bikes are welcome.
50 kilometres is a real gravel road bike ride! The route is clearly challenging, with mainly gravel roads and lots of hills. You can join us on gravel roads or on a bike suitable for off-road riding.
Both routes are run in a towed group and you can also run the route at your own pace. Along the route there is a service point where you can refill your water bottles and have a light snack. If the ride is not completed, a shuttle service will be provided for both cyclists and cyclists back to the starting point. The routes are not marked, but will be sent to registered cyclists by phone with a map link. All participants will receive a small token at the finish line!
