Welcome to Cykelvasan 45
Your cycling event starts in Oxberg. You can pick up your start number in Mora, either in the days before or at the start area before you head off. Once there, you leave your bag with change of clothes at the correct truck – which safely transports your bag to the finish. The first start is at 11.00. After that, starts go in groups of approximately 200 participants every five minutes. Entry to the start groups opens 20 minutes before each start.
The event covers 43.3 km of forest and gravel roads and 1.7 km of asphalt, and you pass a total of three checkpoints. Here you can refuel with drinks and energy, and there’s also bike service where you can get help with simple repairs. Toilets and medical personnel are available at all checkpoints.
There is a cut-off time at each checkpoint, but you have plenty of time to reach the finish. Remember to be considerate on the course: look an extra time before you overtake and listen carefully to other cyclists’ calls like “keep right” and “passing on the left”.
When you arrive in Mora and glimpse the church tower, you know the final stretch is approaching. Then it’s time to gear up for the finish. Remember to savor the moment as you roll in under the historic finish portal.
After crossing the finish line, you receive your well-earned medal and are offered drinks and snacks. When you’re ready, cycle to the showers at Prästholmens IP where your bag is waiting. After showering and washing your bike, you can cycle back to the finish area, pick up your diploma and continue celebrating and mingling with all the other cyclists. Guarded, free bike parking is available at the finish area and at Prästholmen.
Every finish is a victory. We’ll see you on the course!
