    3. This is a gravel race on open to traffic roads! Please follow the traffic rules!

    4. On the way there are many points that we come from a gravel (secondary road) to a main road! On these occasions. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ENTERING THE MAIN ROAD SAFELY AND AFTER CHECKING THAT NO CARS ARE COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE MAIN ROAD!

    5. On the long distance there are 2 points on the coastal road that the route is washed out by the recent rain at 58 and 59km. The speed on those two sections can be quite high so take care to avoid falling in the ditch. You can bike or run on the beach!

    8. Winner is the rider that has completed at least the entire length of the route and has the the fastest time.

    9. Mechanical assistance: All riders should bring their own tools and spare tire or tubular to the race. Basic tools will be available in the feed zones to give riders the opportunity to fix other problems. Riders can change wheels during the event, but have to use the same bike frame throughout the event.

  • A whole new experience in this year's Bedrock gravel festival's "race" day!

    As a tradition the route is different every year so that you get a taste of our nice area and what it has to offer for gravelers!

    We start and finish from Tochni and "The Feed Zone cafe" with a small loop out and around the Tochni village followed by a long flat section to the first feed zone! Shortly after that the long distance continues the fast flat section on the scenic coastal gravel road towards Kiti and then Tersefanou. The middle distance after the first feed zone we head north to start the climbing part of the middle route.

    The long distance after Tersefanou we enter the wind turbines park of the area, before we head towards Stavronouni area which is the highest point of the route and the second feed zone. From there we start descending towards Alaminos village. From there the long and the middle distance are on the same route!

    Short hills, fast descends and lots of fun until the finish line!
