The route of this year’s cyclosportive leads towards Madžarevo, takes riders over Bela and Margečan to Železnica. There cyclists can take a break at “Ranch Chivas” and enjoy lunch as well as try out horseback riding! The route back takes us over Završje and Podvečevo through Remetinec and back to Novi Marof. The policemen from 4th Police Station “Novi Marof” will take care of safety and traffic regulations.
“This year’s moto is in Croatian and we wanted to motivate the cyclists. In short it’s “Ride the bike, hills don’t bite”! say the organizers.
Over the years “Šic na Bic” has become one of the most famous recreative cyclosportive events in north Croatia. Around 300 cyclists are expected to hit the pavement and pedal over 40 kilometers of the “Marofski bregi”.
