“Be a part of a record!”-VeloEvolution bike procession, May 20th

This, already traditional, bike procession of Sofia will start at 6 p.m. at the St. Aleksander Nevski Square on the 20th of May.

The event coincides with the international day of “riding a bike to work”. And, this is the message the VeloEvolution team wants to, once more, convey – riding a bike is a great way to go to work, to school or anywhere in town. And also, they are trying to persuade the society to understand the bikers and their needs, to be more tolerant and open for more bikes on the roads and more biking infrastructure.

This is the serious part and now for the excitement of the procession. The route will follow the boulevards Rakovski, Patriarch Evtimii, Fridtjof Nansen, Evlogi Georgiev and will end at the statue of the Soviet Army. You can view a detailed map here. All streets will be closed for cars during the procession.

Now, for the record! The idea is to park a maximum vehicles and their passengers on a given space of 16 parking slots. That is, how many bikes and bikers can fit where 16 cars can.

And if all of this is not enough to raise your biking spirit, VeloEvolution organized a concert after the event with the band Ayavis.

This is another nice event by VeloEvolution - the cause, the program, and the organization are excellent. We can tell because we were at the event last year and it was great.

See you all there!

Mini DH Competition, Sofia, March 27th 2011

Downhill in the park? Yes, this youth (under 18) competition will take place in “Zapaden Park” or the big western park of Sofia.   

The organizers are some of the guys who regularly ride there – Lyubomir Toshev and Yavor Gruev. The idea of the event is to target and support participants under 18.

The length of the track, as the event name suggests, will be shorter. The competition will be easy to attend and there will be plenty of space for audience. So, if you are intrigued, you are kindly invited to support the young riders.

The participants will be split in 5 groups - A: 13-14; B: 15-16; C: 17-18; D: Women and E: “Elite”. The last group will comprise participants who will be specially invited to demonstrate their skills. 

If you are interested in the event, you can write to the organizers at: minidhsofia@abv.bg or register on the day of the event. The entre fee is 10lv.

The participants are required to wear helmets and also have the “Sport accident” insurance for the day of the event (costs about 3lv.)

The event is followed on the MTB-BG forum and the info was translated from their site.
