The Goulinas MTB Race 2024 is a new route compared to previous years, which starts and ends in the beautiful Sperchiada. The total distance of Goulinas 43 km, covers 1,698 meters of ascent and descent, with a very smooth curve in +altitude. The route passes through dense forests of oak, holly, sycamore and fir, creating a unique experience for participants.
At the beginning of the route, the cyclists move through the town of Sperchiada passing of course the bombed Agios Nikolaos on the south side of the town where the entrance to the dirt terrain is made.
Then we have the passage through the stream and the plane trees to begin the ascent to the Prophet Elias. Entrance to a nature trail to take riders through a holly and oak forest where the terrain changes require technique and skill. As we ascend to the heights, the landscape changes with dense fir forests, offering coolness and shade along the way. The gradients reach up to 10 degrees, creating challenges for both the endurance and the technical abilities of the cyclists.
One of the most beautiful moments of the route is passing natural springs with plenty of drinking water. These springs offer a refreshing stop for cyclists, who can fill their flasks and cool off before continuing their journey.
On the way back downhill, cyclists pass through dense forests of sycamore/holly/oak), where the broad leaves provide shade and the cool environment is ideal to complete their course safely.
The route ends again in Sperchiada, where the participants, upon completion of the race, can enjoy their recovery, as well as the local flavors...
The variety of terrain and landscapes make the Goulinas MTB Race 2024 a unique experience for every cyclist. From oak and holly forests to natural springs and beautiful chapels, this route offers something special for every participant.
Finally, volunteers, rescuers and supply points will be there where they need to be, so that you feel safe throughout the race.
In both races there will be prizes in these categories:
Α1 (έως 18)
Α2 (19-29)
Α3 (40+)
Women
e-bikes
We start our wonderful route from the Central Square of Sperchiada "Athanasios Akridas". The first 400m. is asphalt and then we take the uphill over the wreckage of the bombed (by the Germans in the war of 1940) Agios Nikolaos, where our route climbs up a path for about 1 km, where we fall into the stream, after our descent. We come out onto the tarmac for about 100m to take the necessary breaths for the first demanding uphill section of the route on a gravel forest road for about 350m to the chapel of Profitis Ilias, where a beautiful and fast path starts for about 1km through holm oak, pine, oak and gullies, until we meet the tarmac.
After about 230m of asphalt road we enter a very fast path capable of overtaking for 2.5km (we find running water in the middle of this route at the watering trough before the first wooden bridge) until we reach a rural road. We continue pedaling uphill to reach the fountain t'Labiri (also running cool water) after about 1 km. Entering again an open slightly uphill path we reach at an altitude of 500m the beautiful chapel of Panagia Gorgiani where is the first supply station with amazing shade in the plane trees. In the next kilometer we pass by the legendary motocross track and enter the best trails on our route. Specifically, after the motocross track, after we press for 250m of asphalt to take the necessary breaths, we start for about 2.5km of very technical and difficult passages through oak, holly, plane trees and many beautiful gullies. We arrive at about 11km where our two routes separate.
The Diasergiani Race continues left downhill on a forest road in the so-called "Kokkinia" for about 700m. until the small chapel of Agios Athanasios where we will enter the Voidolivado path. This is the fastest trail of the route and perhaps the most enjoyable as you will develop high speeds for about 4 "crazy" km through holly-oak and again holly in amazing landscape changes.
A very fast categorical track with straights where nature has taken care to give us routes that will remain unforgettable, while the volunteerism and the passion of the people of the organization have taken care of the rest by making wooden bridges and beautiful "descents" in the dirt. There are several places to overtake but also many ...dangerous until we find the stream "Maritsa" where we have tunnels made of holly. Side by side in the stream we cycle again quickly on a zig-zag path and we reach the point to enter the last 3 km of the route, where those who have ...courage make their overtakes before reaching the finish line in the Central Square of Sperchiada.
In both races there will be prizes in these categories:
Α1 (έως 18)
Α2 (19-29)
Α3 (40+)
