This will be my 9th GBI. Sport is my life - I am an ultramarathon runner, also loving long distance biking and spinning. GBI for me is charity and discovery of new countries, cultures, food and drinks… So my team will aim to enjoy the tour - making the best out of the biking side, but also allocating time to visit the nicest sites and to get to know each other while enjoying the best local restaurants or cafeterias. We are fully open to diversity, so please feel free to join us and to start the event with a joint dinner the evening preceding the start. We mostly target to ride Track 1, but based on the team's ambition, might choose Track 2 once or twice during the week.

Fragkiskos Vellis
Track 2 (25 km/h)
Languages: Greek, English
This is the Hellenic-British Team. Hellas/Hellenic is the proper way to call Greece/Greek. So, this is a team led by an experienced GBIan, of Hellenic nationality, who has been living and working in Britain for the last 5 years, hence the name!
We will be riding with discipline and with attention to safety. Averaging 25-26 km/h we will prefer the challenge of the longer route (Track 2) if weather permits and we are in the right mood. We will form pacelines where reasonable and we will take turns in pulling the group. If you don't know exactly how to do that - don't worry, we will teach you! We will certainly be looking for the best coffee and the best food en route!
Expect to hear a lot of Greek but also a lot of English language being used. The team is open to anyone who would like to join but please align with the team leader beforehand.
OPEN TEAM
Languages: (Swiss-) German, English
The main objective of this team is to have fun together. Cycling, talking, cycling, little bit sightseeing, cycling, meeting the friends from the last years, cycling. This sounds like a successful day!! Average speed is planned around 22km/h. After 2/3 of the daily stage we will have a lunch break for 45 – 60 minutes. We will stay together for the whole day, we leave no rider behind except when we climb mountains and where we'll gather at the top again. We always take care of each other.
Because of various (personal) challenges, Uli, who usually leads the team, cannot guarantee full availability for the whole ride. Therefore the team should internally agree on a co-teamleader to take over if Uli is not availabe.

TEAM Super Cyclists
Clemens Steger
Track 2 (28 km/h)
Languages: German, English
We (Lisanne & Clemens) are an Austrian-German couple sharing the passion of appreciating nature, outdoor activities and spending good times in a community. The opportunity of satisfying those desires while sitting on a racing bike and raising funds for less privileged fellow human beings is not to be beaten by anything and at the same time the main idea behind the GBI movement for us. After we can already count two fantastic GBI tours together in the saddle, this year for the first time we are forming our own team.
We are excited about sharing this experience with anybody who is open for racing bike rides with a decent mixture of sportive passages and at the same time enough room for breaks and opportunities to enjoy cool spots or locations on our way. We are planning to have one longer lunch break at half-distance and possibly one or two shorter breaks for coffee or beer. We are planning to ride Track 2 on default but decide on a daily basis within the team which of the tracks we would like to go at the end.
We are looking forward to a few days of good time (and weather) in June and people from any cultural background who share the same mindset and would like to join us on the way from Bratislava to Munich.

Mixed team of a number of cyclists who have completed numerous GBI`s togehter. Ave. speed is usually around 28. (Cycling at 30KM + over longer periods of time, shouldn`t be a problem for you). We usually stop at least once during the day for a longer break, other shorter breaks are possible. Our goal is to be in base camp around an hour after it is opened to allow for a longer period of re-generation. In general the core of the team are experienced cyclists who cycle well in a group, who ensure the group stays together and whose main priority is to stay safe and have fun. For this group it is a huge advantage if you have experience cycling in a group. (The main language spoken is German).
