Start and finish of the Global Biking Day in Germany is the headquarter of the Rowing Club Duisburg directly located at the regatta course Duisburg-Wedau. After cycling we will meet there again for a relaxing time with friends and good food and drinks.

Itinerary

There are four different challenging and interesting routes developed your in the southern Ruhr area. We will start from the regatta course in Duisburg-Wedau. The tracks follow the river Ruhr and along the Baldeneysee. From here we head towards the hills of the Elfringhauser Schweiz. Where track 1 is returning with only few hills back to Duisburg, the other tracks lead to a much more hilly region with some awesome climbs and views. There is even a track especially for gravel cyclists with some dedicated kilometers on a gravelled old railway track, used nowadays for cycling.
