💖 Baika Tour & Baby Baika Tour – is a light 360 km bikepacking race on tarmac and gravel from Klaipėda to Vilnius.
It’s a weekend trip at your own pace. We start in the mass start and after that it’s up to your tempo. You can stop whenever you want, you can sleep wherever you want, you can go fast, you can go at chilling pace.
🔰 THE FORMAT:
– The main goal – in two incomplete days reaching capital city Vilnius from port-city Klaipėda;
– The main* Baika Tour start is Saturday 7:00 AM, time limit – until Sunday 12:00 PM;
– *We’re aware that not all of us can pedal for 180 km per day, that’s why we will add additional 24 hours for our Baby Baika Tour classification, which will start on Friday at 7:00 AM. The deadline remains the same – Sunday 12:00 PM.
– It’s a self-supported Tour, so bring all your snacks and things necessary. Unlike conventional bike-packing format it’s allowed to have a nap (if you need it) wherever you want: at a hotel, at a strangers house or in your own tent. Or maybe you can be that hero who will go without a single stop?
– You can detour off the route (for shop, B&B or whatever), but you need to come back at the same point where you left the route and continue the journey;
– All riders will be equipped with GPS transponders – we will see each other Live on the app;
– Baika Tour finish line will be open till Sunday 12:00 PM. If you’re late it doesn’t mean you can quit and surrender!
– We’re sure Baika Tour weekend will be the thing for stories to tell ;]
