The coronavirus hit the start of the MTB season like a wrecking ball. Favourite routines have suddenly disappeared: the short trip to southern climes. The marathon highlight in summer. Even the long-planned crossing of the Alps is wobbling. Many things could no longer be planned. But to ensure that the mountain bike summer of 2020 doesn't fall through completely, BIKE and the Stoneman team have come up with something very special: the Stoneman Grand Tour 2020. Master three or five of the Stoneman tours and enter your name in the exclusive list of finishers. Whether with your best mates or alone. Whether you want to complete the Stoneman Miriquidi in one day or the Stoneman Taurista in three days: it doesn't matter. Every ride, every Stoneman tour counts.
Stoneman Grand Tour - secure your starter pack now
All Stoneman routes open until July 2020
Book your Stoneman Grand Tour starter pack and get going! Because the Stoneman Miriquidi in the Ore Mountains has been open since 8 May. Due to the closed border with the Czech Republic, there is even a new C-edition, which runs entirely on the German side. The Stoneman Dolomiti in Italy, the mother of all Stoneman tours by ex-professional biker Roland Stauder, opens on 5 June. The Stoneman Taurista in Salzburger Land opens on 10 June - with an improved route for 2020. Thanks to the new routes, the German and Austrian Stoneman will also be of interest to bikers who have already conquered it. The next highlight is just over a week later: On 19 and 20 June, there will be a two-day guiding session with Stoneman founder Roland Stauder: on the Stoneman Miriquidi. An easy introduction to the Stoneman world for anyone who has always wanted to get to know the former MTB pro or familiarise themselves with the Stoneman in general. Bikers can officially ride the alpine Stoneman Glaciara in Switzerland from 26 June. And the latest Stoneman in Belgium - the Stoneman Arduenna - starts its first season on 3 July.
Three out of five or full house?
There are two starter packages to choose from for the exclusive BIKE Stoneman Grand Tour: For the "Champ" version, you can take on three Stoneman adventures. The Champ package costs a fair 33 euros. For all those who want more and want to go "all in", we have the "Legend" package package. With it, you can take on five Stoneman tours. Those who manage it will certainly remember the 2020 bike season for a long time. For ambitious athletes and amateur racers, a place in the Legend finisher list The Stoneman Grand Tour is a worthy replacement for the cancelled marathon placement. Price: 55 euros.
