Sep 9, 2015

The Grass-Race 6.0 is in the books now. The Froeriders from Olpe, near to Cologne organize a familiar charity race event every year. It takes place on the little ski-hill in Fahlenscheid. Doesn't matter if you are rookie, a pro or a spectator - nobody comes to short on this event. The riders were provided with a funny, fast and technical track, while the spectators got a good show and the chance to be part of a big raffle. Here everybody had the chance to win one of the many frames or other bike parts and apparel.

Check out the course preview below:
