Occasionally, cyclists we fall into the error to always perform the same routes, drive around the roads we know and use the path where we feel comfortable, but what would be up if somebody propose you to participate in a race where the main objective is to explore and discover all the nooks and crannies of an impressive area?
The Honor Race has been created by the team On y va Sports Culture, with a format very different from the cycle–tourist races that we are used to do, in fact, they don’t want to be known as such. THR is a cycling race by teams in which come first enjoy cycling, explore new areas, orientation, and, of course, good food.
We invite you to not miss this incredible race, we love and hope will be the first of many.
What has led you to organize a race as THR?
The answer is simple, the significance and style which many cycle–tourist rides have reached, the most moves from cycle-tourist to cycle-competition, where people go to get their best time with risky overtaking wanting to be the best of all “friends”. This is mainly why we want to create an event, where come first the cycling enjoyment, find unique locations, normally unknown unless you have a local cycling friend or you got lost.
What will the participants find the day of the race?
Friendship, fun, unscheduled slopes and good food. In the end, The Honor Race is like a Saturday ride that you could easily do with your friends or team, but with the difference that you have to complete an exclusive circuit, which surely you would not find, or you would not get out of the commodity of riding the slopes already scheduled, offering a different event beginning and ending between friends, food and lots of cycling culture.
We can assure you, that it is the only event where you start having breakfast. From here imagine how the morning will go.
What’s the difference between THR and the other cycle-tourist races?
Fact is not a cycle-tourist race, it’s a cycling event. It is very different. The people who participate, is people who want to venture out and do out of the ordinary. Wanting to present in an organized event (only 180 participants formed teams) but at the same time where each team will have to orientate, search and find the path that suits better.
Is THR for everyone?
You don’t have any time limit and you are able to stop at checkpoints, so that offers the opportunity to spend all morning to complete the approximate 120 km, enjoying the scenery that offers us in this case the Penedès. Teams will start at 8:00 am in the morning and they only have to remember that the lunch will begin at 2:00 pm.
