Read moreZakopane, known as the winter capital of Poland, hosts many cycling races, but this one is a true classic. It starts from Bielsko-Biala and takes the riders alongside the Polish and Slovakian border down to Zakopane. However from 186km its the last 20km that matters. The climb to Gubalowka hill may not be long or very steep, but the 15km downhill that follows is a hell of a ride. It requires both courage and good technique to cope with twisty roads leading riders down to a small uphill finish at Zakopane.
Locals are big cycling fans so there will be plenty of supporters along the road cheering up for their favorites. The winner will receive a unique trophy in a shape of a shepherd's axe called Ciupaga, which is a typical local souvenir.
