The eighth edition of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites scheduled for Saturday 17 June 2017, will bring with it two new initiatives aimed at welcoming the world of women in the toughest mountain bike race, and an excursion to the Alpe di Siusi by E-bike.
And with that of the next 17 June they make eight. Eight editions of HERO, eight multiplications of challenges and emotions, of achievements and satisfactions, in a weekend that bikers are waiting for as the highlight, and not just for the competitive aspect.
In fact, the HERO Südtirol Dolomites of 86 kilometers (and 4.500 meters of elevation gain) or of 60 kilometers (with 3.200 meters of elevation gain) represents the apex of four days in which the Sella group becomes the Italian capital of mountain biking. From Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 June Selva Val Gardena will gather over 4.000 members within the HERO Bike Festival which, in this eighth edition, is enriched with new initiatives.
BE-HERO: A TOUR TO THE ALPE DI SIUSI WITH THE E-BIKE
The first novelty concerns the E-bike, the pedal assisted mountain bike that will be the protagonist of BE-HERO, an excursion organized in a cycling tourism style that will take the participants along the last kilometers of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites, when the heroes glimpse the finish line. and savor the sweet taste of the company. BE-HERO will depart from Selva Val Gardena in an absolutely non-competitive way to transit on the Alpe di Siusi plateau where you can discover the flavors of the food and wine specialties of South Tyrol. An appointment therefore on Sunday 18 June with an original and fun tasting journey that will touch four huts and shelters to have breakfast, then an aperitif, finally a regenerating lunch and to conclude dessert and coffee. The registration fee is 30,00 Euros and more info on the HERO Südtirol Dolomites website.
FOR “HER” THERE IS THE HERO WOMEN'S LOUNGE
At the HERO we also think of the other half of the sky, namely the women in the competition and all the companions of the HEROes. At the entrance to the Bike and Tech EXPO area, you will find the signs for the HERO Women's Lounge, a place entirely dedicated to making women and girls with the red H happy, obviously in HERO style. Here they will find a relaxation area for a short session of relaxing massages, a foot bath and, why not, sit in the reading corner, but also nail coloring and hairstyling. To always be in shape, here are MTB technique lessons, with E-Bike tours, and pleasant Meet & greet with the mountain bike champions, and also a pinch of fitness: from walking to running in the mountain environment. The HERO Women's Lounge proposal closes with the fashion theme with lady bike clothing and a little fun with a sip of prosecco, while the children are face painting.
