HALL OF LEGENDS
Todo ciclista que se atreve a tomar la salida merece reconocimiento. Cada finisher es un ganador. Pero hay otro nivel, reservado para quienes llegan hasta el final.
En Ultracycling Challenges, creemos que simplemente estar en la línea de salida ya requiere valentía. Completar un reto es un logro en sí mismo, y cada finisher se gana nuestro respeto.
Pero los Major Challenges exigen algo más. La Monaco di Baviera Classic, The Great Crossing Epic y Holy (Shit) Alps Conquest plantean un reto sin atajos. Para ganarse un lugar en el Hall of Legends, los ciclistas deben completar toda la ruta y conseguir los 100 Explorer Points.
Es una hazaña al alcance de muy pocos, y sus nombres quedan inscritos en el Hall of Legends.
Hasta ahora, solo 79 ciclistas han conseguido esta distinción.
79 Legends.
Y quizá, algún día, el siguiente nombre sea el tuyo.
