Góry Sowie: road brevet and gravel ride 2026

On October 17, 2026, Bike&Hike Sowie and Strefa MTB Sudety host a joint cycling day from Pensjonat Rzeczka. Registration and brevet card collection open at 07:00; start at 08:00 Polish local time. Choose the Audax Club Parisien homologated Wielka Sowa 200 km road brevet, Mała Sowa 140 km road route, or Sowie gravelowe, approximately 100 km for gravel and MTB riders. The latest organizer announcement lists roughly 3,300 m ascent for the 200 km route and 2,300 m for the 140 km and gravel routes; the separate event pages still show earlier lower figures. Final GPX files are expected about a week before the start. Gravel surfaces are approximately 30% asphalt and 70% gravel. An MTB variant is also being prepared with easier Srebrna Góra sections and Nowa Ruda singletracks. There are 4–6 checkpoints on road routes and 3–6 on gravel, without staffed support. Riders collect stamps or answer questions on their cards. A total of 150 places covers all three distances. The PLN 99 entry includes coffee/tea at the start and a warm finish meal. Partners include Dolina Piekielnicy, Trasy Enduro Srebrna Góra, Sheep and Raven, Anaberg and Cydr Radosny. The organizer aims for riders to return before sunset around 17:00; this is not a confirmed finish time. Register using the organizer form.
