Ride the Alps 2019

It is almost time. The rally is in a few weeks and we are gearing up for an awesome time. As always, the weather will be perfect along with the scenery and camaraderie.

IMPORTANT : This year, we will not be putting up the directional signs along the route. Due to some complaints from local officials and the safety of our staff, we are going to do our best to provide you directions to ensure a safe and memorable poker run.

Below are the routes, please download the GPS data. We have one route suggested for all riders of all abilities. We have another variation of that route that is for experienced riders only. Both go in the same direction. Both will see the highlights of the ride. This year we are going back to the route that started it all. Depending on which variation you take, you will summit the famous Hahntenjoch for unrivalved views of the Alps. There are some inherent risks you should expect like hair pin turns and long decents. This should only be attempted in favorable weather conditions and by experienced riders. You are responsible for attempting the ride.

Please download the GPX data ahead of time and load it into your GPS unit or phone. We will provide a map but nothing beats the turn by turn guidance of a GPS unit. On Friday we will have a ride briefing where we can answer any questions you may have. There are gas stations along the route, but only one Esso along the route. It is suggested you fill up at the Garmisch ESSO prior to leaving on the poker run.
