What is the idea of the Road Sailing Club 100 and who is behind it?
We are cycling enthusiasts who have worked in the German offshore wind industry since the early pioneering days. Over time we met many people in our industry who share a passion for cycling, and we often concluded that we should ride together one day. That's how the annual Road Sailing Club 100 challenge came about — a day of cycling and chatting. This is a private initiative, with no company or marketing department behind it.
Is it a race?
No. It is not about speed and competition, but about a group challenge and companionship. There is no ranking, and everyone who makes it to the finish line is a winner. Following the core principles of seamanship, we will not leave anyone behind.
Do I need to be a pro to attend?
First and foremost, you need to love cycling. Whether you come with your aero carbon racer or your gravel bike, you are welcome. There will be enough riders of different levels to find companions who match your pace. We recommend that you have already completed a 100 km ride before.
Will there be food and drinks on the road?
It is an unsupported event, so riders organise food and drinks themselves. However, there are many checkpoints along the route where you can buy cake, candy and Coke. Checkpoints are the perfect chance to refuel, connect with fellow riders and share the ride together.
When and where does the next ride take place?
The second edition takes place on 19th June 2027, starting in Hamburg. The route will be announced here and via the newsletter. You will receive the final route via Komoot and as a GPS track file a few days before the start.
How do I register?
Registration will open in early 2027. Sign up to the newsletter and you will be first to know the moment it opens.
I cannot bring my bike. Where can I rent one?
