Fužine 2 Sea is a recreational MTB marathon organized by Adria Bike that will be held in the center of Fužine on Sunday, August 27. There are four different races to choose from, ranging in distance from 82 kilometers, 56 kilometers, 33 kilometers, and 15 kilometers.
The longest trail race is 82 km with 2,200 meters of ascent. The race begins in the deep forests of Gorski Kotar with a rapid rise to the Kvarner islands, and sharply down to Crikvenica and the coast where the temperature will rise 20 degrees higher than at the start. The Pakleni singletrail downhill will prove just as demanding as the long climb back. This race is suggested only for serious cyclists as it is hard physically and is technically difficult. But hey, at least you have the beauty of this challenging route to keep your sanity.
The two other routes - one which is 56 km and one which is 33 km - are made for enjoyment. This route takes you along red dirt roads, single turns, red hills, views of the sea, the surrounding hills and of course the woods and lakes.
For those who are not confident enough in your cycling skills, there is even a 15 kilometer route for you. This ride will begin in strictly controlled conditions on the trail around the lake.
