Outside the transition zone, the organiser does not assume any security guarantees or claims for damages due to theft.

- MTB routes
On the MTB tracks there is a risk of slipping and rolling on loose, sandy ground. Old ruts are hard and sometimes dangerous to ride. There are some track changes to 2018 for all tracks.
Please take enough liquid with you.
