BIKEFEST in Kálnica

The last May and extraordinary sunny weekend went in cycling. On May 27th - 29th, the KEMA motorcycle club DEMA met hundreds of cycling enthusiasts in all age groups. Competitors have experienced racing, amateur enthusiasts, as well as the smallest racers not only from Slovakia but also from neighboring countries.

The bike park area has a number of special tracks adapted to the individual competition disciplines that took place during the race. Disciplines such as Pumptrack, XC Eliminator, Enduro, XC Elevation, Slopstyle, Airbag, Dual Slalom, Downhill and Marathon took place in several categories during the weekend and brought their winners as well. The smallest cyclists have measured the strength in the Kenzel Children's Zone Cycle.

A unique Saturday event of the world-wide format was the extreme Garmin slopstyle FMB World Tour, where riders from Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia and Russia took part in addition to Slovak riders. The contestants presented a show full of adrenaline, high jumps and figures in the air. On Sunday, the popular Kellys Bikefest marathon took place every year, attracting a large number of participants. Racers could choose from three circuits - 49km, 23km and 6km long family circuit suitable for children. This year, the marathon also attended non-professional professional racers competing for points within the European Cup of Deaf. In addition to the standard categories, they had the opportunity to start racers on electric bikes for the first time. The fastest riders on the Grand and Medium Circle were crowned as King of the Caldera Forest.

Many accompanying events and a rich musical program also took place within the festival. Visitors could test around 400 bicycles for 3 days. There was also an exhibition area in which the thematic exhibitors presented their products. Together with the exhibitors, the regional tourism organization Trenčín Region presented its stand, where visitors could not only get interesting information about the Trenčín region but they could also participate in the competition for nice prizes.
