February 21, 2022

Prague, Czech Republic / For the third consecutive year, a series of virtual cycling events of the Czech MTB ‘Bike for Life’ (KPŽ) races starts on ROUVY. During February and March, there will be three main races with prize money, a special Challenge and in-person exhibition events. The first race starts in 3 days, on February 24, on the track of Ralsko.

Prague, February 21, 2022 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The proven connection of the popular ROUVY application with the largest cycling MTB series in Europe, “Kolo pro život” (Bike-for-life), brings fun for top riders and amateur enthusiasts, not only from the Czech Republic but for all cyclists from around the world. Those interested will soon be able to take part in three main separate races, which will also be available via the online stream broadcast  commentated from the studio in Prague.

“We invite all cycling fans to an exciting race and hot battles. The past Olympian, Jan Bartůněk and Kamila Maříková, one of the regular participants will also take part in it. In addition, all competitors will fight for a prize purse, which will be shared between the three best men and the three best women,” comments Kryštof Kocánek, one of the organizers of ‘Kolo pro život’ events.

“In the previous year, we had over two thousand participants, and the most popular track was KPŽ Znojmo by Kooperativa. We are very pleased with the growing number of cycling enthusiasts who do not hesitate to get involved, not only from all possible corners of the Czech Republic, but also from all over the world,” adds Petr Samek, CEO of ROUVY.

The Virtual ‘Bike for Life’ Challenge will run from February 28 to April 3. Everyone who participates and goes around all the five routes: Ralsko (KPŽ Ralsko by WeLoveCycling.cz), beautiful Znojmo (KPŽ Znojmo by Kooperativa), Šumava MTB Marathon (KPŽ Šumava MTB Marathon by Kooperativa), Orlík (KPŽ Orlík Tour by WeLoveCycling.cz), Vysočina Arena (KPŽ TV NOVA Vysočina Arena Tour), will automatically enter the draw for three KPŽ LIFE season tickets (three entries to any KPŽ 2022 races) and two entries for the unique L’Etape Czech Republic by Tour de France.
