From the organizer’s website:
“Tour de Gruene is an amazing ride – offering four different tour lengths in 2013. The Recreational Tours are just for fun. There are relaxation stations set up around the course so that you will be able to stop for restrooms, replenish your liquids and get a snack before continuing. There are no prizes for who finishes ahead of who — it is a time to enjoy the camaraderie alongside fellow cyclists who share your love of touring the beautiful countryside – and then get back to enjoy the charm and ambiance of Gruene – or head for the Wursthalle for the German Festival.”
