Velosolutions Baltics & Downhill.lv proudly presents one of the biggest bike gatherings and festivals of the year. Join us on July 13th and 14th at Gaiziņkalns, Latvia, for an unforgettable event! 

We welcome everyone who loves to ride or simply enjoys being around bikes. Be part of the party, cheer for your favorite riders, and experience the thrill. The weekend will feature the Baltic DH Cup Stage #2 race, with riders from across the Baltic States competing for the fastest times in 8 rider groups and on three different tracks. One of these tracks will be completely new!  Additionally, the fastest Latvian riders will compete in the national downhill championships across four categories: Women, Men, Junior, and Master. They will race for medals  and the honor of wearing the national flag jerseys. Just don’t forget to purchase your LRF license

 After a long time period, the Dual Slalom race returns with two categories: under 18 and over 18. For those who like to jump far, we have it covered for you and will make huck to flat competition. Also, our trick jump will be freshly shaped for the best whip-off contest and the best tricks competition. We’ll also have a special e-bike uphill sprint open to everyone, including spectators. Just show up, and we’ll provide the bikes! For those who like to get wet, our water jump and crazy slip ‘n’ slide will be open for fun. If that’s not enough, participate in our bike-throwing contest or see who can run down the hill the fastest to grab a beer. 

 Registration for DH event and Dual Slalom race can be found here: https://shorturl.at/P4QIO But you will also be able to register at the event in our race office. Registration fee for both days and for all action is 50eur. But if you only want to participate in Saturday’s DH track practice – 30eur.

 There will be plenty of space for cars in the parking lot, a designated place for those camper-vans who need electricity (we got you covered), we will have special camping area with a BBQ spot, 2 ponds for swimming and other water activities, bike wash, bike storage and don’t forget to reach the highest point of Latvia – Gaiziņkalns.
