2019 DE PFALZ

Regional BIG Meeting in Wilgartswiesen / Pfalz  11.-13.10.2019
 

BIGCYCLING had a very successful meeting in the beautiful Pfälzer Wald on October 11-13, with 15 participants from different countries:

Irene Schneider, Christiaan Weytmans, Anja von Heydebreck, Claudia Sommer-Brenner, Karl Brenner, Heiko Linnert, Christophe Badonnel, Helmuth Dekkers, Christian Hauenstein, Kevin Speed, Dirk Buschmann, Wim van Els, Hans-Peter Hefner, Ard Oostra and Dirk Alt. 

With two beautiful round trips prepared by our local member Hans-Peter Hefner, we covered six NATaCHA climbs including the BIG Trifels, where some of us had already met in 2010 for the 25th anniversary of Challenge BIG. And we witnessed the first finisher of the German NATaCHA, Heiko Linnert, who completed this challenge of 375 climbs at the top of Große Kalmit.
