There are several group tours:
Tour 1:
(10km)
Led by: Xenia Winckel-Catacutan
Meeting time: 10:30am
Leaving: 11:00am
This course avoids riding busy roads and is thous targeted towards the
children who may want to join. All roads are asphalted and almost all
are rural. At one point kids will have to cross a busy road. Also as
there are some climbs, it is recommended that kid have at least 3
gears, if not they may have to walk some sections.
Tour 2:
(20 km)
Led by: Vinzenzo Sportelli
Meeting time: 10:00am
Leaving: 10:30am
Vince
will follow JP's 40 km ride along the Piste cyclable des Trois Cantons
(PC6) up to the far side of Parc “Brill” in Schifflange and then turn
around. This ensures that the ride follows asphalted roads and cycle
tracks. To join track PC6 you will have to cross over the railway
track. After exiting at Kayl you will have to shortly ride the main
road to the motorway bridge to join the bicycle-track again.
You will be following the A13 motorway on the bicycle-track which passes under the motorway several times.
The last part is the ride along the “Brill” nature reserve before turning around at km 10 and returning back.
Tour 3:
(40 km)
Led by Jean-Paul Schmitz
Meeting time: 10:00am
Leaving: 10:30am
JP will guide you on the longer ride. The triangular loop is composed of three bicycle tracks:
Piste cyclable des Trois Cantons (PC6)
Piste cyclable du Faubourg Minier (PC9)
Piste cyclable François Faber (PC10)
The option on passing via Mondercange (PC6) and adding a few kilometers
will depend on the situation of the landslide and the form of the
riders.
Tour 4:
(more than 60 km Mountain Bike)
Led by: Edward Cardew
Meeting time: 8:30am
Leaving: 9:00am sharp, expect >7 hour ride!
This challenging Mountain Bike round trip starts and ends in Kayl, a 5
km ride away. Then the circuit itself is at least 50 km, includes
technical challenges and there are many add-ons possible depending on
the group's form.
Expect fantastic scenery! To get an idea check, it will be similar to the link below with maybe a few extras!
