European Peace Ride

The International Peace Ride was the most highly regarded amateur cycling event in the East, was often compared to the famous Tour de France, and was last held in 2006. The EUROPEAN PEACE RIDE (EPR), revived the idea of a trans-national cycling tour in 2021. But the EPR is more than just a multi-day bike race. Ambitious amateur cyclists spend months preparing for the gruelling circuit through several coun- tries (and over a number of mountains!). Open to people of all genders, religions, origins, and disabilities, EPR culture is all about togetherness, so it is much more of a social event. Cheering crowds line the roads and wait at the finish line, cre- ating spine-tingling moments worthy of the Tour de France itself. The precise route for 2025 will be announced in the spring.
