Jā … droši vien ka super pasākums būtu, labprāt piedalītos :) , bet manuprāt … vidusmēra Latvijas riteņbraucējam šis pasākums ir bišķu par dārgu ;)
Gan dalības maksas, gan arī loģistikas problēmas …
nu bet ja ir kādi interesenti kas pa šo domā, tad dodiet ziņu, varbūt varētu arī kautko kopā sakombinēt :)
