16. Ostsee-Rad-Klassik 2026

The Ostsee-Rad-Klassik is a 200 km road-bike ride in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, starting and finishing at Parkplatz Grönfingers in Rostock. Riders depart at 8:00 AM and are expected back by 5:00 PM, with the group paced around 26 km/h. It is conducted as a closed peloton on a secured route, making the day more akin to a long controlled group ride than an open-road race where participants must manage traffic independently. The route has an undulating profile and is intended for adults fit enough for a full day on the bike. Support is included: there are three food stops, offering breakfast, midday pasta prepared by a pasta maker, and coffee. At the finish, riders receive barbecue and drinks. This is the 16th Ostsee-Rad-Klassik, and the event appears to be a local endurance cycling day focused on group discipline, steady pacing, and sufficient food for 200 km.
