Classique du Fer - Jernbaneklassikeren

Classique du Fer - Jernbaneklassikeren is a gravel cycling race held in early March, based in Brædstrup, Denmark. Participants select between a 180 km route and a 110 km route, positioning it within the challenging winter-gravel category rather than a relaxed coffee ride. It is listed on Danish cycling calendars as part of Gravel B and has connections to Gravel Cuppen, New Years GRVL Resolution, and the Campione Pinse Cup series. The race embraces rough-season conditions; previous editions have involved cold, wind, mud, frozen extremities, and fatigue. The Polkadot Cycling group characterizes participants as individuals who continue to compete and exert effort even when the weather is unfavorable. This imbues the event with a distinctly Danish gravel character: pragmatic, muddy, somewhat resolute, and concluded with substantial amounts of coffee afterward, provided the gear functions correctly.
