Herbst RTF

Herbst RTF is a German autumn RTF cycling series. The routes are prepared for riders who navigate by GPS. Organizers provide downloadable course files, including a direct GPX download from the homepage, allowing participants to load the routes onto their devices before riding. The ride uses staffed control points instead of a closed-road race format. Rommerskirchen is open from 8:30 to 13:30, Oppendorf from 11:30 to 15:30, and Kelzenberg from 11:00 to 17:00. Longer brevet riders have a turnaround point at Siersdorf, staffed from 7:00 to 17:00. The motto is “Kette rechts!”, literally “Chain to the right!”, a cyclist’s way of saying it is time to push a big gear and ride hard.
