UŁAN - 500km po Mazurach i Pomorzu. Ale fajne zawody!

My report from the UŁAN race, which started and finished in Grudziądz. A very picturesque route and fantastic logistics – I slept and parked right at the start and race office. The entry fee and hotel itself were very cheap. A truly great race! I finished the race in 5th place, tied with a friend from the Gravel Pasja YouTube channel. The ride took 25 hours and 47 minutes, covering a distance of 496 km. https://ulan600.pl/   / marianciunio     / strava     / marian.lewenda   Bike: Kross Esker 7.0 2025 1x12 Wheels: Elitewheels SLR Gravel 38mm ratchet ceramic (aliexpress) Tires: Rear: Continental Terra Hardpack 50mm + STANS (1.5 bar); Front: Continental Terra Hardpack 50mm + STANS (1.4 bar); Saddle: Specialized Phenom Comp 143 Lemonade: Decathlon VAN RYSEL Triathlon Navigation: Garmin Edge 1040 Front light: Lumintop B01 (aliexpress) 21700 battery for the flashlight: VariCore 5000mAh (aliexpress) https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/100500...
