history

The idea for the Velo Challenge came from the initiator of the Hanover Night , Reinhard Kramer , and Detlef Rehbock, managing director of Soulstyle GmbH and today the organizer of the race.

Velo Challenge 2010

The first Velo Challenge took place on June 26th and 27th, 2010. The weekend began on Saturday with a cycling fair, an “Action Bike Show” and a stage program from Hit-Radio Antenne . Around 2,000 participants had registered for the race on the 60 km or 110 km long routes on Sunday.

Velo Challenge 2011

In June 2011, around 2,700 participants started at Rudolf-von-Bennigsen-Ufer on the Maschsee . The fastest cyclist on the 60 km long route that led from Hanover via Pattensen , Bennigsen and Bredenbeck am Deister and back was Daniel Knyss with one hour, 37 minutes and 15 seconds.

The 110 km long route led over the Nienstedter Pass on the Deister to Bad Münder . The winner was the Dutchman Dann van den Berg with three hours, two minutes and seven seconds.

In 2011, however, only ten children took part in a round course for schoolchildren around the Maschpark , although Detlef Rohbock , the organizer of the race, had previously written to all Hanover schools and invited them to participate. Eight participating students came from the Etelsen cycling club near Verden .
