The MKSZ is a European federation member of the International Cycling Union (UCI, Union Cycliste Internationale) and is automatically a member of the European Cycling Union. The ECU forms a liaison between UCI and the 50 EU national federations. Come and ride with us!

The Organiser is the local Mátra Biker Sport Club (MBSC) non‑profit organisation. As a friendly club, from fans and riders to cycling enthusiasts and professionals, MBSC is suitable for all levels and actively encourages all to get involved. This weekend lets you climb our iconic mountain and pass some of the most spectacular views along the way. This event is perfect for a weekend away with your family and a great way to explore the countryside and Hungary's highest peak at 3,327 feet (1014m).
