EVENT DESCRIPTION
Do you like to challenge yourself? Do you enjoy longer and harder races? Do you endure the pain? Are you a sufferer? If you can answer yes to any or all of these questions, then we have a race series just for you!
Danish Bike Riders presents the 8th edition of the DBR SufferDay League. A series comprised of 10 long and really hard races, made to test both your fitness, endurance and your mental well-being on the bike and trainer. Can you endure the suffering and master yourself to come out on top?!
The DBR SufferDay League VIII will run for ten weeks from Saturday January 28th. There will be both flat, hilly and moun- tain stages. All the stages will be harder than average and will take in the region of two and a half to three hours for the fast- est to reach the finish line.
There will be four categories – A, B, C and D (Category Enforcement apply – see below). The races will be of equal length for all categories. There is no mercy, just suffering.
