Route
The Ruta Via de la Plata-Non Stop/Eurovelo 1 (RVP-Non Stop/Eurovelo 1) is a mountain bike sporting event in the purest randonneur style between Gijón and Carmona (Seville) in which it is possible to enter individually or as a team (and which can be done fully or in relays). RVP-Non Stop/Eurovelo 1 will be held to coincide with the full moon in June.
The event will begin at 9.00 am onWednesday June 3, 2020 in Gijón and will finish in Carmona (Seville) on Sunday June 7 at 1.00 pm, with a maximum duration of 100 hours to complete the route (average speed of 10 kph).
The event will include eight check points where the participants must have their route card stamped (Pola de Gordón, La Bañeza, Zamora, Guijuelo, Plasencia, Casar de Cáceres, Calamonte and Zafra). Teams opting to participate in the relay categories must carry out the relays at those points. The organisation will also establish all the secret check points deemed necessary. These will be perfectly signposted on the route and the participants must have their route card stamped at those points too, since they aim to avoid the participants going off-route.
Each participant will be regarded as on a “personal trip”, accepting and obeying all the legal regulations as regards traffic and the environment and will be uniquely responsible for his or her acts.
The route will not be marked. Only the secret control points will be signposted sufficiently in advance to avoid any possible doubts about them. The organisation will provide the participants with a GPS track so that they can follow the route.
The route is open to traffic in some sections along roads. The participants must follow the indications of traffic authorities, respect the highway code and cycle with precaution. It is compulsory to follow the route and controls of passage fixed by the organisation.
The maximum time in which to complete the route will be 100 hours.
The director of the event may decide that a section of the route has become impassable and is blocked. The route may then be diverted along an alternative section chosen by the organisation.
