Čiker MTB Marathon 2015
The fourth "Čiker MTB marathon" involved a track which was different from the one in the previous marathons, as on the list of mountains were added Goč and Golija which were included for the first time. This contributed to the diversity and attractiveness of the paths we rode on.The number of participants grew largeras 110 took part in this marathon, and the cities and places we covered from Kraljevo were: Rudno, Sjenica, Nova Varoš, Prijepolje, Pljevlja, žabljak and Plužine. And we rode over: Goč, Golija, Zlatar, Jabuka, Ljubišnja, Durmitor and mountain Piva.
The constant increase of participant number required a certain reorganisation, as the logistics which was enough on the previous marathons now had to be improved quantity-wise, as well as in the sense of quality, in which it succeeded.
The satisfaction of participants who return to the marathon each year is the guideline for the new ones who have an insight into how it looks like, because there is a big number of those whose experience is highly positive.
One falls in love, just like that, starting to look at everything through rose-tinted glasses. You know it is not going to last forever, that it has to be cherished, taken care of, constantly inspiring, so as to find the purest beauties and brightest drops of life over and over again. Čiker marathon 2015, we arrive in greater numbers, laughter spreads across the vast expanses of Goč, Studena mountain, Golija, Zlatar, Jadovnik, there is no end to this pleasure. The force of the massive Durmitor is felt in each pedal turn, hearts are quieting down, breathing almost ceases while the rocks interspersed with time, embossed in our past and our future, are passing by. The view is crystal clear, the rose tint from the begining of the story has disappeared, love has been established, we enforced it through giving strength to ourselves and friendships we cherish. The created strength became a part of us.
Čiker has left a forceful mark, and we follow it.
