VELO HORA: Hai să-ntindem hora mare!

VeloHora 2020 organizers invite everyone to join an unusual race! 

Despite the fact that part of the restrictions associated with COVID-19 has been lifted, the largest cycling event of 2020 — VeloHora — unfortunately, cannot be held as usual and is postponed until further notice. However, on May 30, the organizers offer cycling enthusiasts the opportunity to participate in an event, which can rightly be considered the first large-scale spring training session before VeloHora 2020.

The public sports organization Sporter invites everyone who is fond of long bike rides to take a tour along the route of the future Velohora 2020. The bike ride is due on Saturday, 30 May, on the following route:

Great National Assembly Square - Stefan cel Mare Bd. - Viaduct - Dacia Bd. - Decebal Bd. – Gagarin Bd. – Albisoara St. - G. Vieru Bd. – Calea Orheiului St. – Petricani St. - M. Viteazul St. - Stefan cel Mare Bd. - Great National Assembly Square.

The organizers emphasize that it is not necessary to start and finish in the central square: “The arch in the Great National Assembly Square is just a reference place, where you and your friends can take memory pictures to post on social networks. You can go on the route at any time of the day, in any place convenient for you, but, nevertheless, it is important to ride under the arch in the center of the capital. In addition, participants in this bike ride will be able to warm up after quarantine and take a tour of the streets where VeloHora will take place. And even though now we cannot get together with all the cyclists in the country and ride through the city in a big noisy crowd, we believe that very soon the day will come when VeloHora will cross the streets of Chisinau again!”

The organizers urge all metropolitan motorists to be more careful on the roads on that day. It would be best to get off your cars, get on the bike and take part in the bike ride.

Note! We draw the participants' attention to the fact that, on this day, the traffic in the city will not be closed! Therefore, it is important to follow the traffic rules and take care of your own safety! The organizers remind that the participants must wear a helmet and, a very important thing in today's conditions, to observe the recommended distance and not to form groups of more than 3 people.
