Be prepared for ~80km of asphalt and fast-rolling gravel roads, a coffee stop and some swimming action. Wide(ish) tyres and a helmet recommended.

DINNER

Time: 18-21
Location: TiB HQ
For ECMC, the Fläming Kitchen will be cooking with us for the championship. They’re a vegetarian/vegan action kitchen, focused on using cooking to support political and alternative projects whilst saving vegetables. They work with fresh, ecological produce that is often deemed “wonky”, “too short, too thick, too long, too big” and doesn’t make it into the supermarket shelves. Every vegetable is sexy!
They’re a volunteer-led kitchen, and we’d like to invite you to lend a hand cooking up a storm.

PEDAL CINEMA
PEDAL CINEMA
Time: 21-23
Location: TiB HQ
This Kino (German for cinema) is powered by bikes. Lent to us by the folks at Freilauf, the cinema runs with a series of bikes hooked up to it: once the pedals are turning fast enough, the screen and sound come to life. We’ll need some leg power here. Consider it training.
Please wrap up warm and bring something comfy to sit on, as this event is outdoors.
The Film:
Souleymane's Story (2024). A Paris food delivery cyclist and asylum seeker named Souleymane has two days to prepare his story for a make-or-break interview to secure legal residency.
Souleyman left Guinea and came to France to apply for asylum. Without papers or money, he tries to get by as a bicycle courier for a food delivery service, working under awful conditions. Meanwhile, his appointment at the immigration office is getting closer and closer. Abou Sangare won the Best Actor awards at Cannes and the European Film Awards for his portrayal of Souleyman.
Runtime 1 hour 34 minutes.
