Welcome to the ninth season of Beanie Winter Rides. Depending on the weather, 50 to 75 km of rustic farm roads and district roads in the Lower Rhine, little car contact, flat to the horizon. Relaxed atmosphere in the 25 to 26 size. For racing bikes and gravel bikes and good people, Dropbar only!

IMPORTANT: In the spirit of charity, we ask for mudguards when the weather permits.

Since last year we have taken the liberty of only offering tickets with a donation to World Bicycle Relief, the minimum amount being €1. We hope that at the end of the season we will top our result from last year, when we were able to hand over the value of ten bikes to the WBR, which will have a positive impact on the living conditions of ten families.
The tickets will soon be available here: https://www.schickemuetze.de/muetzenausfahrten/

Something else about the title: eleven years ago we started organizing tours for racing bike classics under the title Klassikerausfahrt, i.e. something like a monthly mini-Eroica in Düsseldorf, including gravel sections. Since the open and relaxed nature of our trips also appealed to people who were traveling with modern equipment, this led to some discussions within the group at some point - which bike is allowed to ride, why modern equipment is allowed, etc.

For us as organizers, it was always more important who we were riding with than focusing on the frame material and the year of manufacture, which is why two years before the start of the cap we launched the Sunday winter ride under the name “Winter Slut Parade” to get away from it all of any rules to establish an exit that is not only open to classic car lovers but to everyone.
Since the name has led to increasing discussions in recent years and cycling itself is more important to us than justifying our humor, we have decided that WSP will now stand for “Winterschmuddelparade”. After all, everyone should feel invited. Otherwise, hopefully everything stays as beautiful as it always was.

So whatever you ride: as long as it has a racing bar and is technically fit, we look forward to seeing you, whether new or old, whether steel, carbon, aluminum or titanium.
Let's see what surprises the weather has in store for us, but the fun won't be neglected. If necessary, with icicles on your glasses.

See you Sunday at 11am.

Your hat crew

The women's racing bike movement continues - even in the winter months.

Every 2nd Saturday morning - sometimes as a gravel ride, sometimes as a racing bike ride (you are always well equipped with a gravel bike, usually it is also possible with a racing bike). And if the weather is really bad, we might even skip it altogether.

In any case, we will have a good time together, because this is the linchpin of our trips. We put editing and personal records aside. The focus here is on the group. This includes group rules, mutual consideration and support.

Depending on the weather conditions, lights and mudguards on the bikes really make sense, because not everything thrown up from the paths tastes good to those behind.

• Meeting point 11:00 a.m. in the SCHICKE MÜTZE
• Route length approx. 50 km, mostly flat.
• Moderate speed, i.e. at the end an average of 22-25 km/h on the speedometer.
• Drop handlebars required (no MTB, no triathlon attachments, no fixies)

Participation only after prior registration.

The length of the route is adjusted to the weather conditions. If the weather forecast is very negative, it is possible that an appointment will be canceled or postponed at short notice.
