It’s already a tradition. Every five years, we organize a big international recumbent rally in Uherský Brod and its surroundings to celebrate 5, 10, 15, and more years of AZUB. In 2020, this celebration was somewhat disrupted by COVID, which prevented our friends from overseas from coming, as well as the Hungarian recumbent riders, whose borders were closed a few days before the meeting. So, in 2025, we look forward to seeing you all. And it is going to be huge!
We know it is kind of early now, but some of you have already asked, so here is the info we currently have available.
SAVE THE DATE!
September 4 to 7, 2025
We usually meet on Wednesday evening, and the next day, we go on some epic ride whose length can be adjusted according to your possibilities. On Friday, we organize a shorter ride around Uherský Brod and then some funny common activities on the sports field, such as a race in a slow ride on two-wheel recumbents called a snail race or other activities also for trikes. On Saturday, we will go for a longer ride through the beauty of our surrounding countryside again. And, of course, you can also set off on Sunday.
The rides follow low-traffic roads or cycle trails without any traffic. We always have an option for velomobiles or pure road bikes if needed. We have online maps and GPX files for every day.
Every day in the evening, there is an entertainment program, and we also organize one Light and Music Night Ride to the center of Uherský Brod, which not only you but also the spectators will enjoy. We also always had some wine tasting, folklore music, a visit to the AZUB facility, and much more!
Accommodation is provided in a hotel and a campsite in the village of Nivnice near AZUB. We are also making plans for wheelchair-accessible accommodation.
You don’t have to ride AZUB!
You don’t have to ride a recumbent!
You don’t have to come for all the days!
Because we understand that coming only for four days is not easy, especially for people from overseas, our marketing guru and former tour guide, Honza Galla, prepares every time also a pre-meeting tour. More about it below the video from 2020.
To have an idea of how many of you, foreign AZUB fans, would like to come to the rally or also the pre-meeting tour, please let us know in advance that you like our plans.
PRE-MEETING TOUR
from 30 August 2025
The pre-meeting tour will most likely start in the Austrian capital, Vienna, on Saturday, 08/30/2025. We will meet each other that day and have an evening walk through the city center. On Sunday, we will cycle through this old European city from which history gushes out at every corner. There are excellent bike paths everywhere, and Honza has known the city very well from his time as a tour guide. We will see some incredible sights and end up in some accommodation east of Vienna. We will head to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, the next day and visit the city center. We will then follow the Morava River and the border between Slovakia and Austria to the north. After crossing into the Czech Republic, we will visit the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Lednice, which will be sometime on Tuesday/Wednesday, and we will continue to cycle to Uhersky Brod so that we are there for the meeting starting on Thursday.
– We will have a support car; you won’t have to cycle with us all day.
– Average daily mileage will be about 70 to 80 km / 45 to 50 miles.
We will ride mostly on bike paths or very quiet roads. We will enjoy two big cities, but mostly the countryside, meadows, forests, and small local pubs where a beer can cost as little as 1.5 USD. We will ride in a group(s), and you don’t need to worry about navigation.
We won’t charge anything for organizing the tour or the rally itself. It is our “thank you” to all our customers and supporters. Hotel accommodations will vary a bit depending on the size of the group. Probably around 70 USD per person per night incl. breakfast. In total, something like 600 USD for lodging. Lunch and dinner, plus some beer or wine on the way would be about 30 to 60 USD per day per person.
In total, without the airline tickets, you should be able to get away with about $700 to $1200 per person, depending on how much you eat, drink and enjoy the life.
Again, please. If you are at least minimally interested in the pre-meeting tour and rally, please fill out our Google form.
