After the registration and the prologue, the ride starts at an unknown location on a Saturday afternoon and ends after max. 24 hours on Sunday afternoon.
At the start and at every checkpoint you will get a road book which will guide you to the next checkpoint.
The required road book from one check point to the other you will only receiveonce you found the next checkpoint as described in the road book.
The swiss500miles can be driven solo or in individual arranged groups.
A Swiss roadmap may come handy!
