MOGAST MANIFESTO
We like to think about Mogast as a Village whose inhabitants roam in space and time but fond of the idea to gather together once a year. An open village happy to distribute hugs, as round as a pedal stroke as intense as the smell of Pizzoccheri, to old friends and ready to greet newcomers. This year the “village” will gather on a day in June, as the marmots will be out their holes still sipping their morning cofee and as the mountains still wears their post winter white hats. And everything will start with a toast, how else?
As you might have noticed we are not really into standstill. And not in routine. And above all, as the route of Mogast fiercely demonstrates, not into flatness.If in the past edition we added some pepper to the recipe, in 2024 we are willing to throw again in some stones and sand in to the Mogast cake. Just to make it more crunchy. What does it mean? That Mogast will double up: alongside the classic brutal but -somehow- silky road route we scouted an alternative gravel friendly route. It’s up to you to pick up the slice of the cake you might find more suitable to your chainring teeth. But notice, while the classic route will be as usual dotted with food stops, the gravel one will be partially unsupported.
PEDALARE
We will be mostly hanging around and starting the ride at Casa Natura, a House runned by the Italian environment friendly association Legambiente. During these years Mogast has been a pedalling party, made from friends for friends. Small and juicy. As we always intended it, and as it will always be.
And of course, we are also willing to pedal! So have a look at the route section.
In order to comply with the italian laws all the participants must provide a mandatory medical certification for competitive cycling (UCI card owner excluded). Below you can download the form for non-italian residents that must be used and the giudlines issued by FCI for italian residents. Please also carefully read the participation rules.
MANGIARE
Big challenges deserve big rewards. So we are planning to reward ourself with local food. If you are curious, here are some hints for you: pizzoccheri, polenta taragna, ribollita and nebbiolo. As usual The Mogast staff & friends will cook some culinary delights to keep your muscles running. For the whole three day treats (see program below) we calculate a cost of 80€ per head, daily insurance included. If you plan to come, all you need to do is to push to button below
DORMIRE
Around Casanatura there’s also a green area where you can place your tent or park your van. Hygienic services and showers will be available. The cost for a 3-days camping spot is 10€. Please note! the number of places is limited. If you don’t find the option for camping spot booking during the subsription process, it means that all the places are already booked.
