The event, or better said the tour, will be held on the 14 September. It is intended for bicycle riders that want to enjoy while riding. The tour “Cultural Heritage through the Prilep Field” is an easy tour - a Slow Bicycle Ride. It does not have a competitive character. In fact it has sightseeing, promotional and educational character, where things will be seen and learned about the Prilep Field and the cultural heritage in it.

 The event will start at 9 h in the morning, and it will end at 19 h, where the faster bicycle riders are expected to finish at 17 h already.

Difficulty
 On the tour there will be possibility to choose between two groups. One group will be for experienced bicycle riders and the other for beginner bicycle riders. The experienced bicycle riders will have 88 km of roads to pass, which will be mostly asphalt, but also a good deal of dirt roads suitable for mountain bikes or trekking/hybrid bikes. For the beginners there will be 38 km of road and all on asphalt, appropriate even for city bikes. In both cases the ride is through fairly flat terrain, with mild uphills, except the access to the monasteries where it is fairly steep and not recommended for the beginners.
