Update, courage and your help on the kids-tour

Preparations for the 28th International kids-tour are in full swing. Your financial help is very welcome. Notes on the regulations. Thanks for the many encouragement

Financial support

Due to the imponderables, we had to do without the prepared crowd-funding this year. The previous donors and small sponsors were therefore not contacted either. Unlike in previous years, there is also no public funding from the Landessportbund Berlin. Sad but true, this also prompted the Berlin Cycling Federation | Berliner Radsportverband. At the moment, Wheel Divas e.V. and its sponsors, among others Zweirad- Center Stadler Berlin as well as the Päske family and I, are running the kids-tour completely on our own. Despite all our efforts, there is still a shortfall. In short - if you want to support us not only morally in these turbulent times, you can make a financial contribution and donate to the kids-tour. This can easily be done via Paypal. Recipient: sina.paeske@kids-tour-berlin.de Subject: kids-tour 2022.

Preparations and this and that

7 days before the start of the 28th international kids-tour, the organisation team gives everything once again. It is checked, changed, modified and organised.

As always in life: when you think there are 3 possibilities, there is a fourth or fifth: our race doctor is now in hospital himself. We wish him a speedy recovery! In addition, the Berlin Cycling Federation has "forgotten" our commissioners.

We also solve this challenge for the kids. Who has suggestions for

• commissaire

• a doctor

please send them to me.

The cups, ribbons and jerseys from Redvil Sport, which are so important for the kids, are on their way to the organising team. Many thanks to all our partners, suppliers, service providers and manufacturers. Just like the teams, they are at the ready. A lot had to be organised and procured at short notice. Among other things, the ordered prizes and awards had to be produced within a week.

In the last few days, I had many appointments on site. Our routes in Lehnitz, Willmersdorf and the Willmersdorf industrial estate have been inspected and discussed with the police. Everyone is very satisfied with the work of the organising team.

Announcement per race and starting lists

Due to the requests, here is an overview based on the sporting regulations:

1. In the U13 races, mixed teams of female and male riders are allowed.

2. In the U15 there are separate races for male and female with separate teams.

Cups, ribbons, honours - everything for young cyclists

Starter lists and teams are now filling up with concrete names. If you still want to participate, please send your entry directly to me. The participant lists will be sent directly to our timekeeper Herzog-Sport. So not only are the start and result lists quickly online, for the first time we are also offering live timing of the kids.

Encouragement and courage

Thank you very much for all the mail, comments and phone calls. It makes us proud to have done the right thing. It gives us courage to continue despite all the adversities.
