The Classic Road Teams
The classic road teams are at the heart of our DNA. Here, you embark on the full journey with your local team. You train closely together all year, ultimately cycling the unforgettable eight days through Europe to Paris.
Join Team Rynkeby
Cycling, camaraderie, and a noble cause. These are the three pillars of Team Rynkeby that make the project truly exceptional.
Cycling and Training Community
You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist or in peak condition to apply. The most important thing is that you are motivated to train and become part of the community that will take the team all the way to Paris.
You will join a team of experienced riders and participants who may be getting on a road bike for the first time. Throughout the season, you will receive a training plan, and the team will organize group training sessions in the spring, allowing you to log miles alongside your teammates.
Team Rynkeby is a committed training community. This means you won’t be alone in your preparations, but it also means that the team counts on you. By following the plan, showing up for training, and actively participating in the community, you will be well-prepared for the journey.
Solidarity, community, and friends for life
In Team Rynkeby, you become part of a team made up of people of different ages, backgrounds, and motivations for joining. Some ride for the cycling, some for the camaraderie, some for the cause, and many find along the way that all these elements are closely connected.
You will grow close through a season with Team Rynkeby. If you are open, curious, and eager to meet new people, Team Rynkeby can provide friendships that extend far beyond the journey to Paris.
Find your way to Paris
The journey to Paris takes different paths. We have five different team types and our indispensable service team, who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes. Although the settings and routes vary, the mission is the same for all.
Below, you can click on each team type to learn more about the specific teams.
The Alpine Mountains
The Alpine climbs are for those seeking an extra athletic or geographical challenge. Here, the route features legendary peaks and terrains that demand something extraordinary from both physical endurance and teamwork.
100 Kilometer Teams
The 100-kilometer teams are for those who wish to be part of the social community and fundraising efforts, where the daily stages on the journey to Paris are adapted to a maximum of 100 kilometers per day.
Team Rynkeby Europe
Team Rynkeby Europe is for those who want to be part of a genuine international community that transcends borders. On our team, nationalities blend together into a shared European project, where the language is English, but the heart and goal remain the same.
Team Rynkeby Gravel
Team Rynkeby Gravel is for the adventurers who thrive away from the paved roads. Here, smooth asphalt is replaced by forest paths, gravel trails, and the elements of nature. It’s a more intense route through challenging terrain.
Service Team
While the riders are on the road, the service team takes care of everything that keeps the journey running smoothly. They manage logistics, fix minor issues, replenish supplies, and are ready with encouraging hugs when energy runs low.
