ROUTES
Ride harder. Statistics is a scientific discipline that studies how to collect, summarize, and present conclusions from data. The elevation profile of a trail attempts to partially illustrate the difficulty of the trail by the ratio of the distance traveled and the sum of the heights climbed. However, that is just one factor. This relentless statistics shows that the average elevation profile of the C2C trails is constantly increasing from year to year. Therefore, this year’s edition offers an even more attractive and challenging profile of both trails with more terrain oscillations. To achieve this, the trails were traced along the upper hilly, western part of Međimurje. However, to get the longer trail, it was necessary to stretch it out in the plain. Therefore, the shorter trail has a “stronger” average elevation profile than the longer one.
