With a length of almost 150 kilometres, it does not lead to Schuld, but via Euskirchen to Bad Münstereifel. Routingįor our Komoot Classics Edition of the Cologne Schuld Frechen race, we took our cue from the former amateur B/C class course. But we don’t want to reminisce too long here, we just want to remember this event and maybe get one or the other to relive the track. To have such a long distance completely closed and only for oneself is an extraordinary experience for every athlete – real professional feeling. It was also one of the last real road races for amateurs. The race was not only an event steeped in tradition. The fact that this race has not taken place for almost 10 years is a real loss for us.
The route from Cologne-Schuld-Frechen leads through the middle of Gymnich From there the route led to Schuld in the Ahr valley and back again. The start and finish were traditionally in Cologne city centre before both were moved to Frechen in 1969. From 1952 until the last edition in 2012, the race was continuously organized by the club RC Adler Köln. The race historyįirst organized in 1920 by the RC Delia 09, the race was first held under the title Köln-Münstereifel-Köln and later Köln-Euskirchen-Köln. The classic event at the end of March, which often coincided with the Italian classic, was probably the trigger. Cologne blame Frechen – the second part of our Komoot Classics is a real German classic and probably not quite as well known as the cycling monuments Milan SanRemo, nevertheless the route is just as big a highlight from our point of view.Ĭologne-Schuld-Frechen, was known for years as the German Milan SanRemo and was a firm part of the spring programme for amateurs and professionals.
