One of Germany's largest amateur road races, held every 3 October from Münster's city centre through the Münsterland to a finish at Münster Castle, with 65, 95 and 125 km courses.
What this race demands
The 95 km ride demands sustained road-cycling endurance and the ability to pace effort over several hours. With elevation gain unstated, the climbing demand cannot be assessed from the available facts.
Endurance
Riding 95 km requires maintaining effort over a substantial distance, rather than relying only on short bursts of power.
Pacing
The distance calls for managing effort so it can be sustained through the ride; the stated facts do not establish how the course distributes its demands.
Climbing uncertainty
Elevation gain is not stated, so no specific climbing load can be inferred.
If your ride is likely to exceed 2.5 hours, aim for about 60–90 g of carbohydrate per hour to support sustained effort.
