Traditional closing ceremony at Rog Picnic in the club premises below Šmarna Gora

Cyclists appreciate hard work and passion for cycling, so it is not surprising that every year they traditionally gather at the Rog Picnic to conclude a successful cycling season together. This year was no different, as cyclists once again gathered to enjoy good food, refreshing drinks, and plenty of laughter and fun. The 2023 season was exceptional, and the conclusion at Rogovo was the perfect way to thank their colleagues and recognize the best for their achievements.

Every year, the Rogov Picnic is an opportunity for the cycling community to relax and socialize. This year's event was particularly special, as a large number of people gathered to celebrate the exceptional 2023 season.

Although all the cyclists were true heroes, one sporting gesture stood out in particular. Jure Jovanovič from Pogi Team helped his teammate Miha Otoničar get up after he fell during the sprint and rode with him to the finish line. Instead of sprinting alone, Jure selflessly helped Miha. This move was rewarded with loud applause and the award for the move of the day.

The top three finishers in the Pogi Cup received special prizes, including a portable speaker in a white bag from TDF, symbolizing the white jersey for young riders won by Tadej Pogačar, and a Berk Composites seat.
