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.
