Breathe a sigh of relief. After months, the kids-tour, a unique cycling event worldwide, receives regulatory approval. The stage ride is now officially announced. We look forward to further registration. We are on schedule, registrations are going well!! Tender and procedure A few hours ago, the official organ rad-net of the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer (German Cyclists' Federation) released the kids-tour. The kids-tour is now officially announced, may and will take place. Every German cycling sporting event always has to be approved by the local cycling federation and then subsequently by the federal federation. So Berlin's cycling federation now releases the kids-tour in the database, the German Cyclists' Federation | Bund Deutscher Radfahrer BDR publishes this. As sports director I invite you to the Anniversary Tour 24.08.- 27.08.23 . 5 stages, four days of maximum cycling for the small pros. Thanks to the support of astendo | eventmanager Registration status I am satisfied with the current registration status. Entries are coming in earlier, new nations are now participating, the kids-tour is becoming more international.Entries are coming in earlier, there are new nations, the kids-tour is becoming more international. History The 30 years of kids-tour are outstanding. A small drop of bitterness is the year 2022. Because only the Frankfurt/Main court opened the way for the kids-tour. I already applied for the 2023 permit at the end of 2022. The BRV board left the application unanswered for more than 5 months. The good news is that the permit has now been granted. This approval is by no means a matter of course. It was preceded by an unbelievable amount of correspondence from Wheel Divas e.V., setting of deadlines, reminders and enquiries to the Berlin Cycling association BRV. Whatever, in the end it's the result that counts. Wheel Divas are the organisers of kids-tour. Brands of the Berlin cycling club Wheel Divas e.V.

The kids-tour is unique worldwide. Top riders from Serbia will take part for the first time. Great Britain will also participate, as well the Netherlands, Belgium and German teams. The oldest active cycling race in Berlin is becoming more colourful, more diverse and more international - a highlight in Berlin and Europe. Less than four weeks ago, digital registration opened. There has never been this response at this early stage. For me, it is the best proof that we are all doing the right thing, that the kids-tour is on the right track. And right, the whole team sees a lot of room for improvement! With Serbia we have a newcomer. That's great! Three kingdoms are at the start. The United Kingdom of Great Britain is back at the start after 2018. The kingdoms of Belgium and the Netherlands have secured starting places. And the first German team is also visiting Berlin. Therefore, I draw a very positive first balance. The tasks grow with the demands. Our organising team is focusing on the 30th anniversary. An anniversary that brings news without forgetting the roots. With Odin Reinhardt, the organising team has gained reinforcements, an excellent event manager. That is a great relief for me. I'm concentrating more on the sporting part again. In addition, my boys from the Junior National League team need me. Our tasks are now more broadly distributed and responsible. We are getting better! There is a regular meeting on Tuesdays. The kids-tour is becoming more professional. And this is entirely in the spirit of Berlin as a sports metropolis. Berlin can also offer top international sport in the youth sector, including cycling. After years of neglect, I am very happy about this development. As Sports Director, I invite you to the Anniversary Tour 24.08.- 27.08.23 . 5 stages, four days of maximum cycling for the small pros. Registration is done digitally thanks to the support of astendo | eventmanager The kids-tour is registered with the Federation of German Cyclists BDR and Berlin Cycling Federation. Approval was announced at short notice on 27.04.23. The board of commissioners is complete. Brands of the Berlin cycling club Wheel Divas e.V.

30 years internationale kids tour. What has this tour experienced! In spite of all it lives, is loved by our offspring. From 24.08.- 27.08.23 the anniversary tour will take place. This is an occasion to look back on the tried and tested and to announce possible changes. 1993 to 2023 - that's a long time. Historic Berlin stage races no longer exist, only the kids-tour lives on. And what it has been able to and has had to experience in all its ups and downs. Torn between beaming children on the one hand and a lack of support and chronic underfunding and adverse weather conditions on the other hand, it was and still is a lighthouse event and in the meantime, despite all that, the only one. Under no circumstances should such a Berlin success story be shelved. Even the attempt to let it die, to even consider competing with it, runs counter to the ethical values and goals of all sports fans. Founder Jens-Holger Mey spoke out against enmity, against hatred and for international understanding. Sport is a bridge. The task of our young people is to cross it. That is a great and lofty goal, especially in this day and age. We should start with the small and our own things and want to make an understanding on our own doorstep. As political as the character of the Tour has always been, so sporting has its content. Between 1993 and 2023, the Tour changed, often for the better. The organising team has been working on this improvement since December '22, and is now proposing to include a prologue in the kids' tour, just like the pros. It is planned that parallel to the 2nd stage of the Deutschlandtour '23 in Merzig, the international youngsters will also have a representative stage in Berlin. To this end, we are currently coordinating and exchanging ideas with politicians and the business community in Berlin. The anniversary tour will take place from 24.08.-27.08.23. 30 years of the International kids-tour. 30 years of sport against violence, for international understanding, 30 years of tradition in the Berlin Cycling Federation, 30 years of the motto: "Cycling kids fight for the yellow jersey and against xenophobia", 30 years of fair goes first. And it will be cool and diverse, this tour in 2023 - as cool as the kids. All in the spirit of Jens-Holger Mey and the sports metropolis Berlin. "In 1993, Jens-Holger Mey had a great idea. After numerous xenophobic attacks in Germany, he launched the kids-tour. The first event was held under the motto: "Cycling kids fight for the yellow jersey and against xenophobia". It was here that today's cycling stars came into the limelight for the first time. John Degenkolb, Pascal Ackermann, Maximilian Schachmann, Leon Rohde or Nils Weispfennig, among others, were successful here. Now the kids-tour urgently needs support. Don't let this great platform for the youngsters go under. Jens-Holger Mey passed away on 8 January 2020 at the age of 75. But the Kids Tour must live on. 250 young racers from around 10 nations want to win, finish and above all gain experience at Berlin from 21 to 25 August 2020. With the selection of the routes, all elements of a grand tour are offered. The distances are age-appropriate." from Challenge-Magazin.com. More information will follow here on the blog and on the website.

The international kids-tour also includes an archive of past tours. It is not easy to build up the archive, as many booklets have not survived the time so well, but that does not stop us. Friends and supporters of the tour can take a look at the past years and maybe one or the other athlete will find his or her way back :-). We have found some who want to actively shape cycling today and simply do it. Either with cycling races or activities for clubs. We will archive and publish further issues in loose succession. To start with, we publish the booklets of the first five years of the kids tour. kidstourheft Unfortunately, this booklet has not survived the test of time, but we are glad that we were able to find it. And now have fun and take a dive into the past. Your tour leader Michael Lemke 29th International kids-tour Berlin Save the date! 25-27 August 2023, Berlin Top junior cycling in Berlin

After an atmospheric 3rd stage, the 4th and final stage followed today. The circuit through Berlin once again demanded everything. Girls and boys alike were eagerly awaiting the overall result. In the end, everyone is a winner somehow, the winners, placers and participants. The 28th International kids-tour 2022 keeps its promise. Lots of emotions with laughter and tears and a promise: See you again in 2023. 4th stage kids-tour The programme is full again: team presentation, circuit race, wheel and fat tyre race, final award ceremony. The circuit race is 23 km for the U13s and 44 km for the U15s. A course in the Berlin district of Hellersdorf with a length of just under 3 kilometres was raced. Four corners, four times braking, four times starting per lap. That demands a lot of strength and concentration on the last day. Originally, more than 40 teams with about 200 starters registered with the organiser Wheel Divas Cycling Team. Now there were 26 starters in the U13 age group and 41 in the U15 age group. The traditional girls' race was part of the U15 classification. The girls, who are so important to us, got an extra classification. The speaker was again Karl-Heinz Wenddorff. He was the first speaker of the kids-tour in 1993, at that time together with the founder Jens-Holger Mey. "Kalle" did it again with flying colours, at least according to the old hands among the audience. God Peter was kind to us again after Friday: we had the best weather conditions. The race Unlike the final stage at the Tour de France, today, as expected, the starters and teams wanted to determine the results in their favour right from the start. Also the jersey rankings Best girl - pink jersey, best young athlete - white jersey, Best overall individual - yellow jersey or overall sprint ranking - green jersey were hotly contested. Every rider gave everything with maximum effort, nothing was left to chance.. Wheel and fat tyre races At lunchtime, the very smallest racers could race across Berlin's streets. The wide tyre fraction was dominated by SC Berlin. The last one had it best. He crossed the finish line after 3km, escorted by the police bicycle squad and our motorbike squad. Results and presents As always, Herzog- Sport made the results available online within a very short time. Christine Mähler was in charge of the commissioners' college. She was assisted by Ramona Pultz, Christian Kuschke, Peter Mattke, Sascha Larisch, Christian Lemke and Frank Schönfeldt. They had nothing to correct today. Quality and quantity were right here, too. Compared to other events, this pleased not only the little racers, but also the sporting directors and coaches for the evaluations. Among others, Torsten Schubert and wife | BURN Berliner Verein zur Unterstützung des Radsportnachwuchses e. V. (Berlin Association for the Support of Young Cyclists) took the honours.

Postscript Within less than two weeks the 28th International kids-tour was organised. And this despite applications without a penny of public money. Many thanks for the many good discussions; it is motivating to know that we are doing the right thing. "KBV" - no special incidents - the organising team is very, very satisfied. Everything has worked and is working, and there is a lot of room for improvement. At the very end, there was a well-deserved after-work beer, alternatively a shandy or champagne on Landsberger Chaussee. Many thanks to the entire team, everyone contributed to the success: in the end, it's the result that counts. And that was great! If you have any suggestions or tips, please feel free to contact us. Nothing is so perfect that it can't be made better. We will review everything here again in due course, then with all sponsors, supporters and helpers.

It couldn't have been better. Weather, audience, atmosphere, the race, the prizes. 28th International kids-tour 2022 - everything perfect. We end the hardest day with a smile and looking forward to the 4th stage. Stage 2 kids-tour The team time trial is on the programme. The age groups were U13 and U15 female and U15 male. The course was 10.4 km with an almost flat course. It was similar to the previous years. The expectations for high speeds were promptly fulfilled. With an average of 42.5 km/h, old lap times were matched. The winner was the team LV Brandenburg Team 1 (Brandenburg State Association). 3rd stage kids-tour The road race went over a circuit of 10km with then a total of 41km from Willmersdorf-Schönfeld-Weesow-Willmersdorf.

The kids-tour starts on time. Wife of the founder with moving words for the 1st stage. The traditional individual time trial is followed by rain and abandonment of the race. The race - a first short summary The individual time trial starts on time. Beautiful sunshine. Super atmosphere. Everyone is in a good mood. After a two-year break, Giesela Dietz-Mey enjoys this first stage. She is the heiress of the inventor Jens-Holger Mey and is happy with the kids. Memories of 1993. The age groups start as follows: In the U13 races, mixed teams of female and male riders are allowed. In the U15 there are separate races for male and female with separate teams. As always, the U13 will start. Only the age group with 27 starters managed to start dry. Half of the riders got to feel the good mood of God Petrus, the long awaited rain in Brandenburg came; and it was good. The commissioners met and postponed the start of the U15. We wait in buses, under tents, the weather was not suitable for the continuation of the tour. For safety reasons, the event was cancelled by the competition committee altogether. Results Herzog- Sport made the results available in no time at all and in excellent form. These were annulled due to the decision of the College of Commissioners. Overall, no results of the 1st stage will be published. Photos The photo service was provided by a whole team of photographers. Many thanks to all of them.

Zweirad- Center Stadler Berlin supports the kids-tour 2022. Germany's largest bicycle shop with 22 branches is represented by 2 in Berlin. Both teams are working flat out to prepare the event. "Who knows his goal will find the way." Managing Director Josef Zimmerer is an enthusiastic cyclist and has been committed to helping young Berliners for decades. The more than 100 employees at the Berlin site know this too. The Wheel Divas e.V. and Wheel Devils national league cycling teams have been added. "If it's going to happen, then it's going to happen...." is what the native Bavarian said at the last meeting of the kids-tour organisational team at the beginning of the week. We will do everything we can to make the kids-tour a highlight for the guests. On behalf of all the children and sports directors, on behalf of the entire organisational team, the national league teams Wheel Divas e.V., Wheel Devils MANY THANKS to the entire Stadler Team Berlin, and in particular to Max Fleischer (head of the Prenzlauer Berg workshop), Ricardo Heigl in the warehouse, Roy Buße, Jahja Wittig and Franz-Paul Vogt (.....). There is packing, commissioning, selecting, shipping, storing. There is a lot to discuss and coordinate. The time for preparation is short. Josef Zimmerer comes up with some very good ideas: A free technical service point will be available for the little racers during all stages, just like the neutral equipment van at the Tour de France. A special wish of Michael Lemke will be realised: an air compressor for the teams' support staff and leaders. But that's not all, his staff is scheduled as mechanics for all 4 stages. The prizes were a special focus of Josef Zimmerer. Now, for the first time, the members of the team classifications will also receive an appreciation in the form of awards. The bags for the starting documents, giveaways and small attentions are packed, prizes for the ceremonies are chosen, tents and equipment are on the truck. Tomorrow it starts: the 28th International kids-tour starts. Many thanks to all the staff of the teams from Zweirad- Center Stadler in Berlin- Charlottenburg und Prenzlauer Berg.

#energy4kids. M4Energy supports the kids-tour 2022. The cooperative energy supplier from Dresden spontaneously agreed. Every financial support helps organiser Lemke to offer the kids a worthy stage ride. "The true friend is recognised in adversity". The very short preparation time for kids-tour welds all active participants and friends of the sport together. "We can do more than just electricity and gas," says the energy cooperative M4Energy eG. It goes on to say: "Here we specifically help the voluntary commitment of clubs. Because top-class sport develops from popular sport. We promote the basic work for this". After my phone call yesterday with Maik Junker, the chairman of the board, it was clear that even if the entire shortfall could not be covered, the kids would be helped in any case. This promise comes unexpectedly and helps so much. Maik Junker and his board colleague Mirko Schlegel will also expand their commitment in cooperation with senderundempfaenger.de OHG. A very good and trusting signal for our work. On behalf of all the children and sports leaders, on behalf of the entire organising team, the national league teams Wheel Divas e.V., Wheel Devils Cycling Team: THANK YOU SO MUCH. Background: Almost everything this year did not go as planned at the beginning of the year. Lack of agreement, disputes, a blockade by the Berlin cycling federation (Berliner Radsportverband), economic intrigues threatened to push the kids to the wall. The traditional kids' tour was no longer to exist. The BRV appropriated the funds that had been available to the kids-tour for more than a decade. First, it applied for funding for the 28th kids-tour, even though it had never intended to organise the traditional event. This grant was earmarked for his own Youngster Race. And yes, we are happy about every new race. Who else but Michael Lemke, who has been the organiser and trainer for decades, sees the Youngster Race as an enrichment. The Youngster Race is not an alternative, not a replacement for the last remaining traditional race in Berlin. After the decision of the Frankfurt Main Regional Court, we only have a few days to make preparations for our participants. The entire marketing, i.e. sponsor acquisition, crowd-funding, the acquisition of further donations, live-stream, photographers and so on - all this could not be done as expected. Even the loyal donors and small sponsors were therefore not contacted. The reason was that the BRV board deliberately blocked the invitation to tender. The organising team realised too late that the approval of a kids-tour was not wanted from the beginning. Sina Päske and Michael Lemke were led around by the nose. It would be a scoundrel to think of the BRV's own Youngster Race and then think evil of it. Unexpectedly comes often, or as my grandmother used to say: Luck is with the brave. Now Maik Junker said yes to the tour, yes to the children, despite and precisely because of the previous history. The shortfall is getting smaller. And that is a good thing. Every contribution helps the kids. It would be nice if you could also make a contribution. It's easy to do via Paypal. Recipient: sina.paeske@kids-tour-berlin.de Subject: kids-tour 2022.
