FAQ

Luggage transport is NOT available. You’ll be responsible for transporting your own gear (clothing, mattress, sleeping bag, etc.) on your bike. 

We offer a limited amount of tent rentals. If you don’t have a lightweight, compact tent, you can rent one from us, and we’ll set it up at the campsite for you.

There are a limited number of power outlets available at the campsite. We recommend you bring a USB power bank or battery to charge your GPS device at the campsite or during the day.

The sunlight should last sufficiently for you not to require lights, but it’s advisable to carry a compact set of lights to enhance your visibility in case of fog or adverse weather conditions.

Ensure that you have all the essential tools and spare parts to address common issues such as flat tires, worn brake pads, loose bolts, and possibly even a broken chain. Particularly, having spare brake pads is crucial if there’s a possibility of rain. Additionally, consider carrying some cable ties, which can come in handy for various tasks.

Anticipate covering approximately 110-125 kilometers and ascending about 1600-2000 meters in elevation per day, with a substantial portion of the route being on gravel roads.

Yes. We start and finish at the same location.

You’ll require a GPS device since the route is NOT signposted. We will supply you with the GPX track a few weeks prior to the event.

We recommend using a bike with at least 33mm or larger tires. The bigger the better because your bike will be loaded (40-50mm is ideal). But any off-road capable bike in good working order can be used.

Carry enough food and water with you, as shops won’t be readily available along the route. We’ve marked some points of interest on the provided GPX file but you might need to leave the route.
