The 2nd edition of Iberica-Traversa northbound is now finished

Marco who was the last remaining rider on the route had scratched due to stomach issues.
Due to the rain in the south of Spain that made the route around the Gorafe desert unrideable was certainly one of the toughest.

Thanks to all and every each who took time to be a part of this amazing adventure. Thank you for your feedback. It was pure pleasure to be on the route with you all!

You can still follow Jan who is finishing his ride to Irun out of competition.

The next start of the Iberica-Traversa will be September 25th, gravel/trail and the new road version.

Despite all the mechanical issues and being stuck in the mud for many hours! He finishes the most demanding ride he’s ever taken on in an amazing time of 9D 19H 22M.

Massive congratulations!

Meaka in the Basque country

Same but different. The new road route follows nearby the Iberica-Traversa gravel/trail route. But the landscape is showing up different.The first pass on the route: Meaka in the Basque country with 636m elevation.

Utah

The riders call it “Utah”. This hidden part anywhere in Spain is part of the Iberica-Traversa gravel/trail route. Here you find one of the trail sections, we think worth it to leave the gravel road.
