Probably the most challenging adventure one can do!

Two Continents Bike Adventure will kick off in just three weeks.

Stage one will follow the Iberica Traversa route: 1720km across the Iberian Peninsula mostly unpaved routes and trails.

Stage two will start in Tangier following the Morocco-BikeAdventure route to Sidi Ifni.

2300km through the Riff Mountains and over the Middle Atlas to the Sahara desert.

A total of 4000km and 60,000 meters of climbing makes it probably the most challenging adventure one can do!

Congratulations to Felix Wyns!

Congratulations to Felix Wyns!

He arrived at the finish line at 22:22 which was just after the sunset, conquering the last 300km with almost 4,500 meters of climbing in 15h.

What a finish!

He started the IBERICA-TRAVERSA as a pair rider together with Gehan. Unfortunately, Gehan was forced to quit the race due to knee pain. They rode together for 1300km.

The course was smashed in 9D 15H 22M.

Massive congratulations to Nico Valsesia!

Nico Valsesia rolled in at 23:42!

He covered the course of 1720km and 30,000 meters of climbing in just 7 days 16 hours and 42 minutes.

The time is even more impressive after the rain in the south turned the red soil into a sticky not ridable route. Nico did not stop!
