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!

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.

Steven arrived at the finish line at 2:22 am

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!

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.
