On Sunday morning, 32 riders set off from Irun, Spain, marking the start of the 2025 Iberica-Traversa. Among them, 11 riders have chosen the Gravel & Trail route, while two brave participants are tackling the epic 4,023 km “2-Continents” route, which finishes all the way in Sidi Ifni, Morocco.
The start wasn’t easy – cold temperatures, rain, and tough conditions greeted the riders until about 20 km before Checkpoint 1 in Pamplona. But soon after, the sun broke through, offering the kind of weather we usually expect in Spain.
Still, the conditions are far from the heat that had been forecast just days earlier. Daytime temperatures in northern Spain are hovering around 15°C, with nighttime lows dipping to just 5°C – making this possibly one of the coldest editions of the Iberica-Traversa to date.
