5 Stages Routes

The night before the start, we have a welcom party with dinner  and sleep in a accommodation.
Every day, we'll enjoy a fun ride along a designated route of approximately 70km, followed by a wild camping experience. On the final day, we'll return to the starting point, sleep in a accommodation, and enjoy a finish party.

The 363km loop course consists of five stages. Most of the ride is unpaved doubletrack with little traffic, with some paved roads, so there's no technical difficulty. However, you'll occasionally have to cross streams or mud pits. Don't worry, these streams are shallow and short, making them easy to navigate on foot.

​​

GPS Navigation is strongly requirerd

While we start together each day, we'll ride at our own pace, so there may be times when you're completely alone. Therefore, you need to use the provided GPS track to navigate the trail. There are numerous unmarked forks in the road, and a wrong turn could lead you to a completely different destination.
