Vast, tough, stunning.
…and we’d love to share that experience with you.

THE SPECIAL PART
We have two overnight checkpoints, at roughly 1/3 and 2/3 of the route. There you can sleep on your mats while we provide food. We’ll also show you scenic shortcuts so you can reach the checkpoints with slightly fewer kilometres per day.
RULES?
You ride at your own risk and are responsible for everything yourself.
Group riding, including drafting, is explicitly allowed.
To receive an official ride time, you must complete the full route without shortcuts.
Leave no trace.
QUESTIONS?
Can I take shortcuts?
Yes! We offer official shortcuts to reach the checkpoints with fewer daily kilometres. Your ride time won’t be counted though.
How do I get to the start / back from the finish?
Karlsruhe and Freiburg are both well-connected by train. Small bag transfer (max 30 litres / 10 kg) from the start to the finish is included.
What happens in bad weather?
The ride takes place in any weather. We only reserve the right to cancel in case of extreme weather warnings.
Is there timing?
Yes, via tracker. To find out your riding time, you have to complete the full route without shortcuts.
What do I need to bring?
Your bike (d’uh!), helmet, sleeping mat and sleeping bag as well as slippers (seriously!) for the checkpoints, plus everything you need on the road.
Do I need a specific bike?
No e-bike. Everything else is up to you.
Is there a FLINTA* quota?
Yes, a fixed number of places is reserved for FLINTA* participants.
