10 years ago, I bought a bike and set out on a journey of several hundred kilometres a few months later. I had no idea how much it would change me. I gained endurance, the ability to thrive in unfamiliar environments, found new friendships, and most importantly, I realized that limits exist mainly in our minds…
This year, I don't want to attempt anything less than three famous Mountain races on three continents.
Done ✅ I covered 1,300 kilometers through the Moroccan desert in 4 days and 19 hours. From the first night, I was chasing racers ahead of me, and on the final night, I squeezed into 13th place. The route was no joke—over 100 competitors dropped out and never reached the finish line in the city of Essaouira. Read more
In preparation ⌛ The call of the races will take me to the Pindus Mountains in Greece at the end of May. I’m used to bears by now, but the real danger comes from wild dogs. The route is "only" 900 kilometers, but with nearly 27,000 meters of climbing, it’s going to be brutal. Want to follow my preparation? 👉 Read more
The biggest challenge comes in August—nearly 2,000 kilometers through the remote mountains of Kyrgyzstan. As if that wasn’t enough, I’ll be moving at high altitudes, up to 4,000 meters above sea level. Scorching heat by day, freezing nights, and complete isolation. This will, without a doubt, be the hardest thing I’ve ever attempted in my life.
The challenge of the year 🔥 4,400 kilometers from Canada to Mexico through the Rocky Mountains. I fought through freezing rain and snow on the mountain ridges, but health issues forced me to pull out. What did I really go up against? Read more
Spiral is a different kind of bikepacking race. You don’t get the full route, only the next 10 kilometers ahead of you. The temperature is low, and the night feels endless. So, what happens when the forecast calls for heavy snow? Read more
Adventure in the Alps. This race has 30,000 meters of elevation gain. It's a real challenge on its own. But this year, I fought through heatwaves and... ghosts. Yeah, I didn’t get enough sleep. Read more
I write reports from races and review bikepacking gear.
