About me
My name is Michal Ozogán and I’m Czech Republic. I started bikepacking in 2015 when I signed up for my first unsupported race — 1000 Miles Adventure. A few months before the race, I bought a bike and hoped for the best. I didn’t make it to the finish line that time. It took me a while to really fall in love with this unique sport. Now, I participate in several races, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, each year, and I strive to compete for the top spots. I left a well-paid job in the big city to start a new life in the countryside. I became my own boss.
I’m fascinated by what the human body can achieve when combined with sheer willpower. I truly value the friendly community that has formed around this sport, and I also enjoy the vast amount of time I get to spend alone with my thoughts during the races. I can’t think of a better vacation.
I make a living as a developer, I’m a history enthusiast, and when I was a child, I wanted to be a writer. You can find more content on my Instagram.
