Pirinexus

No gravel experience? No problem! For this trip, all that is required it to be comfortable riding 60-80km, be in good physical shape and willing to take on a little adventure! The rides will include plenty of breaks for pictures, delicious food and coffee. We’re not looking for performance, but rather to enjoy the scenery and have fun :)

Of course. If you're concerned you don't have the training for this trip, a lightweight gravel E-bike is an option so you can enjoy the trip with little effort. E-gravel bikes are available from EUR 370 for the week at Eat Sleep Cycle and we'd be happy to help with the booking.

This is a women-only trip for all ages, all origins! Anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to join. We provide a safe space for women to ride on gravel in a supportive, non-competitive environment. 

Yes! Many of the women on these trips come on their own, and it's a great opportunity to meet new people and make connections. Whether you're an experienced rider or new to bikepacking, you'll find a supportive and welcoming community. This adventure is all about empowerment, fun, and exploring together :)

We hope to fill the trip with a maximum of 10 participants.

The accommodations are hand-picked small hotels ideally located in the center of the town or village.

Most definitely. Transfers for your own bike and storage of your bike box during the trip is included.
