¡Muy buenas alforjeros! Justo ahora hace dos años tuve la oportunidad de recorrer Croacia en bici en mi viaje por los Balcanes. Aprovechando esa experiencia os propongo un itinerario por las Islas Dálmatas y Dubrovnik, y una serie de consejos para disfrutar del cicloturismo en Croacia.

Paulina Pinto and Mariano López are the masterminds behind Across Andes, the first ultra-cycling race in Chile. The race is a 1,100-kilometre mixed terrain voyage from Villarrica in Chile, crossing the Andes mountain range into Argentina and back. We asked Paulina and Mariano to share some of their favourite memories from the race and an insight into the race organiser experience.

The call of the mountain is even stronger during winter, when the snow breaks the tree-tops and the cold weather freezes
the bones. During this time, when most people put their bike to rest, an adventure between two Italian buddies began.

It was a 6am start on the shores of the Black Sea. Bikes loaded, all 258 riders were ready to set off and follow their carefully plotted GPS routes towards victory and the Atlantic Ocean.

This top-10 list has been compiled using data collected from 150 travellers who have completed epic cross-continental bike journeys.

Axel is sharing the equipment list to be used on every bikingman ultra bikepacking event or as an example for a bikepacking trip. Feel free to ask any questions on the comment section below. Stay strong
