Visit official site →This event is designed for experienced gravel and mountain bike riders with good fitness and technical skills who enjoy challenging multi-day off-road adventures and a communal overnight experience.
Riders new to off-road cycling, those without adequate training, or individuals lacking experience with technical terrain, sustained climbing, and bikepacking will find this event very demanding.
Training should prioritize long-distance endurance, significant climbing ability, and technical bike handling skills for singletrack and descents, with an emphasis on sustained effort over two days.

There are two main routes: Peyote (180 km with 4300m of elevation) and Calumet (150 km with 3200m of elevation). Both traverse the Umbrian Apennines on off-road trails featuring technical climbs and descents, singletrack sections, and potentially some hike-a-bike (portage).
A gravel bike with wide tires (at least 700x42/45 or 650) and soft gearing for climbing is highly recommended. A mountain bike is also a suitable option. E-bike charging is not guaranteed at the village.
