One of the most challenging edition yet

Big thanks to every rider who participated in this year’s MBA. Due to severe sandstorms and rain it became the most challenging edition yet. The official results are now available online. The next edition is set to begin on October 6, 2024. As always, the route has limited slots, reserved for experienced bikepackers, with 4 slots already taken.

Registration for the MBA 2024 will open on December 1st.

1st ever finisher of the 2 Continents Adventure

Stronger than elements!

Congratulations to Irena Sosinska, the first-ever finisher of the 2 Continents Adventure!

From the Basque Country to the Atlantic Ocean, conquering gravel, single trails, mountain passes, pistes, and sand dunes, covering a distance of 4000km and ascending 60000m.

Despite electronics failure, scorpio sting, damaged chargers, mechanical issues, several days in sandstorms, and a final day in the rain, she persevered. Nothing could stop her.

“What a ride! What an incredible adventure. Absolutely f.cking surreal. I swear I will do it again!”

Each year, new roads erase this special journey, bit by bit.

Finding and creating the perfect route has become quite a challenge.

Starting in 2024, we’ll offer this exclusive adventure exclusively through organized, semi-organized and customized tours.

It’s an adventure. After heavy rainfalls the piste out of Ahouli mines was destroyed. Anyway it did not stop the riders to continue.
