350 kilometers. 7,000 meters of elevation. Through Trentino and deep into the Dolomites.
Trentino Gravel is not a classic bike race, but an unsupported bikepacking ultra event by Bike Adventure Series. The route leads over remote gravel roads, quiet side roads and through some of the most impressive landscapes of the Dolomites. Along the way, I rode over Passo Rolle, Passo Margherita and Passo Brocon, constantly surrounded by the immense mountain landscape of Trentino.
The event is designed to be completed over five days. I decided, however, to ride the entire route in three days. No support vehicle, no external support and no fixed race strategy. Everything I need along the way has to be carried and organized by myself. This video follows me through these three days in the Dolomites: long climbs, endless gravel roads, fast descents, changing weather and those moments when a planned bikepacking adventure suddenly turns into a real challenge.
