It's a wrap! Seven Serpents Gravel was so incredible that no one could expect! What a precious experience we all just had!
I want to restart from few lines of my "way too emotional" speech: everything you found here at @sevenserpents.cc comes from my previous experiences as rider and racer. I could learn a lot participating and meeting amazing people and organisers, I owe them a lot of my know how.
- Thanks to Mike Hall, for starting all this community around the unsupported bikepacking scene!
- Thank you David @davidfuhgawz for teaching me a method to avoid panic, and schedule things meticulously!
- Thank you Juliana @2wheelsdoubletrouble for teaching me how to make people have fun suffering, making them struggle on steep climbs on crazy type of terrains!
- Thank you Carlos @biziosona for teaching me how to drive "loco", just to take a picture or to meet a rider!
-Thank you Andrea @andrea_borchi for teaching me the real value of a nice territory. Bikepacking is not only race, it's also panoramas and stunning villages!
Thanks to all the riders who participated, YOU made all this possible! See you next time, see you sometime! 💚🐍

Dream media team! Big shootout to these three, young and talented guys! They were not expecting such energy from the riders and they totally enjoyed the great vibes! From their side this was a unique experience! 👏💥

Just one week ago...but it feels like ages! Is it the same for you? We spent a really intense week but we loved every single moment of it! 😍

What a week! All remaining riders finished, so officially Seven Serpents Gravel is over! We must admit that we couldn't expect such a positive feedback from riders and dotwatchers, it was totally a blast! Thanks EVERYONE for helping, participating and following! 💚🐍

@jo_fietser was definitely one of the most enthusiastic finishers...he was pure adrenaline when arriving in Trieste! Jonas is the second rider completing the route...it took him exactly 60 hours 💥

Fragments from day two of Seven Serpents. Krk island was a challenging section for the riders but they will surely have a bittersweet memory of all the suffering very soon!

We bring great fun by getting inspired from the best. This was pretty much @enough_cycling style...maybe next year we see the REAL show? ;)
We think @nils.crrvn will remember that sparkling shower for weeks!
