Ura e Mesit is an old bridge, about 5 km northeast of Shkodër. It is a monument of Postribë culture, turning the site into a tourist attraction with a lot of visitors from all around the world. The architecture of the bridge is definitely intriguing with round slick stones and stone plates. The surrounding panorama gives the bridge an even more picturesque view. Mesi bridge is part of the Illyrian Loop, and you will admire it after 150km from the start! 🙌 ILLYRIAN LOOP SHKODËR 12/SEP/2024 550km x 12.000m The registration process for Illyrian Loop is still open, the link is in bio! 📸 @omarmartinello . . . #serpentsarerising #sevenserpentscc #sevenserpentsgravel #7SG2024 #quickbite #illyrianloop #pasol #vivifuori #missgrape #missgrapepeople #8bar #8barbikes #elitecycling #ciclovation #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #cyclingadventures #ultracycling #cycling #gravel #gravelgrinder #ridegravel

A very special mention to Ariane Richter, technically the first woman in Trieste (but) in "pair" category! 🙌🙌 Together with Michael Kneip they finished as 3rd pair on a pretty stormy night! 91 hrs 15 mins to complete the full course, what a ride! @ari.bln see you next year for Quick Bite!? Maybe solo? ;) 📸 @bruno.gpx . . . #serpentsarerising #sevenserpentscc #sevenserpentsgravel #7SG2024 #quickbite #illyrianloop #pasol #vivifuori #missgrape #missgrapepeople #8bar #8barbikes #elitecycling #ciclovation #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #cyclingadventures #ultracycling #cycling #gravel #gravelgrinder #ridegravel

Big congrats to our third woman finishing the Seven Serpents' course! Kathrin Springet @kathrinspringet completed the 840km in 129 hrs 20 mins! She arrived in Piazza Unità d'Italia with a big smile on her face! 😁😊 📸 @bruno.gpx . . . #serpentsarerising #sevenserpentscc #sevenserpentsgravel #7SG2024 #quickbite #illyrianloop #pasol #vivifuori #missgrape #missgrapepeople #8bar #8barbikes #elitecycling #ciclovation #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #cyclingadventures #ultracycling #cycling #gravel #gravelgrinder #ridegravel

We were very impressed while dot-watching Giulia's progress. She was first chasing and then getting chased by Maya...we think that the clay of istra was the unexpected event that drastically slowed her down. Big shootout for our second solo female finisher @g.blab that at her first experience already showed us great strength and resilience! Total time: 106 hrs 52 mins! Brava! 📸 @bruno.gpx . . . #serpentsarerising #sevenserpentscc #sevenserpentsgravel #7SG2024 #quickbite #illyrianloop #pasol #vivifuori #missgrape #missgrapepeople #8bar #8barbikes #elitecycling #ciclovation #bikepacking #bikepackinglife #cyclingadventures #ultracycling #cycling  #gravel #gravelgrinder #ridegravel
