Gravel experiences by gravgrav – Max Riese
Hellenic Mountainrace in Greece
Lynx Trail educational bikepacking trail in Slovenia and Croatia.
Max Riese is best known for racing ultra distance bikepacking races across the planet.
His preferred terrain is rough and remote, with little resupply In challenging, mountainous terrain.
As a 3 time Silkroad Mountainrace, FURTHER Perseverance, Rhino Run finisher and much more he has proven he can endure nearly everything on a bike and compete at the top level of the ultra distance scene.
When the Hellenic Mountainrace was announced through Greece last year, Max knew this race had his name on it.
Just shy of 900km with around 29000m of climbing on rough mountain bike terrain are just his thing. Not what you would expect of Greece and a story that turned out to be life changing.
Also there were a lot of bears. If you wonder how to cope with wildlife while riding your bike gravgrav’s Lynx Trail is designed to educate you on large carnivores, why we need them and how to behave with them. Designed by Max, together with two national parks in Slovenia and Croatia.
Join him for a talk on Friday and a warmup gravel ride on Saturday!
