🇪🇸 GranGuanche Bikepacking Race [EP8] | El Hierro | The End Of The World

The GranGuanche Audax Gravel is a self-supported, single-stage, fixed-route, endurance cycling event across the Canary Islands. It’s not a race, it’s a collective adventure and a personal challenge to finish the route. There’s no cut-off time, there are no prizes, no medals, no brevet cards or finisher diplomas. The Audax is focused on the experience rather than the final results. It’s a demanding route for experienced riders as it includes serious climbs, high mountains, and remote areas. Experienced means well-trained, technically skilled, and wisely equipped. Exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and night rides add even more risk to a challenging ride. Participants are fully responsible for their safety and logistics. The Audax follows an extended version of the GranGuache GRAVEL route from Lanzarote to El Hierro for a total of about 800km and 17.000 mt climb. The route mainly goes by on gravel roads and secondary paved roads but includes rocky single tracks, sandy sections and about 1-hour hike-a-bike. It’s open to any kind of bike, we recommend gravel bikes with low gearing and min 40mm wide tyres. The Audax pace is the challenge to connect all the scheduled ferries in a non-stop ride, it’s only achievable by ultra-cycling athletes, the entry fee will be fully refunded to every rider fast enough to make it. ------ Join this channel and watch upcoming videos before anybody else!    / @bikepackingadventures   If you enjoy the channel and would like to show your support you can find me on: https://buymeacoffee.com/mraudax - Thank you!
