🚴♂️ About Bike Adventure Series
The Bike Adventure Series is a community dedicated to bikepacking and adventure cycling that brings together more than 20,000 cyclists from around the world. It’s not just a series of events, but a movement that embraces the “no race” philosophy, where experience and sharing take precedence over competition.
Each event has been designed to give you an authentic adventure, allowing you to discover magnificent territories at your own pace, without the pressure of having to prove anything to anyone. From Italy to Norway, the Bike Adventure Series offers you the opportunity to explore some of Europe’s most beautiful routes, sharing the road with people who share your same passion.

⚠️ Route Issues
🚧 Attention at km 20
Location: Forni in Suvereto (both long and short routes)
Situation: The road is closed with a barrier due to erosion of the road surface caused by recent flooding.
We have recently verified that cycling or walking through this section does not present particular difficulties (the road is always very wide). After this short section there is a crossing of a small river through a concrete threshold that will require proceeding with great care.
🛡️ Important Safety Reminders:
- If you don’t feel safe: you can exit the track at any time and resume it as soon as the conditions you deem critical have ceased
- Passages too technical: if there are passages that you consider too technical for you, get off your bike and face that passage on foot
