Wonder how...

I rate Hellenic Mountain Race,
Alps Divide Ultra Challenge &
El Piri in terms of technicality,
overall route difficulty etc.?

Which of those I would love to do again sometime?

How much hiking each demanded of me?

And also how you could
quantify this for yourself?

This article has you covered: https://torstenfrank.wordpress.com/2025/06/18/hellenic-mountain-race-2025-by-the-numbers-and-compared-to-alps-divide-and-el-piri-omg-its-so-much-hiking/

Neu auf meinem Blog:

"Hellenic Mountain Race 2025 in Zahlen und verglichen mit Alps Divide und El Piri – OMG, so viel Schieben…"

Gibt es in Deutsch und Englisch (beide Versionen verlinken sich gegenseitig).

Also began a new album over on my 2nd flickr account for the El Piri Bikepacking event and started posting photos there:

Experiment: Let's see if I, Mr. Detailed and Verbose, can manage an Instagram Recap in the style of one post per day of racing/riding. 🤣

Did you know I'm also a map nerd?

Cycling gives me joy on so many levels and before, during and after. 🥰

Having just returned home from El Piri / Girona I look back at already quite a bit of exploration of the Pyrenees.

What you see are (parts of) #TPBR2019, #TPRNo1 & #ElPiri - i.e. 2 inaugural events. All awesome experiences and well worth doing again!

Finished the inaugural edition of "El Piri". A climbing intense 800ish km long and 20.000 m climbing bikepacking event in some of the most remote and wild parts of the Catalan Pyrenees. With "every" kind of surface and gradients so steep your granny gears weep up and your brakes down!

See the Instagram for my initial thoughts:

Well - I guess it’s happening. First bikepacking event of the season! I’m starting traveling to Girona today. Saturday I’ll start „El Piri“. L’Esperit del Bikepacking’s second event in the Catalan Pyrenees. Just shy of 800 km and a nice dose of climbing and descending on mixed surfaces. I hope for nice weather, great views and nice riding. :)
