The KAUKAS Gravel is a 900km self-supported bikepacking ride/ race through Aukštaitija woods in Lithuania…
Want to experience the thrill of an ultra-cycling or bikepacking race? KAUKAS Gravel is a fantastic starting point to discover the joy of long rides.
Don’t let the name ‘Aukštaitija’ (highlands) fool you – there are no mountains here (just around 7500 meters of elevation gain over 900 kilometers). But we’ve thrown in some short spicy gravel ascents to make sure your legs burn a little more than you bargained for. Expect to enjoy mostly gravel roads with a few paved sections.
Be prepared for a few swamp crossings – it’s all part of the experience! Kaukas Gravel is designed to help you reconnect with nature, enjoy the freedom of solo cycling, and escape the pressures of daily life.
Afterall, riding a bike is always about having fun, thus, grab your friends and head to the forest for some cycling challenge! You can race each other for a dose of friendly competition or simply enjoy a relaxed bikepacking adventure together!
