HoW it works?

• This is a self-supported challenge: no help from your family/friends with info, food, accommodation or mechanical support.
• No drafting: you can not follow other participants, cyclists or vehicles for aerodynamical advantages.
• You already know the departure point: Alte, Algarve (around 1 hour away from Faro Airport).
• A few hours before the departure - during the briefing - we will share the parcour/set route between the departure point and Check Point 1 (CP1).
• After the CP1 is totally free route and heading the unknown: in CP1 you will know the location (coordinates) of the CP2, in CP2 you will know the location of CP3 and so on...
• The CPs are located in remote and unfamiliar areas. So being a local rider won't necessarily be an advantage.
• The basic principle: if you decided to get lost, you will get lost. So make no sense to inform other participants about the CP locations, neither ask for information from the outside.
• The slowest riders will have an idea - via live tracking and map - about the location of the CPs. You can see it as an opportunity of the last riders to balance the 'game'. If you don't want to have an idea of the locations, don't check the live map.
• A road bike will allow you to go faster, but a gravel or mtb bike will allow you to use "shortcuts". Your bike your route.
