Daniela is a seasoned bikepacker and ultra-cyclist. Lately she is more into sleeping 8 hours in a tent with a coffee in the morning than powernapping in a ditch in Kyrgyzstan. Time to use the break from ultracycling to listen to and read the stories behind the scenes.

Race Reports
GranGuanche Audax Road 2025
Back for its 4th edition, the GranGuanche Audax Road 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.
