One link I want to share is the bikes of the Seven Serpents Quick Bite 2025. It is always interesting to scroll through all the setups. You might get inspired by some. But before an unsupported bikepacking event starts it can make you, as a participant, question all of your choices because you see people carrying almost nothing. Have I packed too much? Have I packed too little? Should I unpack this or that? I did not think about this, should I buy it last minute?

While writing this, another message drops in - by Marco Ricci (cap 103), who unfortunately joins the DNF list. His navigation device doesn't respond anymore. Not even turning it off by pressing the on/off button for looong works.

![DNF face seven serpents quick bite](//images.ctfassets.net/6hyijb95boju/5fCQfJN4q14wlDrM5gqOlv/a8828738035aa8e97a25a9d292ab658b/WhatsApp_Image_2025-05-12_at_08.25.41.jpeg)

But luckily he doesn't feel too bad even thought his stem tells him "DNF is not an option" and tries to catch up with the first riders at the finish line.

I am off to work for now. Bye

Bikes of the event

Good morning!

let's start at the front of the field. Four riders made it to the 23:59 ferry.
- Nils Lagemann (64)
- Paul Zamecek (152)
- Johannes Ambrosch (5)
- Anna Kofler (59)

Watching the replay of the race, it seems that Anna and Paul decided to have a little rest right after the first ferry, while Nils and Johannes continued to the second ferry. In the morning they all met again to leave the island. Now it seems that Anna is taking a little break and probably having breakfast in Moscenicka Draga, one village on the coast before the steep climb up to the third checkpoint.

Yesterday evening I received a message which made me smile. Solo rider Luis Rey Sanchez (cap 122) sent me a picture of his brief conversation with ChatGPT.

Every year some people are seeing bears during Seven Serpents and Seven Serpents Quick bite, so it definitly can be the shit of a brown bear.

Many riders are back on the road again, some are having breakfast and starting in day two. I hope that I will receive some interesting stories of some of the riders during the day for my evening update.

Scratch report:
Unfortunately I saw some more DNFs on the map

- Siska Van der bijl (131)
- Bara Pilna (77)
- Nick Brüggemann (162B)

And now: enjoy riding, enjoy dotwatching.

What kind of shit is this?

The first 14 hours of the Seven Serpents Quick Bite 2025 are over. For the front pack the challenge was to make it to the last ferry of the day. If I read the schedule correctly, it will leave at 23:59 from Krk, the first island, to Cres, the second island of the race. 

I have to confess that I am not good in reading the ferry schedule. During my Seven Serpents Quick Bite I missed one of the ferries even thought I was there perfectly in time because I missread the schedule. So I had to wait for one hour.

Comparing this years race leaders with last years leader Omar, the race to the last ferry literally will be a race. Omar crossed the bridge to Krk last year 45 minutes earlier than the first riders this year. Will they make it to the last ferry of the day?

The first female rider is Anna Kofler from Austria, she reached the second Checkpoint on position 4. Some of you might know her. She rode Badlands last year and finished on 15th position overall in 2 days 9 hours and 11 minutes. According to procyclingstats.com, in 2023 and 2024 she won the Bronze medal of the National Championships Austria in Individual Time Trial discipline. If you want to learn more about Anna Kofler and you understand german, you should listen this episode of Sitzfleisch podcast:

Further back on the map, some riders took nice and long lunch breaks and probably enjoyed refueling at its best. Speaking of food, I just saw an insta-story of Matthew Falconer, who rides as a pair (164A). He had some pasta mixed with fries for dinner. Yummy.

Most of the riders have passed CP1, I remember the last few metres up that hill like it was yesterday. And I remember some highlights like the Predjama Castle, the lake Cerkniško jezero, the Castle Sneznik.

As the sun goes down, some riders already have booked accommodations. Some have found a campsite to stay. A good decision because you will see everything of the beautiful route. As nice as riding through the night can be, you will miss seeing much even thought this night might be brighted by the almost full moon. I rode seven serpents in 2022 and seven serpents quick bite in 2023 I hardly saw anything of the national park as it was dark both times.

Scratch report:

Matteo Pedersini (89) had some problems and could not finish the race.

The first 14 hours

Welcome to the race commentary. I have only recently taken on this role and will be diving deep into the participants list and this year's route tomorrow morning.

The little serpents will start tomorrow morning at 7am, 520 km and 10,000 metres of climbing are waiting. According to the race map, there are 155 solo riders and 18 pairs.

My name is Sandra, I rode the first edition of the Seven Serpents Quick Bite in 2023. And now I am super excited to be dotwatching the 2025 edition and commenting on the race.

Welcome to 2025th edition of the Seven Serpents Quick Bite
