Beschreibung dieses Rides

The Orbit360 cosmos is continuously expanding towards the deepest edges of the Outer Space. The
Orbit360 HQ just recently came up with a new Orbit360 event called SNEAK PEAKS.

SNEAK PEAKS is a fixed route, unsupported, single-stage bikepacking expedition that starts and
finishes in Bolzano. It crosses the Italian Dolomites and Triglav Mountains in Slovenia. The clock does
not stop and there are no prizes. It follows gravel, single and double track, tarmac roads and old
colonial pistes
that have long been forgotten and fallen into disrepair.

Sneak Peaks bikepacking event through the Triglav Mountains in Slovenia.

There is some walking, and at times there are great distances between resupply points. Riders will
have to decide for one out of three routes: ENTREE (500km, 19.000hm), CLASSIC (750km, 29.000hm)
and ADVENTURE (1.100km, 39.000hm).
The highlights of SNEAK PEAKS are the check points, that have been carefully selected by the race
director Raphael Albrecht. Each check point is a Refugio, located on top of the magnificent mountain
ranges, waiting for the riders with the best pasta, pizza and coffee.
The vision of the race director Raphael Albrecht is “to host a demanding, yet lovely and passionate
event, where riders ride not against each other, but together against the course.” Sneak Peaks
follows the classic rules and principles of unsupported cycling events, but in the spirit of traditional
Audax, riders are allowed to ride in a group. The event is more focused on the experience rather than
the final results. There’s no time limit. But riders will get a surprise at the finish line.
Sneak Peaks will go beyond the “leave no trace” principals by offsetting all CO2 emissions, generated
by the rider’s transport, overnight stays and food. This being said, a #noflyride rule for all riders will
be conducted. Furthermore, in addition to the reasonable regular entry tickets, the organizer offers
FLINTA* tickets and SOLI CARDS to encourage under-represented groups in cycling to join the
Orbit360 Outer Space Community.
