B-HARD Ultra-endurance Bikepacking Race Movie:1200 km of Adventure Cycling in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Спорт
B-Hard Ultra Endurance Bikepacking Race @bhardultrarace , 1200 km with 14000 m of climbing 🏔 cycling through Bosnia and Herzegovina. First pair to complete the course in 69h.
Signing up spontaneously and starting with little preparation or expectation, I was blown away by the raw beauty of the landscape, the friendliness and hospitality of the people and the outstanding organisation of the race🚴♀️
The course was challenging, and confronted me with my biggest fears on the bike and riding it in pairs adding a new dimension of complexity.
Sharing this experience with a group of amazing fellow riders before, during and after the race made it so much more than a bike race.
Thank you @cybernck creating this one-of-a-kind event! If long-distance cycling and exploring is your thing, BiH and B-Hard deserve a spot on your bucket list.

Sure when you finished your 400km you can do also 1200. The importance is managing; food, sleep and a good spirit. Everyone is gonna feel shit somewhere in those 400km, but it is keep going managing the shitness, maybe just go a little bit slower but always keep pedaling. When I met @buzzalong at CP6 after the night she was shit like hell but still she managed to go to cp7 another 100km.
Amazing adventure, I'm inspired now myself to start randoneurring in the Netherlands to get into these kind of rides myself!

Between the lights, the bike computers and phone, i always struggle with the one or the other. Front/Back lights on, 2nd Front/Back Lights charging. After 2 Days, my powerbank is running out of juice. Do you take a fast charger with you and charge in hotels?

Wahoo, really happy to hear that :)I am sure you will have a great time, the event and organization are amazing! I had two front and rear lights, a Garmin Computer, and an anker 20000mah power bank. I only had to stop once at a hotel to charge my devices, I normally carry two Anker quick USB chargers with me, good thing about B-hard is that some of the checkpoints were in hotels where you can stay or charge your devices. Good luck for next year 🚲

Great feat guys, well done! great scenery and off-the-beaten path race! roads didn't look like very smooth, was it ok with 25mm tyre (or you have 28/30mm?)? any chance you have tyre recommendation and do you inflate them each day for race or is it fine not to for 4 days? thanks for the tips!
@Buzzalong.cycling
Жыл бұрын
Many thanks for your comment Alan, most roads were good but sometimes there was construction. I saw people with 25mm tyres during the race but I ride 30mm at the front at 32mm at the back for comfort, they are tubeless tyres and they were good without having to inflate them until the finish, so around 3 days. The best tyres I tried so far are the Continental grand prix 5000 s. Hope is helpful :)

This bike was really easy to assemble kzread.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
