400 Ultra Bikepacking 2026

Bikers, friends. I have had some of these years and I have already completed a few races. My journey started with MTB marathons, then continued with Xterra, then ½ Ironman and Ironman, and then ended with extreme Ironman, such as Jánošík and Winterman. It can be seen from the above that I am a person who likes to set new and higher goals. In the last years, with the addition of children and responsibilities, extreme performance had to go slowly aside, and I began to choose value-added races, where I always looked for a deeper experience in addition to sports performance. In recent years, I have slowly returned to thick tires and straight handlebars, as fairy tale, terrain and mud are where I probably feel best. However, I did not return to the MTB marathons. I found something better. Ultra and bikepacking events became my choice. At these races, I am fascinated by the connection between sports performance,will and the ability to travel many interesting places in a minimum of time. I am convinced that these races can test not only the physical but also the mental characteristics of a person. Athletic performance and long-term physical strain give the competitor the opportunity to use this apparent amount of time to think, or to turn his head away from ordinary worries, or even to meditate.
