In the competition, things couldn’t be closer.

Weary for sure, but content after a full day of experiences – and surprisingly still with energy enough for a spirited dinner and celebration of the day’s competition. So, finally, after 10 hours riding, and after 6pm in the evening, with the sun setting over the Adriatic, the riders reached base camp. These offered an almost smooth off-road ride, especially where the pine needles carpeted the track, and were much welcomed after six days riding rocks! However, maybe of equal interest to the riders were the sand tracks that ran through the park, between the various lagoons and then into the adjoining pine forest. On this occasion, the riders got to see the magnificent pelicans that inhabit the shallow waters, although flamingoes are also said to be found here. Contained by a long strip of sand, the lagoon – part of a larger national park – is unique in its ecology. Shortly before reaching the base camp the route took them through the 42 sq.km Karavasta Lagoon, one of the largest saltwater lagoons on the Mediterranean. The GS riders had one last treat in store today. All of it made tougher as the temperature soared and the humidity stifled. While now out of the Pindus mountains, there was still no shortage of hill country and ancient routes to ride, some rocky, some sandy and grassed, and some rock paved, again dating back to the Roman Empire and probably earlier. Herculean efforts, for sure.įrom here began the long ride back to base camp. For the GS Trophy this was appropriately enough the setting for a form of tug of war – where GS Trophy teams had to run the length of the stadium then pull, with a rope, an INEOS Grenadier back to the start line! Weighing 3.5 tonnes this was tough enough a challenge for the male teams, even tougher for the females, yet amazingly managed by all. Created from carved rock slabs, this is a stadium where the ancient Greeks, and later Romans, enjoyed various forms of athletics.

And what a location, high up in the hills, Amantia’s Stadium dates back to the third century BC. In all, a tricky test of teamwork and one that led to some crazy moments as well as some solid executions.įrom here, the riders took to a mix of roads and trails to the lunch stop – and setting for the second special test. The instructing teammates meanwhile have to keep riding, not putting their feet down, while they instruct. In this test, one rider is effectively blindfolded, by wearing blacked-out goggles, and is then guided by their teammate(s) around a course of cones by way of instructions through their BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide sets. Half an hour into the ride they came to a small plateau where their first special test awaited: the BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Com U1 Challenge. It was a long ride back, 250km in total with only 100km on the road, and in sweltering 35º heat and high humidity it was certainly a case of riding the hard yards.Īfter a night on the beach at Himare, the GS riders were straight back onto the mountain trails this morning, riding the now familiar rocky mountain tracks, skittering around on the loose stone, avoiding the washouts, searching for the safe line up and down the slopes. Kavaje, Albania. The BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2022 has returned to its base camp here on the coast of the Adriatic at Kavaje. Tests: SP1: BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Com U1 Challenge, Terrain types: Tarmac 100km, mountain trails 120km, sand 30km
