Sri Lanka 2024 is revealed in video with the official presentation by Axel Carion and our partner Sri Lankan Airlines.

In 2024, the pearl of the Indian Ocean that we explored during course reconnaissance in 2022 becomes an official stage of the world series of ultradistance races. With its tropical climate, its delicious and non-technical trails, Sri Lanka is a gem to discover by bike and in particular by gravel.

The warm welcome of the Sri Lankans, the Indian-influenced gastronomy and the country’s magnificent Buddhist sites will soon no longer hold any secrets for the BikingWomen and BikingMen who will take up the challenge.

With around 20% trails and 80% secondary roads, the immersion promises to be spectacular because few adventurers have been able to explore the track on which we worked on gravel.

The Sri Lankan Airlines company is a partner of the event to facilitate access by bicycle to the island.

Discover in detail the presentation of the event with the video available on our YouTube channel.

The 2024 BikingMan calendar continues to be revealed with a live presentation of the 2024 routes.

In 2024, the BikingMan series returns to its origins, to its passion for adventure and exploration by taking you internationally with the return of the Taiwan event, made legendary by the rich documentary of L’Equipe TV, and for a new event with an exotic atmosphere on the wonderful playground that is Sri Lanka, with an event combining gravel and accessible road, ideal entry point to the BikingMan series and an idyllic escape from the winter gloom.

2024 will also be the year of 555, our new gravel format, with new editions in Vercors and in the Alpes-Maritimes and a new event in Brazil, in the province of Santa Catarina, with enchanting gravel and sumptuous landscapes.

Of course, the historic courses will not be neglected, quite the contrary, since the AURA, Alpes-Maritimes (ex-France) and events >Corsica will offer completely revised routes to offer you ever more memorable experiences and explorations.

In this Live video presentation of the 2024 routes (make sure to TURN ON auto-subtitles with YouTube), Axel, accompanied by Cédric and Jérôme from Radio Cyclo, will detail the changes and the specificities of these new tracks and of this new season once again rich in surprises.[/ vc_column_text]

After 2 years spent in the Alps conquering the most legendary passes in the history of the Tour de France and contemplating the most beautiful peaks of the French mountains, it was time to search a new location for the BikingMan X ! The “X” is the summit of our series, the crown jewel for every ultra cyclist willing to tackle a special event with ingredients you won’t find on other destinations. It is far from being just “the toughest” or the “longest”, this is simply meant to be one of the best ultracycling experience of the BikingMan series.

In 2023, our choice fell on Morocco, a country full of mysteries where Axel bike toured 9 years ago riding across the Atlas Mountains. We have been working with the greatest care on the course to combine physical challenge and a discovery of this spectacular country full of captivating atmospheres. Morocco also hides some of the greatest gravel and secondary roads with an impressive variety of landscapes.

As you probably know with all BikingMan X events, the course will remain secret until the very last minutes before the start, only unveiled during the race briefing, so you discover the places as you ride and get the deepest experience as possible.

But even though we want to keep the race course secret, we couldn’t wait to share with you those gorgeous landscapes we have crossed when doing the reconnaissance of the route a few weeks ago. That’s why Cedric, our beloved filmmaker, has put all his heart into preparing this short teaser (because we shouldn’t show too much anyway) of the adventure that awaits you in Morocco. Enjoy!

And to make this BikingMan X 2023 a unique moment, we’ve given it the place it deserves. The X in Morocco will therefore take place in October to conclude in style a 2023 season that we hope will be just as grandiose.

If you too have been charmed by the beauty of these images, there are still a few places left to join us in Marrakech and discover this route which will undoubtedly takes your breathe away.

It has always been important to us that BikingMan be open to as many people as possible. It is with the greatest pleasure that we will share with you tonight at 8pm the replay of the TV set of Sport in France where we had the chance to discuss the subject of parasports and ultracycling.
We are indeed proud to have been able to welcome on several occasions to our events athletes representing handisport such as Stéphane Bahier and Tony Boisblet. They shared during Maxime Gras’ show about their practice of ultradistance cycling.

Stéphane, a one-legged Paralympic athlete, had discovered the BikingMan by the Portugal event before moving on to the BikingMan France, two events which he successfully completed. Tony took part in the 2022 edition of BikingMan France in tandem with his friend Philippe. Together, they completed their adventure in less than 120 hours.

Congratulations to these athletes who are great sources of inspiration through their determination and strength of character.

Visit our Youtube channel (or this article) tonight at 8pm to watch the replay of the video.

]]> Today, we are sharing another feedback on the 2022 edition of the BikingMan AURA, which nicely complements the experiences of Rémi and Patrick. This time, Damien dit La Tortue, gone in pair with his son, Pierre-Louis dit Pilou, tells us about his adventure in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, facing in particular the heat and drought of this month of August, an opponent of size which will not have spared them throughout the course, regularly disturbing the essential quest for water.
But Damien’s good humor and energy seem to have never been undermined and transpire throughout his detailed story. Not even the double-digit percentages faced in the ascent of the Grand Colombier and the wear of the bicycle chocks could slow down this beautiful duo participating in their first ultra without assistance and who will have been able to complete their challenge in barely more than 90 hours. A performance perhaps more within their reach than rearranging the loading of their Citroen C3 after the race?

So don’t waste a moment and immerse yourself in the Turtle’s adventure to find out what their biggest challenge in AURA has been, to read here:
