La Grande Bifurkade

La Grande Bifurkade invites cyclists to embrace adventure, freedom, and self-discovery as they embark on an ultra-distance gravel bikepacking journey through the heart of Alsace. Set for August 15, 2026, this inaugural event begins in the picturesque Munster Valley, offering a unique blend of scenic beauty and challenging terrain.
Participants can choose between two routes: a more manageable 300 km circuit or an epic 600 km loop, both designed to be completed at their own pace. The essence of bikepacking is central here—self-sufficiency, meticulous effort management, and the joy of exploration define this experience. There are no strict time limits; instead, riders must adhere to a suggested route and reach the finish line by late on August 17.
The journey weaves through gravel paths, showcasing diverse landscapes ranging from rolling hills to serene valleys, providing ample opportunities for breathtaking views and memorable moments under the stars. This event caters equally to curious adventurers seeking an authentic experience as it does to ultra-distance enthusiasts craving a rigorous yet human-centered challenge.
La Grande Bifurkade is more than just a race; it's a personal journey that pushes boundaries while fostering connections with nature and fellow cyclists, making for a truly unforgettable adventure.
