Our Story, Our Enthusiasm

Gravel riding represents a discovery of new areas and an enjoyable exploration on two wheels. Mostly with friends in beautiful natural surroundings. Gravel riding offers relatively a lot in terms of discovery and it is done in a very simple way.

Every gravel riders has high expectations and we offer gravel and bikepacking events in region of first class gravel roads, which is traversed in all directions, and with its pristine natural environment.

Our idea is humble – to create and deliver delightful cycling events, filled with the most beautiful moments on remote roads in extraordinary natural settings. This is what we do, and we do it wholeheartedly and with great enthusiasm. Gravel riding is about community, it’s about friendship and our mission is to create a personal and intimate gravel  riding and bikepacking experience.

The Human Fish (Proteus)

Some 150 species can be found in the mysterious subterranean world of Postojna Cave, Slovenia, but only one can truly be described as the main one. Call it the Olm, call it the Proteus, call it the Human Fish, call it what you will, but what it is without doubt is one of the most unique creatures on the planet. The proteus has come to great prominence. Charles Darwin famously used them as an example of his theory of the reduction of structures through disuse, citing their blindness as something that had been gotten rid of over time.

Because our journey of experiencing the beautiful gravel roads began right in the home of the Human Fish, the Green Karst, which offers endless possibilities, the idea for the name naturally came to us. Over the years, this cycling story has gradually grown, and we can proudly say it is truly unique.

Unique nature of Alps to Adriatic Region

Our cycling playground is wherever we feel at home. We ride across the most beautiful gravel roads of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Carinthia, and the Carnic Alps, as well as along the stunning gravel networks that stretch across Slovenia.

Istria holds a special place in our hearts, and we feel equally at home riding the Croatian coast all the way to Dubrovnik. We also love cycling through Bosnia and Herzegovina, seamlessly connecting routes that continue onward into Montenegro.

Over the years, this has added up to thousands of kilometers of diverse gravel roads—from wide high-mountain military tracks to stone-lined coastal paths by the sea. We value local connections and feel most at ease wherever nature is beautiful and life slows down just enough to step away from everyday noise.

This is our space to ride—authentic, remote, and deeply connected to the landscapes we love.
