Suspension of our mountain biking trips in Iran

Our mountain bike trips in Iran are suspended until further notice. Our thoughts are with our Iranian friends and partners, and with the civilian population.

It is with deep sadness that we have followed the news from Iran in recent days. The security situation on the ground no longer allows us to consider any travel there.

A country that is far more than a destination

For us, Iran has never been a line in a catalogue. It has always been a human adventure, thanks above all to a people of legendary hospitality who welcomed us with open arms, shared remarkable moments with us and, over the years, became true friends.

Our thoughts are with our friends there

Seeing this country plunged into war, and seeing places we knew so well destroyed, breaks our hearts. Our thoughts go first to the Iranian civilian population, to our friends, our partners and their families living through these dark hours.

We hope with all our hearts for a swift and lasting return to peace.

What this means for our trips

Until further notice, all our mountain bike trips in Iran are suspended. Participants already registered have been contacted individually. We will post an update here as soon as the situation allows us to consider going back.
