Supergrevet is a series of unsupported ultra-distance gravel rides that revive the historic long-distance cycling routes of the late 19th century. Rather than creating new races, the organisers have meticulously reconstructed Europe’s pioneering endurance rides, allowing modern cyclists to follow the same corridors that helped shape the sport more than 130 years ago.
The series features four iconic point-to-point routes across Europe, each inspired by an original long-distance ride: Vienna–Trieste (650 km / 14,000 m), Milan–Munich (750 km / 12,000 m), Basel–Kleve (750 km / 6,000 m), and Vienna–Berlin (800 km / 7,000 m). Every route follows a carefully scouted mix of gravel roads, forest tracks, and quiet secondary roads while staying true to the spirit of the original journeys.
Supergrevet follows a strict unsupported philosophy. There are no support vehicles, feed stations, rankings, or podiums—only a fixed route, a time limit, and complete self-reliance. Riders are responsible for their own navigation, resupply, accommodation, and mechanical repairs, with success measured simply by reaching the finish within the allotted time.
More than a competitive event, Supergrevet is a tribute to the origins of endurance cycling. By combining historic routes with modern bikepacking, it offers a unique opportunity to experience the landscapes, distances, and spirit that defined the earliest days of long-distance riding.
