The basic idea

SALT is an unsupported bikepacking event through beautiful landscapes and stunning villages.
GPX data will be provided, scouted for the best trails for gravel bikes and MTB.
It is a self-supported event, so no assistance from outside is allowed or provided by the organization.
You have to carry your luggage and plan food supply and overnight stays by your own.
The trail can be left wherever you want but has to be re-entered at the same spot.
There is (almost) no time limit, you can decide how long you go and when you will cross the finishing line.

Get out of your comfort zone

Participating in such an event can bring you out of your normal comfort zone: there are a lot of kilometers to be done and many meters to cycle up and down while facing different weather conditions. It could still be hot but everyone who knows Austria knows that rain and in worst case also snow fall on the highest passes could be possible.
So be prepared for this!
But leaving your comfort zone will also bring you a big reward out of your daily routine. From the first hour onward, you will be surrounded by nature and your own rhythm.

Women on trail

Our interest is to motivate more women to start in such an event.
We know so many women in the cycling world but participating in an event is still more of a man’s world.
But women are strong and should believe in their performance and strength.
Maybe women do a trail in a different way, with less focus on time and competition, and with more of a sense of team building and socializing.
And that is exactly what the SALT&LAKE Trail should be.
