The #festive500 wasn’t just about the kilometers—it was a rollercoaster of mud, wind, and resilience. From unexpected rest days to epic battles against the elements, every ride tested our limits. Jana pushed through, my knee gave up, but together, we proved that the real victory is in showing up.

Swapping holiday feasts for frosty miles, we’re taking on our first Festive 500. Armed with gravel bikes, endless snacks, and a questionable sense of winter adventure, we’re layering up and rolling out—because nothing says festive like frozen toes and a little Type 2 fun.
