What is Seven Serpents?
Seven Serpents is a series of unsupported bikepacking events. It holds the homonymous "Seven Serpents" which is the main event from Ljubljana (Slo) to Trieste (Ita) crossing Croatia and the islands, Quick Bite! which is a reduced version of 7S and Illyrian Loop, a bikepacking event in Albania.
What does "set route" means?
You must follow the track we provide. If at some point the way is blocked by something unexpected (e.g. roadworks, landfalls, trees on the path etc.) you can leave the track but you’ll have to rejoin it as soon as possible.
Can I have more info about the route?
The route is briefly explained in the homepage but we will send you the official GPS file and the roadbook few weeks before the event.
Do I need an insurance?
Yes it's mandatory to have your own insurance.
You must have a valid liability, death, accident and health insurance valid during the event that covers emergency extraction and repatriation insurance.
The organization will not provide any kind of insurance for the event and will not held liable for any damage whatsoever that may occur directly and/or indirectly to you or other parties.
It's easy to find water, food or accomodations?
Seven Serpents' route has different types of locations and environment. It's a well balanced mix where, if you plan your adventure carefully, you'll be able to find anything you need. There will be some "wild" areas but we will give you a detailed roadbook with the rider's manual.
Is it possible to book something before the departure?
No. The events starts on Sunday morning. From that moment you'll be free to book anything you need along the route.
What happen if I get lost?
If you'll follow the GPS we provide you won't surely get lost. Anyway if anything happens you may ask people, find the route on your GPS or on your mobile phone using mapping applications. It's always useful to save an off-line map on your mobile phone!
What if I have mechanical problems?
Try to fix them yourself. Don't forget to bring tools and all the necessary. If it's a major mechanical problem try to find a bicycle shop that can fix it for you.
Can I have the GPS track now?
Sorry, no. The track is already planned but we'll have to do few final recognitions before giving it to you. This is for your safety and to fully enjoy a fantastic route.
How to arrive to the start-line?
Ljubljana is the capital city of Slovenia, it's perfectly connected with all the surrounting states. You can reach it by bus, train or plane. Also sharing a car/van is an option, we will soon setup a Facebook discussion page for you to organise your trip.
Shkoder might feel a bit more complicated but, if you plan in advance, there are multiple options available: Flixbus, 2 airports (Albania and Montenegro), ferries from Italy and car sharing with other participants.

Get the right mood!
We made some great playlists to warm you up!
