Alone with your bike and your calves, dive into the Desertus Bikus adventure! Set the tone like the first Paris/Dakar of the 80s!

*Following early triggering of the beacon near the CPs and some riders not passing through the exact coordinates, this year, passage through the **exact coordinates of each CP is mandatory**.
Failure to do so will result in **out-of-classification**.
We’re not here to penalize — we don’t care about that — but we want a **fair challenge** for everyone.

We no longer provide departure location or checkpoint explanations 😉
