Further events are run in a loop. We start and finish at the same place. The aim is to have ' short ' Ultra events, what I am simply calling Bike Packing Adventures. The goal of the events is to bring people together. We gather the night before the start, and we have a communal meal before the adventure starts at dawn. People return to the event HQ at any time, they share stories, eat, discuss ideas, laugh and maybe have a beer.

“We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
