APIDURA

The has a habit of keeping riders on their toes - and the 2026 edition looks set to be no different. Snow on the high passes, rain rolling in, long days that feel even longer once you're deep into the mountains. It's a race that asks for everything, and then asks for a little bit more.

We've been lucky enough to witness many great moments in the race's history, from taking on the first edition on a drop bar gravel bike, to 's breakthrough win and 's mountain race triple crown last year.

To everyone lining up in Morocco this week, ride well and good luck. The Atlas Mountains tend to linger long after the riding is done.

Getting into something rarely begins with certainty. More often, it starts with a question - a feeling that there might be more to explore if you just follow the pull.

The Get Into journals explore those early moments: the curiosity that nudges you forward, the quiet commitments made along the way, and the small decisions that gradually shape a life on the bike. They’re stories of starting points rather than finish lines.

Whether you’re considering your first ultra, planning a first bikepacking trip, or simply wondering what’s possible beyond your usual routes, Get Into is an invitation to look closer - and further ahead.
