Unsupported race concept also in Slovenia. Dust Lust from team Pici Bici. And official movie from OSM Films.
In 2015 the Pici Bici team travelled to Italy to ride one of the biggest bikepacking events in the world – the Tuscany trail. They fell in love with the simplicity of the race, the beautiful places that they traveled through and the camaraderie of the racers. It became clear that something similar had to be done back home.
Slovenia has the perfect playground for off road cycling. Gravel roads, forest roads, small local asphalt roads… you name it. They wanted to show some of these roads to a broader public, and an unsupported gravel race seemed like the perfect way to do it.
The Dust Lust is a bicycle race through the outskirts of our capital city. The roads are mostly gravel and dirt, some are paved, but all of them remote. The race is physically challenging, goes through beautiful places, and is suitable for variations of road bikes as well as mountain bikes. The racers have to navigate through the race by themselves, they can ride in groups if they want to, but they must be self-reliant, meaning; if anything goes wrong you might as well figure it out on your own. By the end of the day, it’s not the race that matters. What you end up with is the feeling of achievement an unforgettable adventure in the memory book.
