Social Ride
FLINTA* Overnighter with gravELLE
gravELLE Club – a community of women focused primarily on group rides, adventures on and off the bike, and sharing experiences – takes you on a bikepacking overnight trip that’s also suitable for bikepacking beginners. Powered by komoot.
On Saturday at 4.30 pm, we’ll set off from Zurich towards Hüttnersee (mainly off-road, approx. 30 km with approx. 500 metres of elevation gain), where we’ll make ourselves comfortable at a Nomady campsite and spend the night in tents (toilets and showers are of course available, as is a small covered communal area). Shortly before reaching our destination, there’s an opportunity to pop into a supermarket or a petrol station shop to stock up on food for dinner and breakfast on Sunday. On Sunday, we’ll take a detour back to Zurich (again mainly off-road, approx. 25–35 km with approx. 550–750 metres of elevation gain), where we should arrive at the Brunau site by 14:00 at the latest. Everyone will be waited for on the ride; it’s not about speed, competition or rankings, but about the community and being together.

Guide(s): Sara - The brains behind the gravELLE club
Sara loves exploring destinations near and far, familiar and unknown, preferably by bike. She doesn’t mind carrying everything she needs for the journey: She has discovered that it’s actually quite good to stick to the bare essentials and that you don’t really need that much when you’re out and about. You can also find her tour reports and routes on her komoot profile. She loves sharing her knowledge, which is why she organises gravel rides and bikepacking adventures with the gravELLE club for FLINTA* people and, from time to time, for mixed groups (+FRIENDS). Her aim is to create a space for riders who, on the one hand, don’t yet have much experience with gravel and bikepacking, and, on the other hand, for riders who may already be very experienced but simply want to ride with women from time to time.
