Seven Serpents: Illyrian Loop is the third Seven Serpents’ route. Teaming up with Pasol, we showcase a 550km loop from the Albanian town of Shkodër. Start 12th September 2024!
Illyrian Loop is an unsupported bikepacking event of about 550 kilometres that would take place in Albania next September. The route will go through gravel and secondary roads in the most scenic routes of north Albania. It’s a route not for beginners and requires tyres with big sizes, very good gearing and eventually front suspensions. The start will be in Shkodër and the route will be a loop, the clock will never stop and the riders will have to rely only on their strength as in any classic unsupported event.
