Girls can (Ultra Cycle) too!

What does it mean to take on a 1,350km ultra cycling challenge through deserts, mountains, and empty roads? For Lena and Marta, it means testing their limits, embracing uncertainty, and showing the world that women belong — and thrive — in the toughest corners of adventure sports.

These two fearless riders are about to start the Desertus Bikus, a self-supported ultra cycling race across Spain. It’s not just about endurance or speed — it’s about resilience, navigation, smart decision-making, and being prepared for anything the road throws at them. And they’re doing it as a team. As women. As trailblazers.

I had the privilege of sitting down with them before the race to talk about preparation, fears, mindset, and the meaning behind riding far and free. This teaser is just a glimpse — a snapshot of the calm before the storm. The full interview will be shared after they cross the finish line, when the dust settles and their story unfolds in full.

Girls can (Ultra Cycle) too! is more than a title. It’s a reminder that strength doesn’t have a gender, and that women around the world are redefining what it means to be an athlete, an adventurer, and a force of nature.

Stay tuned. The journey has just begun.
