Deiadar 2019

DEIADAR is a compound word in Basque language made up from the words DEI-ADAR. "DEI" means "call", and "ADAR" stands for "horn". Therefore, DEIADAR is "horn call".

Versatility, freedom and nature. Probably these three words are the best to define the concept of gravel. Originated in the United States, this cycling modality has reached vigorously our country and all Europe, becoming one of the most important current trends in the world of cycling.

Gravel must be considered the cycling adaptation to modern times, in the form of an interesting mix between road cycling and mountain biking. It allows us to squeeze the charm of both disciplines and to enjoy cycling without any limit or restriction derived from the kind of bicycle we use.

In gravel one no longer has to decide between track and road, asphalt or dirt paths. This discipline allows you to enjoy a more versatile and dynamic way of cycling.

Our starting points are the hills and tracks in Bizkaia, right in the middle of an impressive landscape which offers us a unique scenario to practice this sport. Furthermore, the hardness of the race, due to the large slope riders have to cover, turns it into a challenge and an attraction for the contestants. The event also relies on the concept of semi-self-sufficiency.

DEIADAR GRAVEL is a true celebration around the bicycle and the mountain. During the previous week, the event includes a large amount of related activities, such as conferences, videos of athletes as well as a popular meal.
