FRANCE

- Five friends ride the 275 km Stone King Rally route self-supported on heavily loaded enduro bikes across the Western Alps to the Mediterranean.  
- Weight, weather, breakdowns and crashes make the 13 days tough, but riding technique, packing routine and experiences on challenging trails grow with them.  
- The Stone King Rally offers 21,000 metres of descent (S2-S4), can be ridden via GPX, with or without a shuttle, even with an e-MTB and additional battery.
