🌊 Slibinai (The Dracos) – not an ordinary Baltic beach expedition.
The survival trip in the vicious conditions on the very first weekend of the year.
Winter, wind, blizzard, snow, sand, sea washing the dunes – all these elements of nature attempt to break Dracos wills and souls.
Only a small group of Dracos manages to carry on the full route and finish.
From 2024 Slibinai manoeuvres its HQ to the new location – most beautiful piece land on Lithuania – small town Nida in Curonian Spit. Slibinai is going to be full weekend experience hosted in Skalva Hotel.
🔁 ROUTES. These are your options:
🐲🐲 SLIBINAI 100 – beach path starts from the resort Nida to the South Pier of Klaipėda Port, and back [100 km].
🐲 MINI-SLIBINAI 60 – takes a shorter beach route Nida – Juodkrantė – Nida with 60 km to go. Still a hefty challenge.
🦎 SLIBINĖLIAI – about 70 km route on beautiful Neringa forests paths. For bikes with narrower tyres (a.k.a. gravel).
Even the toughest riders are prone to look deep into the corners of their soul during Slibinai trip.
