Carpatia Divide - Prologue

      We've signed up to participate back in December of 2018. We've thought very vagely what could we expect, cause none of us participate in ultra-marathon, not to mention bike packing one, but who cares, right ? Minor detail. One of the reasons we've made this decision was love for mountain bike riding. We've got some experience in this matter, we've been through rough marathon's already and mtb trips, so we figured we can do it. At least we didn't ride from yesterday and we know one or two things about bikes and bike riding, so we should manage. Another reason we signed up for this race, was will to push our own limits further and being a part of THE ADVENTURE. That worked brilliantly, cause what can be more beautiful than bike riding through the mountains, without the support from outside world, where all it could help you is your own witt and weather [something you cannot choose, but you can choose how to deal with]. Somewhere along the way it started to be more apparent, that preparation will take much more effort than we anticipated at the beginning. On 14th of August we arrived to Ustroń, we've landed at our quarters and we've started to pack. In the meantime, we've come to pasta party, a little gathering before the start. We finished our packing and went for uneasy sleep right before the start. On 15th we went to the start line and we started race of our lives.
