Steppenwolf on Instagram: "Ultratalks No. 1: HIGHLAND TRAIL 550 🌳 🔜 17.06. - 19:00 🏠 Berlin - Steppenwolf HQ (close to Görli) We’re excited to launch a new series of talks dedicated to the world of ultra cycling, hosted in our lil’ HQ in Berlin. 🥳 There are so many inspiring stories within our community. Stories from friends, fellow riders, and adventurers that deserve to be heard. Some sessions will dive deep into races, sharing stories, insights, and lessons from the trail. Others will focus on specific topics. These are the conversations we love ourselves, and we’re excited to create a space where we can share them with you. 💛 We’re kicking things off with a talk about the @highlandtrail: one of the toughest bikepacking races out there. 😮‍💨 It’s a route that challenges with technical terrain, unpredictable weather and extended periods of hike-a-bikes. With very limited entry spots, route director @ht550alan aims for gender parity, achieving a 50/50 gender split this year. 💥 It’s a race that reveals the essence of ultracycling. With highly challenging terrain and unpredictable weather, things are very likely to break or go wrong, so it comes down to problem solving skills and resilience. It’s an adventure in its purest form. Britt Shalagan (9th woman 2026) and Melina Boening (2nd woman 2025) share their individual race experiences, reflect on long days in the beautiful Scottish highlands, talk about almost unbearable weather conditions and how inspiring it is to be the start line when half of the people are FLINTA*. 🤝 Come by on Wednesday, 17.06.2026 Steppenwolf HQ Berlin Kreuzberg, near Görli (exact location via pm) the talk will be in English"
