EPIC RIDES arrives in Crikvenica for the first time and guarantees an unforgettable cycling experience

The EPIC RIDES Croatia project, which has been showcasing the most beautiful parts of Croatia since 2021 and bringing them closer to all cycling enthusiasts—not only those who have “dedicated their lives” to cycling, but also those who see the bicycle as a great companion for a recreational escape into nature—will, in its 6th season and after 35 successfully held editions across Croatia, arrive in Crikvenica for the first time.

After Istria and Dalmatia, the third edition of this season brings a completely new cycling story—Crikvenica and its vibrant hinterland, where mountain air blends with the sea, where every turn reveals incredible views, and where hidden trails and small villages await. All of this guarantees an outstanding cycling experience.

EPIC RIDES CRIKVENICA will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026.

The route starts in Crikvenica and continues along roads and paths you simply must not miss, from the peaceful Dubračina to a steep climb carved into the rock. Then comes a descent towards Bribir, a panoramic gravel section above Selce, and a return to Crikvenica—a well-known and beloved seaside destination.

EPIC RIDES CRIKVENICA is held with the support of the Crikvenica Tourist Board, which—along with the general sponsor Pan and long-time partners and sponsors of numerous cycling events such as Husqvarna, Raymon, Twist ISO, NamedSport, and Greenseeker—has recognized the potential of this project that connects natural beauty with cycling enthusiasts.

Although Adria Bike is widely known as an organizer of cycling races, those represent only a small part of the cycling experience they offer. EPIC RIDES are not races, but organized cycling gatherings at top cycling locations intended for all age groups, regardless of fitness level.

Scenic routes without technically demanding sections offer an opportunity to explore hidden natural beauty in a more relaxed cycling setting, while still enjoying full cycling support. Those who prefer an easier ride or are in lower physical condition can always rent an e-bike, which makes every route easier.

In 2026, cycling enthusiasts can look forward to the highest number of EPIC RIDES events in a single season, including new destinations, favorite locations that return year after year, and even a few surprises beyond Croatia’s borders. Get ready for stunning natural landscapes and unforgettable moments on two wheels—because there are still many magical locations waiting to be explored by bike!
