Nordic Trailblazer Jonas Orset Takes on The Traka 360

Jonas Orset, a renowned gravel cyclist and Nordic trailblazer, has set his sights on one of the most grueling events of the spring season: The Traka 360. Known for its stunning yet punishing terrain around Girona, Spain, this 360-kilometer gravel race is a true test of endurance, grit, and passion. Scheduled for May 2nd, it marks a significant milestone for Jonas as he gears up for the longest gravel race of his career.

Reflecting on his journey, Jonas shares, “Last year, I tackled the 200+100k, but this year I’m taking it up a notch. Dreaming about this challenge fuels my motivation during those long hours on the trainer and in the gym. It’s a powerful reminder of why I ride.”

The hilly terrain of Girona is not for the faint-hearted. Known as a cycling haven, it offers breathtaking views paired with rugged climbs and technical descents. For Jonas, it’s not just about crossing the finish line but embracing the process—the preparation, the mental fortitude, and the thrill of the ride.
