Latest update
Latest updates from Lost Ride.
We have adjusted the estimated ascent for Lost Ride 2026 down to just 15,000 m. The previous number looked a bit too wild and apparently scared quite a few riders before they even had the chance to panic about the terrain itself.
So here is a fresh teaser and a friendlier number. The route will still be proper Lost Ride, just without the need to open with twenty thousand metres in every conversation.
Last weekend we were out checking the route and cutting anything that felt like pointless punishment. In the photo it looks like a chill little path by a pond, almost something for a Sunday walk, but don’t let that fool you.
There will be plenty of flow, but also some proper rough MTB bits. We tried to keep it mostly rideable both up and down, with only a few short bits where you will have to get off. And yes, you will pass this pond in the dark, so here is the tame daylight version before the night gets its turn.
We are rebuilding the Lost Ride archive so the history of the race is easier to explore.
The last five years are already online, and we will keep adding older editions.
The start is getting close and, even if things have seemed quiet from the outside, preparations are in full swing.

Nobody knows where this year’s Lost Ride route will go yet. What we can already confirm is that it will pass ancient castles and forest tracks that many riders have never ridden.
We are working on the route right now, and over the coming weeks we will check the key sections in real conditions to make sure the experience is as good as possible. This is the first year with a new organising team, but everything looks promising and our goal is clear: to keep Lost Ride a race unlike anything else.
Instructions for paying the start package will be sent by email soon and will also be published here on the website.
