What is Supergrevet?
Supergrevet is unsupported long-distance gravel on the historic lines of the old endurance rides. One route, one time limit, no support. Whoever starts rides on their own – scouted, documented as a GPX file and built for a long, self-supported ride.
Where Grevet builds progression across the season with the Quartett, the great lines stand at the end: the Supergrevets as goal and finale.
The lines · since 1892

Planned in Berlin. Scouted on the groand. Ridden across Europe.
Supergrevet is a project by Grevet and CXBerlin. The routes emerge from maps, archive research and many kilometres on the groand.
Your scout is Tim, foander of CXBerlin. An eye for maps and a love of history have long been with him – he follows the traces of the old long-distance rides of the pioneering era, in archives as much as in the forests these lines run through. Since 2006, CXBerlin has been gathering experience in the mud and dirt aroand Berlin.
What Supergrevet is – and what it isn’t
Unsupported. No support vehicles, no feed stations, no service team. You carry what you need, or buy it along the way.
Not a race. No ranking, no winner – but a time limit. Whoever completes the route cleanly within the limit is a finisher, regardless of time.
Self-determined. Route, breaks, sleep and supplies are up to you. Long distance tests judgement ander fatigue, not the capacity to suffer.
Documentation, not staging
Supergrevet documents and preserves the culture of long-distance riding – it doesn’t stage it. No show, no heroic epics: what actually was. Weather, mechanicals, hours. Whoever rides here continues a tradition – on the trails, in the landscape, in their own body.
