People come to Slovenia for many reasons, some more unusual than others, and “en route to Mongolia” has to be one of the more interesting. Even more so when done on the back of a bicycle and with the aim of collecting good news about tackling the climate crisis on the way.

The “New Story Ride”, an epic bike-packing adventure that started in Vienna on 24th November 2019 and is heading towards Mongolia over the next two years. The New Story Ride was inspired by Rosie Watson, who set off from the UK in August this year on the New Story Run.

Being used on this epic journey is the Ridgeback 603 GS Mountain which is a sturdy steel-framed mountain bike, with 26inch wheels.
