Congratulations! I fell in the same place as you (9min video). I bent the wooden post and got stuck in the barbed wire. The result was 27 stitches and an arm full of scars. You were really lucky!
Wow Michael that sounds bad! At the time I already thought I was lucky cause for some reason after flying over my handlebar I just landed back on my feet 😅. Hope everything is ok now? Grts!
Thanks Carsten! 🙌🏻 We rode it in 11 hours and 45 minutes. Total time from start to finish (with some breaks) was 15 hours. It’s good to start early so you don’t have to rush during the day. Good luck and enjoy! 🚵🏻♂️
Respect!! Ik ken de regio en grote delen van de route. Ik denk dat jullie een groot voordeel halen uit het "samen" rijden. Solo lijkt me dit haast ondoenbaar. Leuk filmpje, mooi op het einde van de fans en familie!
Top video en top prestatie! Ik ben zelf van plan om in augustus te gaan. Enkele vragen heb ik voor jou(jullie); waar hebben jullie overnacht en wat is jullie voorbereiding geweest in aanloop naar de stoneman? Thanks alvast!
Hi Luc! Merci, tof te horen dat je de video leuk vindt. Voor de stoneman silver hebben we overnacht in Bütgenbach en St Vith, telkens bij partners die aangesloten zijn bij de Stoneman organisatie. Je kan via de site van de Arduenna alle accomodaties per locatie bekijken en boeken. Voor de Gold verbleven we in een appartement in het complex "Les terrasses de Malmedy" (geen partner van stoneman). We zijn op fysiek vlak een 5 tal maanden specifiek op de grotere afstand beginnen trainen. Zowel lange duurtrainingen (voor de 176km) alsook klimtrainingen (voor de 4000hm!!). Voor de rest is het ook belangrijk om voldoende en consequent te eten en te drinken. Ik zal proberen de komende dagen nog een tips & tricks video te maken met meer details. Alvast veel succes met de rit! Grts. Manou
Hi Luc en Eric. Moesten jullie de Stoneman nog gaan rijden... in deze video heb ik wat tips & tricks verzameld voor je marathon mtb avontuur: th-cam.com/video/F3rebUSFqqA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Manou, thx for this great video. I‘d love to read how you did prepare! I would like to do the stoneman gold 2024/25 as an end of my knee operations 😂 to show myself that biking is still possible. What would you tell an absolut beginner how to prepare for this ride? Thanks for your answer and keep biking
Hi Marcel! Thanks for watching and glad to hear you liked it! 🙌🏻 I think that’s a wonderful goal you are setting to get active again after your surgery. I’ve written an article on my website about how to prepare for the stoneman. You can read it here gpxadventures.com/tutorials/mountain-biking/8-tips-to-ride-the-stoneman-arduenna-ultra-mtb-marathon/ There is a video as well. Hope this helps!
Hey Manou, I hope you are well. We are attempting the gold next weekend and we hope to finish it in time. I just have a quick question regarding the route. I know you have to reach the checkpoints for the stamps but is it possible to ride alternate routes along the track? Say for example there is a gravel descent (official Stoneman track) or a single track descent, can we ride the single track as well? or are they very strict and check the route through our gpx data? Many thanks for your helpful videos regarding Stoneman, this has helped us as a group prepare! Keep up the good work!
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out and glad to hear my tips were useful for you. To answer your question: no, there are no checks on your gpx data. The only “proof” are the stamps from the checkpoints on your card. However, I would personally just follow the official route because making some small detours along the way can easily end up costing you a lot of extra time in the end. Good luck with your Stoneman Gold adventure!
@@manoumaudgal great tip , it was hard enough as it is. Especially the route between Ouren and Grüfflingen. I was ready to quit...the bakery near the ruins of Burg Reuland saved us with coca cola and ice cold water 🤣 we got the gold after 15hrs of riding 💪🏽

You really have to be careful riding down the narrow ruts in the grass. I also nearly crashed.
Congrats!!! I‘ll try the gold ride in the beginning of august. How long was your ride? Wha‘s the pure riding time?

@Eric Van Genechten Ja, wil het in 1 dag gaan doen!

@Eric Van Genechten Zeker doen Eric! 2 dagen is zeker en vast ook een ferme challenge en je kan toch wat meer van de omgeving genieten!
@@manoumaudgal Bedankt voor de respons!

@@manoumaudgal I figured as much 😅 we will stick to the route. But if the single track descent looks tempting, we can't promise we won't take it 🤣
