BAJALANDRAID – A unique offroad experience for every rider!
ROCK THE PEAKS OF PORTUGAL
BAJALANDRAID is an exclusive annual event that brings together offroad riders from all walks of life and every corner of the world for a 5-day raid through Northern Portugal.
Never been offroad through the North of Portugal? Then you’re in for a treat! If you have, then you know what we’re talking about… ☺As you pioneer through forests and swing over mountain passes it’s just you, your machine and nature. Have fun and explore your limits, enjoy the euphoria at the top and the feeling of speed on your way back down. We’ve created a wonderful experience that’s 99% offroad so you can focus on what really counts: ride hard, laugh hard and live life to the fullest.
So bring your friends, your tent, mobile home, truck and ANY vehicle you want and settle down for the biggest off-road raid you’ll ever see in Portugal.
Welcome to BAJALANDRAID at Cepo Verde, Braganca.
BOOK YOUR SPOT NOW!
OFFROADING CAPITAL
Braganca is a city in the North of Portugal and in the middle of nowhere. It’s nestled in a garden of mountains, spotted by remote villages and deep forests that no one travels through. You’ll spend your time with friends in an offroad-friendly, peaceful environment where you can drive without having to worry about anything, except having the time of your life. And since offroading is all about exploring the wilderness, we dug up some tracks that cross rivers, up some challenging rocks, down the rubble, past ancient stone villages and ruined bridges. All among the lush green landscape. Expect a gentle, blue April sky with temperatures averaging between 12 and 21°C.
SHARE EXPERIENCES IN THE BIVOUAC
We break ground on a never-before seen BIVAK. This campsite is the main meeting place where everyone gathers before and after the daily adventures. It’s set up to be as cosy as possible with daily delicious meals, all the basic amenities and much more. The BAJALANDRAID lounge bar is open all evening (until 23:00) so you can enjoy drinks, music and atmosphere when you get back from the trails. Hang out with friends from around the world by the fire pits and watch the daily fresh footage we broadcast on the big screen. So no need to humble brag about that technical passage, chances are everyone will be able to see what you were up to that day.
NAVIGATING THE TRAILS
The tracks are 99% offroad, designed and tested by us, and feature the necessary refueling and lunch stops. And don’t worry if you get a bit hungry in between, we’ll give you your daily snack pack when you leave the campsite. Getting lost should be the least of your worries, so we’ll give you the GPX-files for this 5-day event upon arrival at our BIVAK. No navigation system? Also no problem. You can use your tablet, smartphone. Or you can rent one of our navigation systems on a daily basis. We use the Tripy 2, a hard-wearing and easy to use (even with gloves on) system that makes finding your way a breeze. Roadbook driving is also possible. Either way, we bring it all!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
● 5 full days of magnificent offroad riding on high-quality custom tracks about 180km in length. These tracks are mapped and tested and NOT flat! ☺ Plenty for anyone to enjoy, but adventure bikes get their own special tracks for an added challenge.
● 6 sleepovers in the BIVAK, with all the necessary on-site facilities and enough pace to build your own cosy spot and safely park your vehicles and gear.
● 7 buffet breakfasts (served from 6 to 9 AM) and 6 dinners served at the BIVAK
● Daily lunch on the road (or off) and a snack pack
● BIVAK with campfire, bar and music from noon until 23:00

● Medical care by our team doctor. Our own personal doctor is on stand-by to help whenever and wherever.
● Event photo and film material for bragging rights back home.
● A limited edition BAJALANDRAID 2023 T-shirt. We know, this is the REAL selling point… ☺
