Weronika Szalas | Riding without a plan

MASON rider Weronika Szalas never stops. When she's not racing her MASON ISO, she is riding it – either to her next race or in search of new locations, landscapes and challenges.

After her efforts in this year's new The Accursed Race, we asked Weronika "What's next?" and she told us she would "let the journey unfold itself".

And that's exactly what Weronika did. We've just received a fresh batch of photos from her adventures, and it's great to see how far Weronika and her Mason InSearchOf are taking each other.

It's been almost 4 months living on my bike again! I set off at the end of April to ride The Accursed Race with no plan for what was next. This lack of plan resulted in riding through Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Türkiye.

The road has never been neither direct nor flat - I’ve made sure that when there was a mountain I rode through it. Many passes, off road tracks, camping nights under the stars, river swims, stunning views and heartwarming interactions with locals.

A month into my travels, Tomasz Milewski joined me, with a shared idea to find more mountains along the way. A couple of weeks ago we flew from Istanbul to Tbilisi, Georgia to explore the Caucasus range with an idea to cycle to Armenia afterwards. The road has been signposted by gut feeling which hasn't disappointed so far. Feeling in one with nature and free. I'm home.

Weronika Szalas rides a MASON InSearchOf – our steel ultimate adventure bike, built for the toughest, farthest, most remote challenges. The ISO is designed to take a choice of 29" or 650B wheels, has suspension-fork-ready geometry and will accommodate enough luggage for the biggest adventures.
