12th Meler Challenge: The witches’ path

Legend has it, in 1610, Zugarramurdi was inhabited by witches. According to another legend, three of our colleagues made history in Morocco. Now the time has come to establish a new legend.

Welcome to the 12th Meler Challenge

On Saturday 2nd June,o a group of fearless souls will cycle the 95km between Arre and Zugarramurdi (Navarre), crossing the Belate and Otsondo mountain passes, while riding almost 15km on French soil.

31 participants, all employees at Focke Meler, are already starting to feel the excitement of taking part in this cycling event, where sport combines with a social spirit and comradeship. This is not just about cycling, but also about creating a good atmosphere and the desire to complete the challenge.

This Meler initiative arose as an opportunity to share the effort, enjoyment and passion for sport as a team, values shared by both Focke Meler and its employees.  In fact, there have been many days in which our colleagues have put on their jerseys after work to train together, with the desire and enthusiasm to overcome this test. In addition, they will have the incentive of participating with their teammates Carlos Izquieta, Iñaki Marsal and Sergio López-Vailo, three of the titans who overcame the tough and mythical Titan Desert.

However, this event is not just limited to cyclists. Several Focke Meler employees will accompany the participants of the challenge, providing physical and moral support, and waiting for them at the finish line. This is a special day for everyone to have fun, share a laugh, tell stories, and to wonder when the next Challenge will be.

Come on team! This challenge is yours! And don’t get scared by the witches of Zugarramurdi!
