We are happy to announce Carradice, the iconic British manufacturer of handmade cycling luggage, as event luggage sponsor. The co-operation brings together two pioneers of adventure cycling. Carradice has a heritage of crafting durable and practical cycling bags since 1932. Dirt Dash, the event series created by renowned world tourer, filmmaker, and author Markus Stitz, fits well with this.
Designed to withstand the toughest conditions
Our events in Alyth, Whitby and Dunoon have a unique blend of camaraderie, self-sufficiency, and off-road exploration. Moreover they attract riders seeking an unforgettable two-day bikepacking experience. As the official luggage sponsor, Carradice is launching a new range of bike bags designed to withstand the toughest conditions. Carradice bags suit the demands of Dirt Dash adventures really well.

“We are thrilled to partner up with Markus and Dirt Dash. Markus has a passion for adventure cycling and storytelling. This aligns perfectly with our ethos of equipping riders with reliable gear for their journeys and adventures. Dirt Dash embodies the spirit of adventure exploration and fun. We are excited to be part of these inspiring events.”
