The Trans Euro Trail or TET is an adventure motorcycle route through Europe consisting of approximately 100,000 kilometres (62,000 mi) of GPX tracks. The Trail contains all kinds of unpaved trails which are officially allowed according to the local laws and regulations of the relevant countries.

Organisation

The TET was founded by John Ross and has been available since 2017.[1][2]

So-called "Linesmen"[3] keep the GPX tracks in their countries up to date with the assistance of everyone that rides the Trail and of the communities which the trail passes through.
