Pedalnorth is written and managed by cycling writers and athletes around the globe, bringing you the very best routes and unbiased information. Our team work within the global cycling community, alongside their role at Pedalnorth simply to give something back, by sharing their own life-cycle with you.
We’ll be expanding routes all over the globe this year, with new road cycling routes from Nadezhda and Katya in Florida, Mary Wilke in Europe, and gravel bike and road cycling routes in Colorado and the USA from Hannah. After the tragedies that many will have experienced during the pandemic, we want to bring you more ideas for bikecation vacations too, and we’ll be writing more about places to visit and ride, with Stephan taking a lead on some classics in Europe to provide a personal challenge. Chris is busy developing our new Youtube channel, so take a look at the Pedalnorth videos as we grow our content videos.
Finally, Robert and Larisa will be off to Verona in the summer too, riding the Alé Eddy Merckx event. There’s so much happening at Pedalnorth during 2022, so join us in turning the wheels forward!
