Alicante in Spain is renowned the world over, as a holiday hotspot. However, are you aware how great the road cycling is in this majestic Spanish resort? It’s nestled amongst coastal mountains, with exceptional roads; which is why I took myself on a cycling trip, recently.
When I first rolled into Gstaad, I was running on three hours of sleep, a stiff neck from a 10-hour drive, and nerves from a last-minute wheel change on my bike. Glamorous? Not exactly. But if there’s one thing women in cycling know how to do — it’s show up, no matter what.
It was time to join the biggest cycling festival for women in the world – in the magnificent mountains of Gstaad!
Nadezhda has been travelling and cycling around Europe ths summer, and has some great routes and hotel suggestions for you. Here’s a few ideas for a long weekend in the Dolomites on 2-wheels.
This year, I had the unforgettable experience of participating in the 36th edition of Granfondo La Fausto Coppi in Cuneo, Italy — a legendary race that truly tests your limits and rewards you with breathtaking beauty, world-class organization, and the most passionate cycling atmosphere I’ve ever witnessed.
was in Bormio two years ago, back in September, and I left knowing that I’d have to return. There’s something about these mountains that stays with you — the roads, the atmosphere, the sheer beauty of it all. Coming back in 2025, felt like coming home for me, but this time I wanted to experience the Stelvio in a new way.
Cycling the Passo Giau is a dream that many cyclists have. We recently rode this legendary cycling pass in the Dolomites, so that we could share our knowledge and experience with you. Now, it’s your turn to ride one of the best cycling passes in Italy!
This is a road cycling route par excellence, for cyclists chasing unforgettable roads, panoramic views, and just the right amount of suffering. Yes, the Costa Brava delivers all of this and more, in spades.
Travelling is one of Nadezhda’s favourite things to do – along with cycling! With so many of the world’s best cycling locations already visited, we wanted to share Nadezhda’s favourite rides with you.
Corvarra is a great hub for cycling in the Italian Dolomites. This route, taking in the Paso Podio is a classic ride in the region.
The Selleronda bike day is an epic day and festival of cycling, based in the beautiful Italian Dolomites. This year, I joined over 2000 riders from all over the cycling globe, and had an awesome adventure with my friends 🙂
