Nadezhda – travels on 2-wheels
A selection of my fav places to ride!
Cycling, hiking, skiing and other sports have always been central to my lifestyle! I also love travelling to explore new places – especially with my bike. Living in Barcelona and northern Spain, I get to ride some of the best cycling routes in Spain, close to home; with places such as Andorra and Girona also close by. This year I’ve really started to explore Italian cycling routes too, riding the Selle Ronde and cycling in the Dolomites. Writing about these amazing places to cycle, allows me to share my love of travelling and cycling with all of you; and you also get to see my favourite places to ride, as we explore some of the best cycling routes in the world.
I wanted to share my favourite rides with you, as I travel across Europe and elsewhere with my cycling friends. From the local cycling routes near to my current home in Barcelona, to the mountains of Andorra, to the beautiful Dolomites and the French Pyrenees, let’s explore Europe together and have new adventures on 2-wheels!
Each of the routes listed here have maps and a GPX file for you, and usually my own recommendation for the best hotels to use too. Travelling with your bike, you also need to take care on flights; which is why I recommend using a Bike Box Alan ‘Easy Fit’ box. Once you arrive at your destination, you’ll be cycling and smiling in no time, as you traverse the rolling meadows and mountains passes, with some of the most spectacular views in the world. Yes, let’s go cycling together; join me on my favourite places to ride in Europe!
Lifestyle is part of who we are, and travelling is part of me. Finding new places to explore is fun too, as I get to see some amazing places and stay in super-stylish hotels 😉 along the way. This year, I’ve ridden in some amazing events; from the Tourmalet to a women’s only cycling festival in Switzerland, riding with some inspirational people. The world is still a global village, and we owe it to ourselves to have fun and to travel – after all, that’s also part of who we are – amazing women, exploring the world on our bikes!
