View Our Routes

Pedalnorth is written and managed by cycling writers and athletes around the globe, bringing you the very best routes and unbiased information. Many of our team work elsewhere within the global cycling community, as well as completing their role at Pedalnorth and want to give something back, by sharing their own life-cycle with you.

Our triathlon and lifestyle editor, Nadezhda Pavlova , is bringing a new buzz to the website and magazine, and our lifestyle blogs. Larisa and the team are developing a new area of road and mtb routes, promoting Transylvania road cycling and the wealth of awesome mountain biking trails in the Carpathian Mountains. Finally, Scott will be adding lots of epic bikepacking ideas for those who are looking for a real adventure on two wheels, and Steve Smales will be developing a new website section on mountain bike stage races.

LATEST NEWS

We want to continue to bring you a limited but meaningful selective of reviews, of only the very best kit, to help guide you to the right kit for a perfect combination of performance and style. Larisa continues to lead the team on this, working with brands from across the globe and helping to drive Pedalnorth forward, with her talent and enthusiasm. As we progress, we’ve also got plans for developing cycle tours with key partners, for you to enjoy biking in places such as transfixing Transylvania and North Yorkshire, two amazingly historic and beautiful places. And, from 2021 onwards, Larisa will be working closely with Redchilli performance bikes from the U.K., racing on their latest carbon bike and using it in her reviews and cycling blogs.

There’s lots more technical stuff on our website too, as we work with brands like Fenwick’s to bring you the very best advice on bike maintenance and upgrades; and we’re going to be working closely with Elite from Italy, to bring you lots of advice and information about indoor cycle training and how it can help you to reach those far off and beautiful places.

VISIT ELITE TRAINERS

Elite make the very best indoor trainers, and Larisa and Robert will be testing them out and writing about how cyclists of all ages and abilities can benefit from indoor training. Along with advice on nutrition and performance from our friends at VOOM Nutrition, we’ve got lots planned for the future. Indoor cycling shouldn’t simply be about racing others on a screen in a warm and cosy environment. It should aim to make your outdoor adventures even more spectacular, finally achieving that ride on the Stelvio or Park Rash. Nutrition is also a key area and one that not all cyclists fully understand, and so we want to improve your overall awareness, making sure that we include nutritional information where we can in our training blogs.

Take a look at the new sections by Steve Smales and test yourself on a mountain bike stage race, as Steve writes about his own cycling life and the multitude of mtb stage events on offer all over Europe and elsewhere. And, make sure that as well as reading our great reviews and blogs, you get out riding too!
