From cruising palm-lined coastal paths to conquering the decisive climbs of La Primavera. 🇮🇹⚡️

Riding the Pista Ciclabile along the Ligurian coast is pure bliss, but turning inland to tackle the Cipressa and Poggio hits completely different. Passing pro murals, grabbing a roadside espresso, and riding the exact tarmac where Milano-Sanremo explodes is a bucket-list day on two wheels. 🚴‍♂️🌊

Would you attack the Poggio full-gas or cruise the coastal views? Drop it below 👇

While everyone else is heading to the beach, we’re heading 1,000m straight into the clouds. 🌊⛰️

There’s no better feeling on the Côte d’Azur than rolling out along the Mediterranean, tracing iconic pro training roads, and conquering world-class cols before lunch. 🚴‍♂️✨

A secret pro test track hidden in plain sight above the Côte d’Azur. 🇫🇷

Col de la Madone has never featured in the Tour de France, yet it holds one of the richest stories in road cycling history. Decades ago, Monaco-based pros used this 13.1 km effort to test their peak race legs.

Riding from the sea straight into the mountains with zero traffic and endless Mediterranean views makes this an absolute bucket-list climb.

Save this post for your Côte d’Azur route planning! 📌

A August Pinned across Europe. Pinned not just on Strava, but in our memory.

August took us from sea level to peaks we only dreamed of, exploring legendary asphalt and some hidden gems. Swipe through a summer of suffering, smiles, and stunning views.

📍 San Remo (Italy): Following in the footsteps of the ‚Classissima.‘ Standing by that sign in full kit was a genuine core memory unlocked. History you can feel in every pedal stroke.

📍 Côte d’Azur (France): Above the blue. A perfect 8% gradient through olive groves with the Mediterranean on the horizon. This is why we ride. Pure bliss.

📍 Monaco: Front row for the Vuelta TT launchpad. Watching the pros put down serious watts under the Casino sun. Pure inspiration (and a reminder of our own Zone 2 paces).

📍 Rodope Mountains (Bulgaria): The hidden gem of the trip. Remote, quiet, and absolutely pristine asphalt cutting through deep pine forests. Pure exploration in its finest form.

Which of these climbs is going on your bucket list next season? Let us know below 👇

Hard to believe a whole week has passed since La Vuelta took over Monaco. 🇲🇨🚴‍♂️

Standing just meters away as time-trialists launched off the Casino Monte-Carlo ramp and blasted past the harbor at 60km/h was unreal. TV really doesn’t do that raw pro speed justice. ⚡️

The dead-end Swiss pass you can finish by cable car: Col du Sanetsch (2,252m). 🇨🇭📖

It starts down in the sun-drenched vineyards of Sion. But within a few kilometers, the gradient locks in at a relentless 7–10% and doesn’t let up for 25 continuous kilometers. 📈🍷

You fight your way up 1,800 vertical meters, squeezing through an 800m black rock tunnel before breaking out into the high alpine wilderness. 🔦⛰️

At the summit basin, expect the unexpected: Lac de Sanetsch—normally a picture-perfect turquoise lake—was completely drained dry from the summer heatwave! ☀️🏜️

Then comes the ultimate finish line moment: at 2,252m under the Tsanfleuron Glacier, the asphalt dead-ends. 🧊

For motorists, it’s game over. But for cyclists? You hang your road bike on a tiny gondola, drop over the mountain cliff into Gstaad, and ride the valley back to complete an epic loop! 🚠🚲

Is this the ultimate “closed road” climb in Switzerland? 🏔️🇨🇭

Portes de Culet (1,787m) via the north ramp out of Muraz is pure gold for local roadies. Officially closed to motor vehicles due to a landslide, the road is still accessible for cyclists willing to ride at their own risk. 🚴‍♂️🚧

You get sweeping panoramas of Lac Léman & the 7 peaks of Dents du Midi ⛰️🌊

Shoutout to @quäldich for helping us discover this gem! 📚✨

Col de la Croix • 1,779 m

Connecting the Rhône Valley to Les Diablerets, this climb takes you from the valley floor in Aigle/Bex up through Villars-sur-Ollon to 1,779 meters in the Vaud Alps.

1,400 meters of elevation gain, quiet asphalt, and the famous gypsum pyramids near the summit. One of the true cycling highlights of the Canton of Vaud. 🇨🇭🚴‍♀️

📌 Save for your Swiss Alps route planning.
