We are in Paphos right now and our first impression are rather good. We already see the location (Southern touristy part of Paphos) is not perfect for cycling as you need to ride around 10km on busy roads to get out to quiet roads but those are beautiful. So far we haven't encountered any...

Hello everyone! We are looking to spend some time in Cyprus and we are wondering what a good place for a base is. We like mountains but being close to a beach would be great as well. We like spending most of our days without a car so some infrastructure around would be nice (we will rent a car...

It's the same road up from Bormio. The road forks at the end of the ascent - left to Umbrail Pass, right to Stelvio so only few last kms are missing from the climb. What is a bigger loss is the descent from Stelvio which is an epic road (especially when you climb it but even for descending there...

Right? I mean Tirano, Mortirolo, Gavia and finish up Stelvio could be something to behold :) Even starting from Livigno they could have gone on the Swiss Side to Prad, climb from there and finish on say Bormio 2000 hill. So many ways to make Stelvio and another climb in the area count and they...

I am disappointed about Bormio and Dolomites regions. I was hoping for Mortirolo and/or Gavia. I think especially Gavia is spectacular. Livigno - Bormio - Prad is a nice route to ride but I think not the best to race with super fast descent to Bormio and a long but mild climb up Stelvio. I don't...

It seems there is unusual number of mechanicals. Any guesses why?

So it's more like generally good weather but thunderstorms sometimes instead of generally shitty weather all the time? I am happy to take the former :)

Hello all! As the weather is getting worse and worse every day where we (me and my gf) live (rain, thunderstorms, strong winds on most days) we are looking for a nice road cycling destination in Europe. I would like to avoid Canary Islands as we spend the winter there and it's not ideal in the...
