The Hills – Hebden Bridge Cycling
You can’t cycle far out of Hebden Bridge without encountering a gradient. When you live in the valley, everywhere is up. Then down, and up again, and up a bit more. The narrow roads twist; the grade increases suddenly when you least expect it. You round a corner, thinking, ‘This must be it. I can see the sky,’ to be … Continue reading

L’Eroica Britannia – the most ‘handsome’ cycling festival
We’ve always loved the concept of L’Eroica in Italy and have had it on our wish list for a while. So when we were approached to attend L’Eroica Britannia we jumped at the chance. L’Eroica Britannia is the brainchild of members of Sheffield cycling club La Squadra, led by Gian Bohan. The event is situated in the heart of the … Continue reading

Riding in the summer through the heart of Andalucía requires a few things… stamina, sun block, sunglasses, water and a head for heights! Up early to avoid baking sun, stunning views revealed themselves as we cycled to the picturesque white Moorish Spanish town Casarabonela, situated on the western side of the Guadalhorce Valley.
