Season wrap 🇦🇹🇸🇮 Me in my happy (head) space 🚴🏻‍♀️⛰️🤫💆🏻‍♀️ Combining two marvelous events @backyardgravel and @saltandlaketrail whilst reuniting with so many friends (Adrian, Ellen, Andrea) and making news ones along the way (Thomas, Sophie, Barbara). What a fantastic feeling 🫶🏻 Nothing but a #slowtravel trip can create these connections! And don't even get me started on the beautiful landscapes, and the fact that I've finally made it to #Slovenia, and fell in love with #Austria gravel. Happy me 😁

Just over a week cycling up and down the unspoilt mountains of #Kyrgyzstan. I still need to process the beauty of this country and its people. Thank you @epicos.cc, my great travel companions for the amazing #gravelcycling and laughs #nobrakes, and my two fav people @janosch.wintermantel @remote.hc for putting together yet another unforgettable adventure.

1st edition of @finalfrontierpatagonia. An adventure bigger than words can describe... I’m still trying to fully process it, but without doubt: the toughest ride I’ve taken on so far #Patagonia.

My first unsupported trip in South America, and my first real test of ultra-distance riding on long stretches of gravel. I wanted to understand how I handle remoteness, and I learned more than expected.

That’s what keeps me coming back to these events: the edge, the curiosity, the quiet process of #selfdiscovery.

Chile’s deep greens, mountains, and glaciers 🇨🇱🏞️✨ shifting into the vast Argentinian pampa 🇦🇷🫣 endless roads, guanacos, and winds… always there.

#Los73Malditos aka "The 73 Damned" gave me one of the hardest moments I’ve ever had on a bike. Strong side winds pushing us off road, making it difficult just to stay upright. But when stopping isn’t an option, you keep moving forward. It’s surprising what becomes possible in those moments 🤯

What stayed with me most, as always, is the people. Locals, riders, the crew, all the brief encounters that somehow will stay with you forever ♾️. That’s what makes these experiences meaningful, and why I keep coming back! 

Grateful for the moments shared along the way. Special thanks to:
the amazing media crew @projectilerabbit @alkima.audiovisual @cdiazphoto @deamorypedales 🤗
the most loveable Chilean power couple @epifaniasfari @nico.rodrigohv 🤍
and of course le pentole @andrea_borchi @_andrea_zandona @mirco_boschetti 🥳
My best cheerleaders @pitti.ray @lolibacktothetop 🙌🏻 
@hmtruants for inspiring me to give something back and do something good 😊

Nicknames earned on this trip: #cappuccio #lamadrina

Gear ⚙️ apocalypse:
1 x Wahoo dead 
1 x broken chain
--- 5 x new quick links bought (just in case 😅)
0 x punctures 
0 x spare break pads used

Our dear Laura @lauradlnv is riding @finalfrontierpatagonia in support of Heavy Metal Truants (HMT) @hmtruants — a charity movement powered by music, community, and doing good. 

Every pound raised goes to The Truants Foundation, supporting four incredible children’s charities:

🖤 Teenage Cancer Trust
🎶 Nordoff & Robbins (music therapy)
📞 Childline
🌍 Save The Children

📸 She’ll be sharing updates from training, preparation, and from the road itself — including official checkpoint photos — so you can follow the journey all the way to the end of the world.

💥 You can help make this ride count.
Whether it’s £5, £50, or simply sharing this post, every bit of support helps turn this huge physical challenge into real impact for children who need it most.

👉 Donate & follow Laura’s journey — link in bio

If there was ever a ride that deserved a soundtrack of distorted guitars and stubborn optimism… this is it.
Let’s go Laura ❤️

The last long ride of summer ☀️🌊🐎🇭🇷with @istraland.cc #istraland

I’m usually not even that comfortable around horses… but this moment stopped me.

You’re completely alone in nature #ucka No sound, no people. And suddenly, they start running alongside you. It’s happened to me before in Ireland 🇮🇪 and it’s the same feeling every time — hard to describe, but unforgettable.

The first edition of #AlbPacka is done and dusted 🚴‍♀️✨ Smiles, blankets, brezels, wonderful #gravelvalleys and campfires 🔥
...
3 loops
490 km
7,500 m up
1 day 13 hours
& the friendliest crew + volunteers I’ve ever met @alb.packa 🙌
...
I have to admit that the cute #alpaca 🦙 logo got my instant attention when I bumped into the news of these new #gravel event in the #SchwäbischeAlb. I then read 100% of proceeds go to promote cycling for #youngriders 🚴‍♂️❤️ with its #nonprofit status I had no excuses not to sign-up 😁
...
Loop 1 🏞️ started in the rain ☔ but once that cleared out I could enjoy the fabulous #Danube Valley in the sun ☀️ and then on incredibly smooth #champagnegravel and forest paths 🫶🏻 The first 12 hours saw about 235 km, 3,000+ m climbing
...
Loop 2 🌄 started in the dark after a short break at #HardysHut. I didn't want to stop too long because I was cold 🥶 Despite my best intentions I found the first descent freezing and at about 10:30 pm I checked in at an hotel #Blaubeuren. #sleepdeprivation is never an option for me!!
...
After a warm shower 🚿 and a 4-hour sleep I was back on the bike before 4 am. No longer than a couple of hours later I was downing 2 cappuccinos + 1 espresso, to the amusement of the barista who just stared at my #caffeineoverdose 😂☕☕☕ 
...
Loop 3 🌠 started mid morning in sunshine & sweat. Haha. This last loop saw plenty of #hikeabike moments for me. Riding through Steinheim #Meteorkrater Park was unreal.
...

🛖 The many warm welcomes at the hut 
...
For me, I always sign up to these events to #explore and to some extent to find a #personalchallenge, but honestly the most beautiful thing I keep taking away are the encounters with old and new friends 🫶🏻
...
🥈The second edition is in May 2026. I recommend you check it out and if you're lucky as I was, you might get an alpaca kiss too 😂🤭

Chase the sun ☀️ 1,000 km.

I’ve confirmed a few things about myself on this trip. I prefer slow riding. Taking breaks. Actually seeing places, not just passing through.

What stays with me most isn’t the distance, it’s the people I met, on and off the bike 🍦 and yes… I definitely remember where I had good gelato 😄

Funny enough, the hard moments fade quite quickly. They just turn into #epicmemories

🇩🇪🇦🇹🇮🇹 #imperialrandonnée 600 km, storm included
🇮🇹 #chasethesun 280 km in 1 day
🇮🇹 #faustocoppi 120 km bonus track
