Veloviews for October 20, 2023 – Top Cycling Destinations

Now that summer is over and autumn is in progress, maybe you’re feeling disappointed because you didn’t get to the place you wanted for your cycling vacation? No matter the reasons, it’s okay. There’s no need to feel bad as it happens to the best of us. Plus, it’s never too early to start thinking about a trip for next year.

Today I’m resharing a post I wrote about top cycling destinations around the world, that’s according to one of my favorite cycling apparel manufacturers, Giordana. However, this post has nothing to do with apparel and everything to do with the best destinations for road cycling.

How to Find a Great Location for a Cycling Trip

If you want to find a great location for road riding, you can ask someone at your local bike shop. The folks there can probably help you find something good and challenging without having to venture too far. Of course, the internet is an endless source for finding a place that works with your cycling desires.

On the other hand, if you have been bitten by the wanderlust bug and you’re craving something unique that even the pros frequent, pack your bags, pack your bike, buy a plane ticket, and get ready to travel to one of these 7 places.

Here are some perks of the places listed below. These destinations are not only great for cycling, but they are also places that experience mild weather year-round.

Travel Inspiration and Blatant Product Plug

Read Giordana’s post about these top cycling destinations, then maybe pick up a new kit while you’re there on the company’s website. I’ve supplied links to all the places Giordana mentions, so you can read a little more about each area if you’re thinking about a trip for the end of this year or want to plan for next year.

• Vancouver (British Columbia)

• Tenerife (located in the Canary Islands off of Spain)

• The Netherlands (formally referred to as Holland)

• Fuerteventura (also part of the Canary Islands)

• Capetown (South Africa)

• Bergamo-Lombardia (Italy) Many pro riders live and train here.

• Andorra (between France and Spain in the Pyrenees Mountains).

Last Thoughts

Giordana’s post about top cycling destinations is a good starter for places across the world to have a cycling vacation. Of course, there are many other places, for instance, in France, Spain, Italy, and even the United States that aren’t mentioned.

The Dolomites area in northern Italy is the one that sticks in my mind because I did an epic trip there in 2014. That said, wherever you choose to go and how you do it, with a group or solo via one of the many bicycle travel companies I’ve talked about here on the blog, plan early and start training for a trip that will be life-changing.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
