Hi everyone I'm new to the community. I'm currently in New Zealand training for a trip on my pedal boat

Great to have you here. This community is built for riders who believe their best chapter on the bike is still ahead. Whether you want to get fitter, faster, leaner, stronger or simply fall back in love with cycling, you’re in the right place. Before we get rolling, let’s get to know each other. Drop a quick intro under the "introduce yourself tab" in "communities" • Who are you • Where you’re riding from • Your cycling goals • And most importantly… a pic of your bike This is a community of support, accountability and shared passion. The more we show up, the more powerful this space becomes. Looking forward to meeting you all and helping you write the next chapter in your cycling story. Let’s get after it. You’re not done yet.

Hi everyone. I’m in northern Italy, just near Venice. Interested in any type of cycling, been racing on and off since the mid 1990’s. Cross country mtb, cyclocross and road. Had an eventful 2025, trained for and completed the Cape Epic, enjoyed it so much I entered the BC Bike Race, both 1 week mtb stage races. 8 weeks before BC bike race fell on the gravel and broke both my arms. Managed to recover just in time and get it all done. Finished the year off with masters cyclocross worlds near Milan. Goal this year is have a better crack at cyclocross at the end of the year. Can’t spend as much time travelling and racing this year as I have 3 young children and a full time job! Busy times, looking forward to getting stuck in.

Hello everyone, I am Kevin, based around Austin/Leander. I am mostly a road rider (some gravel and mountain bike) and I am in that happily-obsessive phase of trying to get stronger in a systematic way: lots of structured work, plenty of Zone 2, and trying to do the boring fundamentals well (sleep, consistency, nutrition). I am also a scientist by day (and some nights) (biochem/cancer drug discovery, with a bit of an obsession with protein synthesis - i.e. how it is regulated), so I tend to home in on 'what’s the mechanism?'- whether that’s training adaptations, fatigue, or why one setup feels calm in crosswinds and another doesn't. I am genuinely looking forward to learning from the group. Below is my Aethos. I love this bike for its simplicity and its so much fun on the hills. 44T/10-36, 6 Kg.as seen.

Hi everyone! I have already introduced myself in the free general group. It seems I need to do it here again. Sorry to bother you if you already seen my post in the other group. Hi! I am Delphine from France. I am 43. Currently living between Luxembourg and France and will soon move to Switzerland. Riding bikes for 15 years. I am a pure climber, love racing in mountain events. I ride both road and Gravel. My favorite riders: Romain Bardet, Mads Pedersen, Ben Healy, Lachlam Morton among the men. Kasia Newiadoma and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot among women. Favorite race: TDF, Giro and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. My road bike: O2 Vam from Factor. Gravel: diverge sport Carbon from Specialized I am currently looking to upgrade and find a new gravel. Not easy for me since I am 154cm and it seems the bike infustry does not offer yet a lot of premium choices for small riders/women. If you have some ideas, let me know. I have been a Haute Route ambassador for 7 years but now I am looking for different challenges. I have a few races in mind for this year but one big challenge for me would be Gravel French championship. I am making my own training plans/bike fitting and I am happy I have found a real community of passionate cyclists.
