Written by Louise Laker

The bike has always been an escape for me - a way to get rid of the stresses of the day, to set myself a physical & mental challenge, to meet great people and have ton of fun.After years of studying, working in the sustainability sector and road racing on the UK circuit, I moved from London to Girona to pursue the dream of professional cycling.Instead, something more incredible happened - I co-founded Eat Sleep Cycle in the cycling capital of Europe, Girona.We create & deliver beautiful cycling tours all over Europe. We love what we do and that shows in our work.
