What Gravel Cycling in Colombia is Really Like

Want to know what gravel cycling in Colombia is really like?

I joined the inagural Eat Sleep Cycle Colombia Gravel Adventure to get a taste of the riding in Colombia. What did I find? Amazing people, landscapes and riding, epic rivers, a huge variety of wildlife, really great food and a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Here’s my story about just one day on tour, riding through the jungle from Napoles to the River Miel.

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.
