5th/6th April - Flanders’ Finest
Wout van Aert is completely focussed on this race for 2025. That's how important this race is in Belgium. Plus the sportive, is arguably the toughest monument. Not for it's distance (MSR and LBL are longer), nor for it's climbing (LBL has much much more) and not for its cobbled difficulty (they are smooth compared to PR). It's because of the vast contrast between the smooth fast lanes and the lung-busting short bumpy climbs. Plus there are excellent shorter distance options, that allow you the full Flanders experience without the same struggle! Whatever distance you choose, it's a day you will remember, probably forever!

Make 2025 Memorable

22nd/23rd March – La Primavera
If you are a fan of this race, we truly have the trip for you.
On the day of the pro race, you’ll ride, with your guide Andrea, to cover the final part of the race route just a couple of hours ahead of the pro peloton. You’ll cross the finish line, stand on the podium for photos and then spend the rest of the race within the VIP finish hospitality, which is right on the finish line. If the sprint is close, you’ll know the outcome before anyone watching on TV.

Andrea raced MSR professionally five times and made it all the way to the line in the front group on three occasions (yes three times!!), with his best result being 9th. Only a few know this race better and even fewer love it as much as he does.

The following day, you’ll ride the Gran Fondo Sanremo-Sanremo. This is your opportunity to ride the most iconic parts of the course that includes the Ligurian Riviera (pictured), the Cipressa and the famous Poggio.

Make 2025 Memorable
9/10 March - The Southern most Northern Classic
The Gran Fondo Strade Bianche is one of the most exciting and unique cycling events. Set against the stunning backdrop of Tuscany's rolling hills, the event offers you the chance to experience the same iconic white roads (strade bianche) that have made the professional races legendary, even although it was only conceived in 2007. Plus you'll get to practice your skills the day before while riding out to see the very best male and female riders fly through the gravel,

When the weather isn't quite what you hoped for and being inside is looking like the best option. It's time to plan, discuss and plot adventures, rides and challenges for when the weather is better. If you do this, you'll more than make up for what you've lost on a bad weather day in winter. Here's to great rides in 2025 😊

When it's cold, dark and the forecast is getting worse, we like to think about our forthcoming summer adventures. It keeps us motivated to get out when we can, and it also motivates us to plan the training that will enable us to enjoy the day, when the big ride comes around 😊

27/12/2024

With a race schedule that contains every big Spring Classic apart from Roubaix, (which we think, is a race he could win), he's coming back to MSR to have another go. Probably fair to say his chances are limited in a sprint even though he came close this year. So how will he get a bigger gap?

PLAN YOUR TRAINING FOR 2025
Very few of us can just roll up after a couple of weeks training and have an enjoyable experience at events, such as the Etape du Tour or Gran Fondo Strade Bianche, or when taking on Hors Catégorie climbs like the Stelvio, Ventoux or Alpe d'Huez.

There is no hiding, we simply have to get the miles and the climbing in.

If you want to get something in early for next year, check out our Mallorca Camp, which offers flexible dates during the first two weeks of February.

A great way to keep riding through the cold and dark of winter is to have something to ride for. The white roads of Strade Bianche in early March is an excellent objective. Ride to watch both pro races which includes a practice on the gravel on the Saturday, followed by taking on the Grand Fondo Strade Bianche yourself. It makes for a great weekend 😊
