Pick n Mix Vol. 15
This week we’ve got a number of new and exciting rides from around the globe to share with you and help keep your indoor riding exciting!
We welcome new contributor Wayne Calder as he takes us on a climb through Haleakala in Upcountry, Maui.
This collection also takes us to Austria (Hans Peter Obwaller), Cordoba (Marcelo Mourier), and the UK (John Bennett).
You can find all these rides under NEW in the FulGaz App.
HALEAKALA RANGER HUT
The climb to the top of Haleakala is one of the longest paved climbs in the world at over 3,000 metres from the ocean town of Paia. It’s a long climb which takes you through green pastures in the Upcountry, under blossoming Jacaranda trees, up to the barren lava rock at the top of this dormant volcano. On this segment, we begin our climb above the clouds at the park entrance at approximately 2,000 metres. There’s no warmup to be had here, but the ascent is a fairly steady 5.6% grade with a slight kick at the top where you pass the observatory on your left near the summit.
More InfoTD 5 BORO BIKE RIDE 2021

This is the TD 5 Boro ride starting in lower Manhattan and winding your way through the five Boros of the Big Apple, you take in the sights and sounds of Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn before finishing on Staten Island.
More InfoABOVE UTTENDORF
Winter ride - it is getting a little bit difficult to ride because it is getting warmer and warmer. This ride starts with a flat part on snow and will bring you two climbs. The first one is on tarmac, the second one is on snow again and is fairly slippery because temperatures are getting higher and higher. After the downhill you will have some flat kilometres on snow again - these are the final Kms on snow in this 2022 winter.

The ride starts on a perfect winters day with blue sky with a very short downhill, flat part on a cyclepath to warm up and then a short climb. After the downhill (pay attention to the parts on ice!) again flat and offroad on snow. Finally a demanding climb on snow.
More InfoSAULOCH ALM WINTER
This ride brings the Austrian winter into your home. On a perfect sunny day, about 80% of this ride is on snow, the remaining 20% is on tarmac. After some flat kilometres to get warmed up, you will have to do about 9Km of uphill with outstanding scenery, and several times you can see the alpine skiers on the piste. Enjoy the following downhill on snow and the back again on flat kilometres.
More InfoLACOCK AND CASTLE COMBE
You may well recognise the filmset stone villages of Castle Combe and Lacock as locations for Harry Potter and War Horse. This ride takes in other equally pretty Cotswold stone villages and lush English countryside on a perfect summer’s day. There are no major climbs but the undulating nature of the countryside will provide a stern workout.
More InfoCAMINO DEL CUADRADO DOWNHILL
This ride complements the 'Camino del Cuadrado' climb, so by riding them back-to-back you can get the full up-and-down experience. And while it is mostly a downhill ride, with an altitude drop of 545m, it does have a couple of bumps that add up to 105m of climbing, so it can be used as a nice 'warm up' ride to get your legs and heart rate going.
More InfoCAMINO DE LAS ALTAS CUMBRES
A lovely rolling ride through the hill under some moody skies, and bright blue patches will keep you motivated and riding forward!
