This week you can ride with us in the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway or even the stunning Sun Road in Canada’s Glacier National Park, there’s a broad selection of rides that will help you keep exploring this stunning earth of ours.
Going to the Sun West on closed roads - so no cars! A lovely evening in July for what Levi Leipheimer called 'hands down the best climb in the US, maybe the world. This is the ride on every serious North American cyclist's bucket list. The approach to Logan Pass from the west is a mind blowing adventure on roads so narrow, cliffs so steep with sheer drop offs that many refuse to drive. The climb is never too difficult - maximum 7.5% grade which is a good thing - there is enough to take in visually that will take your breath away.
