5 PLACES TO ADD TO YOUR CYCLING BUCKET LIST

5 PLACES TO ADD TO YOUR CYCLING BUCKET LIST

To fully appreciate the world, one must travel

Sure, one can take in nature’s beauty through pictures and

videos; however, according to St. Augustine that will still

leave you stuck on page one

It’s time to turn those pages and experience life to the

fullest. And certain places just need to be seen from the

saddle of your bicycle, so here are 5 places to add to your

cycling bucket list

THE ISLAND OF TASMANIA IN AUSTRALIA

THE ISLAND OF TASMANIA IN AUSTRALIA

Tasmania is a touring cyclist’s

dream, it’s as simple as that

Smooth roads meet stunning

views and free camping

Additionally, Tasmania offers

endless views of the sea and a

multitude of bakeries to satisfy

your mid-day treat hankering

And of course, let’s not forget

about the wildlife

THE DOLOMITES IN

ITALY

THE DOLOMITES IN ITALY

There is no way to describe the

thrill of riding through a mountain

range

Taking in breathtaking views while

inhaling the fresh mountain air

comes second to none, especially

when said mountain range is

located in northern Italy

The Dolomites offer 6500+ feet

peaks as well as the stunning

Seiser Alm, the largest Alpine

meadows in all of Italy.

ZAGORA TO TAFRAOUTE IN MOROCCO

ZAGORA TO TAFRAOUTE IN MOROCCO

Imagine sand dunes towering close to

1000 feet above your head, then

couple that with the images of a lush

oasis and incredible nature and you’ve

got the beauty that is southern

Morocco

While this location offers astonishing

cycling routes that should be taken in

in all their glory, the desert around

Zagora in particular is worth exploring

as well

Tip: if you want to experience the

almond trees (yes, there are almond

trees) in full bloom, plan your trip

around February

THE MOLESWORT

H ROAD IN NEW

ZEALAND

THE MOLESWORTH ROAD IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand has a lot to offer in terms

of cycling; however, Molesworth Road is

certainly one to add to your bucket list

With that being said, it’s important to

note that although this road is a must,

it’s certainly not an easy ride

You’ll run into dirt roads; however, there

are cold streams and campsites

available at each end of the road as well

as surreal views of farmland

Additionally, there are hot springs calling

your name at the road’s southern tip –

the hot springs of Hanmer

EASTERN OREGON IN

AMERICA

EASTERN OREGON IN AMERICA

If you’re looking for a cycling spot that’ll

allow you to instantly de-stress while

reconnecting with yourself and

reflecting on life, grab your bike and

head over to eastern Oregon

Route 395 will take you through the

heart of Oregon’s desert, allowing you

to be one with your thoughts while

soaking up the stunning scenery that

surrounds you

You’ll be able to see Abert Rim, which

is one of the highest fault scarps in the

US, and treat yourself to an authentic

slice of apple pie at the local rest stop
