ROUVY routes

Cycling in Sardinia combines quiet roads, spectacular Mediterranean coastline and a rugged interior that rewards riders willing to venture beyond the beaches. While this guide focuses mainly on road cycling, the island also offers excellent gravel riding through its mountainous interior. From rolling coastal roads to steady mountain climbs, Sardinia suits everyone from leisure riders to experienced cyclists.

The 2026 La Vuelta a España is the third Grand Tour of the men's cycling season and marks the race's first-ever start in Monaco. This guide explores how the route unfolds from Monaco to Granada, highlights the climbs and stages most likely to shape the race, and shows where you can ride sections of this year's route on ROUVY.

For many riders, Lanzarote is one of those places that stays in their legs long after the ride ends. The roads are rarely flat, the winds are relentless, and the volcanic landscape makes almost every route feel different from anywhere else. For Jesper, the island gradually became more than just a winter riding destination. After years of travelling there with his family, it also became the place where he started creating routes for ROUVY.

Zone 2 training works best on roads where power stays steady for long stretches without constant braking, sharp climbs or repeated surges. These ROUVY routes were picked because they let you get into an aerobic rhythm and stay there, whether you are building base miles for a sportive, preparing for an IRONMAN or trying to make indoor endurance rides feel less repetitive.

Cycling in Sicily combines raw volcanic terrain, open coastal roads, and deeply layered history, making it one of the most varied places to ride, both physically and culturally. It offers everything from long climbs to short coastal spins and inland village routes that suit riders who enjoy both challenge and cultural depth.

Certain routes slowly become favourites. Others rise in popularity because riders keep talking about them after doing these as group rides, races or major cycling events. Over the last few months, these are the ROUVY routes riders have been returning to again and again, whether for legendary climbs, iconic race routes or just because the scenery makes an indoor session feel far less like indoor training.

When most riders think about ROUVY routes, they usually think about the riding itself: the climbs, the scenery, the roads and the experience of riding somewhere completely different from home. What’s easier to miss is everything happening behind the camera.

The 2026 Giro d’Italia will likely be decided in the high mountains, with key summit finishes like Blockhaus, Carì, Piani di Pezzè and Piancavallo shaping the general classification in the final Alpine and Dolomite week.

Cycling in the Azores means riding through volcanic terrain, coastal roads and quiet inland landscapes that change quickly from one section to the next.
