Cycling Motivation

It's easier to get on the bike through winter when there's a ride you're looking forward to on the calendar. Perhaps you want to finish your first sportive, return to a mountain event with better legs or finally enter the gran fondo you've been discussing for years. Choosing that target means looking beyond the finish-line photos to the preparation, cost and time involved. Here's how to choose an event that suits your riding and your life, with eight ideas for 2027 and ways to prepare on ROUVY.
