Massif Central, France

Weekend Snapshot, Timothé Girard

By Timothé Girard (@atlasducycle)

As part of our school vacation, I recently rode through France’s Massif Central with my friend Léo. We left from Clermont-Ferrand and headed toward Saint-Flour. The sun was shining, and we followed the GTMC and GR30 aboard our 90s mountain bikes, finding the last of the winter snow. Our route crossed four mountain ranges, and the colors and landscapes were fabulous!

La Palma, Spain

We’ve been riding the Canary Islands for a couple of months now. Using the Gran Guanche route as a base, we’ve been adding roads that look interesting or have been recommended by other riders. This weekend, we left the tent and all unnecessary gear behind to take a day ride to check out an active volcanic ridge called Cumbre Vieja. It was amazing to ride on the black volcanic sand through beautiful pine forest and occasionally across old lava flows.

Arizona

Weekend Shapshot, John Whalen

Delayed by COVID, my friend Mark and I finally found an opportunity to ride the Black Canyon Trail in Arizona. It didn’t disappoint, with excellent weather and the trail itself was an absolute joy to ride!
