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
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
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
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 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
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
