A relentless gravel gran fondo through dormant vineyards and limestone ridgelines in Spain's storied wine country.
The morning air in Rioja Alavesa holds a sharp chill as the tyres first bite into the gravel, beginning a journey through a landscape defined by the rhythmic geometry of dormant vineyards. The route is a relentless series of undulations, pushing your heart rate skyward as you crest ridges before plunging into sun-drenched valleys. Every descent is a rush of wind and the clatter of loose stone, a temporary reprieve before the next punchy climb through golden October light. By the time the circle closes, your legs carry the heavy, satisfying ache of a day spent chasing the horizon through one of the world's most storied wine regions.
