GRAN FONDO Cycling Magazine

Our goal is to open your mind. Make you discover new places, new challenges and, of course, bring you products that will make you stand out from the crowd and turn heads on the tarmac. The further we go, the wiser and more experienced we become.

We respect and appreciate the history and heritage of cycling, but strive to find a modern interpretation. Sometimes this leads to a revolution, or sometimes just in a badly-needed evolution.

We are all individuals driven by passion and excitement for the sport. We love the idols, but believe that every two-wheeled enthusiast is a hero. It’s not always about the pros, or trying to imitate what they are doing and riding. It’s riders like you and me that we care about.

Why? Because self-awareness will make you a better, stronger and happier rider. We don’t aim to preach to the masses or stick to the common rules; we follow our own strada, route and camino. And want you to find yours as well.

We love to share the ride with our friends. We love to stop for an espresso, but nothing beats a delicious cortado in Spain or a macchiato in Italy. Whether there’s dust, mud, sun or rain – as long as we have grins on our faces, the wind blowing through our hair and some pain in the legs, it’s all good. A fine craft beer after an exhausting ride is always the best reward (ok, and the odd KOM as well).

Join our ride, it will be exciting. We promise.

Our friend and local guide showed us around the Haßberge Nature Park. Follow our tracks to discover some hidden gems, you would otherwise miss. Starting at Köslau, prepare for one major ascent at the halfway mark to the top of the Bramberg. Once on the the top, the rest of the route is smooth sailing.

This route consists of two loops which can be done separatly. But we decided to eat the whole enchilada in one go. The southern loop is shorter, but has a steeper climb, so both of them are comparable in the effort it takes, to pass them. If you start at with the southern loop first, you can take a break

The castle extravaganza tour can be percieved from two perspectives. Close to the end of the loop, you climb up the hill near Eichseldorf. The celtic tower Schwedenschanze on top of the hill is open for visitors. From the observation platfrom, you can trace back your tracks and gace of into the far distance.
