Easter Ciclistas

Easter on the Island saw its fair share of great weather, not so great wind but lots of good riding ! The island is currently at it’s most blooming with fields of lush green and swaithes of  yellow and red flowered fields…The summer birds are returning and Swifts, Kestrels and Gulls are a constant companion to every ride…

Mad dogs, Englishmen and Tom from Miami go riding in late August!

A very hot and pretty exhausting August on our part saw VC Ibiza take some very dedicated and sun loving “Corredors” out onto the roads and camino’s of Ibiza.  Big love goes out to the Cobbolds, Daire’s 40th Crew and big Tom from Miami. Whom through the vomit, blood, bruises, sweat and gears all got in some fantastic riding accompanied by some splendid banter… Saludos mi Amigos

A superb young rider, lets hope G has a big future ahead!

We took on some of Ibiza’s most challenging climbs and George who had just turned 14 whilst here on holiday with his family rode like a local,  making short work of everything that was put in his way!

After 4 rides and over 4000 metres of climbing, we hope George is gonna hit peak form for his first race on his return to the UK. Good luck G!
