STORIES

Five friends, a beach, some beers, marshmallows and bikes, and our new favourite thing, the Band of Climbers Fire Pit. An end of season gathering between 5 friends. 

In September 2019 we headed to Susa in the Italian Alps. We had 3 days to to ride the best climbs in the area, the Colle delle Nivolet, Sestriere, Col d'Izoard, Col d'Agnel, and the big one, the Colle del Nivolet

The Italian Alps. An area packed with stunning remote climbs on road and gravel. To help your holiday planning and adventures in up, we've created an interactive map with many of our favourite climbs, so you can plot routes on Strava knowing exactly where to find each climb.

Become a Band of Climbers Ambassador by telling us more about yourself, where you ride, and why you'd like to become one of us.

View the Band of Climbers interactive map of the greatest climbs of the Dolomites and Northern Italy. It's a land so beautifully packed with cycling climbs of all descriptions, with something for everyone.

Band of Climbers brings you an interactive map which shows the summit locations of around 100 of the French Alps finest climbs. We created this map to help you plan your own rides, routes and adventures.

This weekend Band of Climbers supported Wahoo Fitness on their ROAM Ride through the beautiful Peak District. We had perfect weather and a great group of riders join us for a stunning 110km ride which took in climbs including Monsal Head, Sheldon Hill, Longnor, The Rake and Froggatt.

The Grand Tours have popularized Europe's highest roads, making them the bucket list of many riders, but there is another iconic climb that is quickly topping riders bucket lists – the Taiwan KOM Challenge. A race which invites amateurs and World Tour riders to the start line.

In mid-May we optimistically packed our bags and headed to the French Alps to recon the routes ahead of our first Climbers Escape Cycling Holiday later that month.

In May we had our first Alpine group ride in collaboration with Mavic which took in the beautiful climb of Le Semnoz. 17km at at average of 7%, we climbed the longer side from Annecy, and descended back towards the lake, back to Pause Coffee Shop in the centre of town.

On Sunday 19th May Ride with Band of Climbers and Mavic on a group ride which will take us up the famous climb of Le Semnoz.

On Saturday 4th May Ride with Band of Climbers and J.Guillem Titanium Bicycles over 100km of Northumberland's finest hills.
