Milan to Barcelona
We're calling you to join us on an adventure. It will take us through three countries, from the ancient city of Milan, over two mountain ranges, passed the french riviera to the fabled lands of Catalunya.
Along the way we'll be staying at some of the most beautiful organic farms, eco-communities and permaculture projects to inspire our own homegrown revolution. There'll be plenty of time to discover remote rural villages, swim in cooling rivers and sip sangria in the shade while swapping tales from the road. From city to city it promises some of the most beautiful and scenic cycling Europe has to offer.
The route is challenging and engaging, putting fire in your belly (and thighs) and calling for a high level of grit and determination. However, we have also designed it to be accessible: you don't need to be a pro cyclist by any means, and if you want to do the ride, then we will get you there. Each day you'll get stronger, each mile quicker, each mountain more proud.

Hear from past riders
I joined the Milan to Barcelona trip and was so nervous/excited when I signed up as I knew it would be a huge challenge for me, and it was, but also brought with it a huge opportunity to meet some amazing people and learn a lot about myself, about alternative ways of living which tread more lightly on the earth, and see some incredible landscapes. Joe and his team had the perfect balance of good humour, empathy and encouragement, and the rest of the group were just as wonderful - patient with my pace and always up for a chat about anything. I would really recommend the experience and will certainly be keeping it in mind to do again in the future myself!
