I'm Laura. I work at a bike shop in Switzerland and love going on long rides through the Alps. The Furka Pass is one of my favorite routes – it's so beautiful and challenging. I've been riding since I was a teenager, but only started doing long distance tours after college.
When I'm not working or training for rides, you can find me hiking in the mountains with friends or practicing yoga to keep my body flexible for bike racing. We always try new trails and have a laugh together over our mistakes! Our group of friends often takes trips abroad where we explore remote areas on our bikes. That's what I love about cycling – it allows me access to so many amazing places.
I got into cyclo-sport recently because my sister, who's also an avid cyclist, convinced me to try the wet weather gear for a ride through some of those rainy Alps routes she knows well. Now we have our weekly rides together and exchange advice on how best use different types of clothing depending on conditions... We like staying dry while still enjoying the thrill of going fast! Do you enjoy riding too? What do your favorite routes look like?
