Learn how to recover faster, plus discover our favourite climbs in the world
We made a promise to ride alongside you, come rain, hail or shine. So we've been working to bring you a collection of training tips, riding inspiration, and community projects to bring us all together. Dive in to this week's cycling inspi and if you have any suggestions for content or projects you'd like to see, don't hesitate to get in touch and let us know. | USING YOGA TO RECOVER FASTER | Cycling isn't just about getting to the top of the climb fastest. It's about being able to back up your efforts day after day, and that means recovering quickly and efficiently. To make sure your body is capable of repeating intense efforts, serious cyclists know they need to do everything possible to help speed up the recovery process. During Haute Route events, we help by providing specific food and supplements, as well as massage. But when you're training, there's one foolproof way to help you recover faster: Yoga. Try these eight yoga poses to boost your cycling recovery and let us know what you think. | OUR FAVOURITE CLIMBS: ST. GOTTHARD PASS | With history dating back to Roman times and granite cobbles from the early 1800s, St Gotthard is more than just another climb in the wilds of the Swiss Alps. The ancient Tremola road winding its way to the top of the pass has become a legendary bucket list ride for cyclists in Switzerland and is one of the best climbs in the world. Cycling in the alps simply does not get any better than this mythical traverse. | While we can't yet ride together on the road, we can ride together on Zwift. Join us every week on Zwift to train and chat with the community of passionate riders from around the world. We've set up two ride times so our friends from all around the world can join in. These social sessions with our ambassadors in varied terrain will give you a taste for the real Haute Route and make sure you are fighting fit when we can ride together again. | GET THE LE COL X HAUTE ROUTE KIT | Who doesn't love new kit day? We're super proud of our new Le Col kit this year. This high performance, technical gear is deigned for the toughest rides in the world. Right now, Le Col is doing a limited edition bundle deal so you can get your hands on the official jersey, bib shorts and cap with massive savings. Are you ready to ride? | Sure, it's been a strange start to the year. But despite some challenges, we are laser focused on planning for a positive future. This is why we are currently working on innovative projects to take the Haute Route to a new level. As always, your opinion is everything to us. That's why we would love for you to share your opinion in this short survey to help us make the future of Haute Route bigger and brighter than ever before. Rest assured, the data you share with us is completely confidential and will not be shared with other organisations. | |
