The Tour de France is the biggest cycling event in the world, running since 1903. The event has been host to some truly memorable moments and winners over the years and there will no doubt be plenty of twists and turns in this year’s event which is set to start in Copenhagen on the 1st of July.
With the summer finally here, it’s time to get out and enjoy the wonderful sights that the UK has to offer. One of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors is a hiking trip.
Cycle routes make such a great exercise and activity and we hope this list helped to showcase the diversity and depth of the cycle paths in Wales, one of the most under-appreciated areas in the UK.

To me the purpose of what I do goes beyond the wins and podiums; a result is also defined by the lives our team changes whilst showing what's possible with diabetes. I work every day in the hope of making one more person affected by diabetes, smile more, hope more and dream bigger.
Diabetes doesn't define me but what I do with it does.
In 2019 I sold my custom frame brand WyndyMilla to focus on fresh new adventurous ways of challenging and disrupting the status quo in cycling (more on that soon).
Adventures though are nothing without fuel, and now mine is Columbian super fruit from fellow challenger/disruptors Lucho Dillitos - how freakin’ cool is that?
Nowadays you're most likely to find her working her way through one of the 100 climbs she has set herself. Throughout the summer, it's not uncommon for her to be chasing 3, 4 or even more climbs in a day - always with a Lucho in tow, of course!
