Additional Questions
Is Avanti for me?
Avanti tours are built for the serious cyclist. These journeys are for athletes who live and breathe the sport—who thrive on pushing their limits, training with intention, and showing up ready for something extraordinary.
If you’re the type of rider who seeks out the legendary roads of cycling history, who dreams about testing yourself on climbs you’ve only ever seen on television or read about in magazines, this is for you. You don’t just want to ride—you want to ride the routes that define the sport.
But Avanti isn’t just about conquering climbs. It’s about camaraderie. We believe that the toughest days are made better when shared, and that the energy of the group lifts everyone higher. If you understand that true growth comes not only from your own effort but from the collective effort of those around you, you’re already one of us.
We’re looking for riders who come prepared—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Riders who contribute to the group, share their knowledge, and celebrate the victories of others as much as their own. Avanti tours are about building a high-energy, supportive environment where serious cyclists can thrive, test their limits, and return home transformed.
If you’re ready to go beyond the ordinary, immerse yourself in iconic cycling culture, and join a community that values both grit and connection—you’re exactly who we built Avanti for.
