The average cyclist

A long-term traveler with a deep love for discovering new places, I spent years exploring South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia before deciding to stay in Andalucía.

Drawn by the region’s rich culture, stunning landscapes, and endless sunshine, I found the perfect spot to settle for a while. It’s here in Spain that I rekindled my passion for cycling, thanks to the excellent roads and scenic routes that the area offers. Now, my journey continues with a blend of local living and exploring the beauty of Andalucía, one ride at a time.

Although I’m reasonably well-trained, I’m an exactly average cyclist—on Strava and timed sections of challenges, you’ll usually find me somewhere near the middle of the pack. This website is for regular riders like me—those who love getting out on the weekends but don’t have the time to ride five times a week or spend 20 hours on the bike. If you’re looking for relatable cycling stories, routes, and tips that fit into a balanced life, you’re in the right place.
