Closing Our 2025 Season with Gratitude, Joy, and 36 Years of Ciclismo Magic

As we close our 2025 Ciclismo season, I am so very grateful and blessed for completing our 36th year of transformational bicycle tours for the culturally curious. It’s been an amazing RIDE and I am zealously ready to see what’s around the next turn.

In addition to my family and friends, here’s what I am thankful for:

Our Ciclismo Team

Still Wild, Wonderful, and (Bicycle) Crazy after all these years! 

I am indebted to our hard-working USA and Italy team, as well as our passionate guides whose tenure with Ciclismo averages 15 years and over 150 trips each. This is my Ciclismo Family; when I am with them at our guide meetings or watching them in action on tour, I am in total awe.  Our curious, charismatic, supercharged, and committed-to-quality team is what makes our beautiful Ciclismo World spin so smoothly and magically.

GRAZIE CICLISMO FAMIGLIA!

The Roads We Ride, the People We Meet

More than 36 years ago, I pedaled in Italy for the first time and, spinning down that cypress road, it felt like I was diving into a Renaissance painting.  Nothing has changed. I am forever inspired by the special places we visit, thankful for the kindness of our European hosts, and so very proud of the innovative, flowing, and stunning itineraries we create.

GRAZIE ITALIA E TUTTI

Our Super Guests!

Ciclismo Classico is fortunate to have a very special breed of guests. We create new trips, and they flock in our direction. We feed them our Ciclismo Menu, and they sip and savor every bite like kids in a candy store–with gusto, curiosity, and a zestful determination to enjoy every pedal stroke.  Their wide smiles, colorful personalities, youthful spirits, and BIG hearts are WHY we do what we do.

GRAZIE AMICI!

My Bicycle. La Mia Bicicletta!

Last but not least, I am forever grateful to my bicycle. It may sound corny, but I love this simple and beautiful machine that has made my heart strong, my spirit soar, and connected me with amazing people, and gorgeous places. La Bicicletta has given me purpose, a business I love, and a life that is blessed with health and infinite joy. It’s very easy. Life is simply better when I am on my bike and with others who share my passion.

GRAZIE BICI!
