All you have to do is nail the descent

Going downhill is the fun bit, right?

The reward for all that time cursing and sweating and straining on the uphills.

But some people find descending really hard, and scary.

There are 3 key things that are going to help when the road goes downhill.

Look far down the road, don’t shorten your view to the few metres in front of you. This ensures that you are not surprised by anything coming, and you’re able to anticipate the corner.
When cornering, keep your outside leg straight and push into your outside pedal. This keeps the weight on the bike, increasing traction, and avoids the risk of pedal strike on the inside of the turn.
Break before the corner, and release the brakes as you ride through the turn. Again, this ensures that the bike is not “deweighting” as you are going through the corner, and avoids the risk of your tyres slipping out under braking as you turn.

Come with us on a Borne Cycling tour and we’ll give you all the coaching you need to enable you to nail all your alpine descents.

A Sanctuary for Sore Legs

Bormio isn’t just the gateway to the Stelvio and the Gavia—it’s an alpine sanctuary where the recovery is just as legendary as the climbs. Long before cyclists were grinding up 10% gradients, Roman aristocrats were making the trek to Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi to soak in the thermal waters. Today, those same baths remain the ultimate post-ride ritual for anyone looking to soothe their legs after a day in the high mountains.
The heart of the town beats in Piazza Cavour and along the narrow, cobblestoned Via Roma. Once a vital trade link between Venice and Switzerland, Bormio’s medieval core feels like a living museum. It’s the kind of place where you can lean your bike against a centuries-old stone wall while you sip an espresso and watch the locals go about their day.

Living the Olympic Legacy

Bormio recently featured on its biggest stage yet in February 2026, hosting the alpine skiing events for the Winter Olympics. Whether it’s on two wheels or two skis, this town is built for performance. Our hotel was situated at the foot of the Stelviopiste—the very run used for the medal-winning downhill charges you likely saw on TV earlier this year.

All you have to do is ride the dolomites

You really must … that’s all there is to it.

The photos and videos make it look incredible, but they are nothing compared to riding amongst these majestic mountains.

The entire Dolomite region is a cycling (and hiking) paradise, and becomes a true festival of cycling once a year centred around the Maratona dles Dolomites - ENEL sportive.

We’ve been running trips to the event for over 15 years now, and we love it so much we also take clients to the region outside of the week of the Maratona sportive.

If you like what you see, get in touch and let’s make your Dolomites dream come true.

A Borne Guide’s Summer (Part 3): L’Etape, and 2x Tour des France

Reflections, Memories, and Inner Peace

And here we are, in the middle of August, with the sun setting noticeably earlier.

My summer has started way before its official date, with grinding up Ventoux, and is slowly ending, still carrying fresh memories of all the events I did. Scattered memories, sometimes blurry, or sometimes overly descriptive. Just like the thoughts going through my mind when suffering either up the Giau, or any other gradient, on or off the saddle.

It seems to me that Pax (peace) is not only a reflection of global hopes but also of the hopes of each and every one of us – to be at peace with ourselves, or at least knowing we’re heading in a good direction. Something a GPS won’t point out, something we need to find within.

So, good luck to me, and us, and let’s see what that results in for next summer.

Our 2027 road cycling tour dates are out.

Highlights for next year include a new flexible training camp option in the French Alps, stay for 1 night or 3 weeks and join a group ride every day.

We’ve also got a tour planned around the Ventoux Gran Fondo in early June, as well as the historic Nove Colli Gran Fondo in Cesanatico on the Italian Adriatic coast.

Plus we’re offering a Classic Climbs of the Tour de France week, with 2 options: North to South and South to North. Ride multiple Tour de France classics in one week.

And let’s not forget the incredible Maratona dles Dolomites - with this year the option to keep the fun going with an mult-day extension in Bormio to ride the Stelvio, Gavia and Mortirolo.

So which do you fancy? Let us know in the comments if there’s anything else you’d like to do that we’ve missed out.

There is something magical about being on the bike, be it in the mountains, on a gravel track, or riding through the plains. The moments of quiet that we experience, often only broken by the sound of our breath, or the whirring of our freehub, are moments of pure joy.

This year we’ve been privileged to climb Mont Ventoux at sunrise, and every year we try to do at least one big early morning climb to catch what we think is often the best part of the day. No cars, only us and our bikes.

At Borne Cycling we plan our tours to take you to places that not everyone goes, or ensure that when we do ride those “famous” climbs, we try to make sure to ride them at quieter moments. Often it can feel like just us and the mountain.

Do you like riding early in the morning? What’s your favourite early morning route?

This week’s blog is a continuation of Jagoda’s posts about her summer of riding. This edition is focused on her week with us at the Maratona dles Dolomites.
The trip to Ventoux gave me both confidence and hunger for more. But what was next? July, which brought with it a packed schedule: the Maratona dles Dolomites, l’Etape du Tour, and both Tour de France (Hommes et Femmes) to spectate.

Well, where do I start with the Dolomites? I knew it was gonna be the highlight of the year well before it happened.

Pax (peace) was the main theme of the 39th edition of the Maratona. As much as it corresponds to global hopes, the Dolomites themselves bring a sense of peace. Arriving in Corvara transported us into another realm, where we could sit back & relax, or rather sit down & pedal (an active, more preferred alternative). Borne Cycling’s support means that all we need to do is pedal. But that often comes as a challenge itself, albeit a very rewarding one.

Corvara wakes up slowly day by day, transforming itself from a sleepy mountain village into a lycra-dressed, vibrant zone, full of hub-orchestra noise that is music to a cyclist’s ears. You are never alone on the road; there is just more and more of everything and everyone.
