There is nothing like the pleasure of exploring new locations and embarking on challenging rides, no matter the distance or elevation gain. Even better if done together with like-minded friends who are also passionate about spending long days on the saddle, and arriving home with an eye-opening experience in the bag, like a new chapter in an unfinished book.
Among the Giants, organized by Raw Cycling Magazine, is a bike trip with an alternative format. Influential cyclists and representatives of top-level brands get together in an incomparable setting to curate a story about cycling and its inherent highs and lows.

Among the Giants 7:
Durmitor Quest
Montenegro, and more concretely the Durmitor National Park. The Balkan country features rugged terrain, ideal for outdoor sports, and many of the highest mountains are located in Durmitor, which is one of the five national parks. There are 48 peaks above 2.000 meters of elevation, although the highest road tops at 1.907 meters.

Among the Giants 6:
The Beloved Land
Each ride will feature at least one major climb and yes, the mighty Angliru will be in the mix. El Gamoniteiru and Puerto de Cubilla are not very well known outside the region, but after taking a look at the view and hearing the comments of locals, we are sure they will be as beautiful and tough as the main climbs of past editions.

Among the Giants 5:
The French Alps
Some days ago, between September 5th and 9th, we gathered again to participate in what would be the fifth edition of Among the Giants. This time, coming full circle around the Alps mountain range, we set our base camp in Montgenèvre.

“I had an amazing four days with you, an absolute trip of cycling. I was worried it would be hard to fit in with the group, but you made me feel welcome right from the start. Thanks for that. I loved how the simplicity of the organization made everyone
come together and connect. I hope to be able to ride with all of the participants again in the future. Thank you for showing me around this beautiful area, and hopefully see you
soon.”

“If you think of it, it’s kind of amazing how this group of initial strangers I met one Monday evening in Montgenèvre degenerated into a close group of friends within just three days. Well, actually not ‘just’ three days. I mean, three days in which we shared 380 kilometers and suffered almost 10.000 meters of elevation gain on our bikes. I’ll tell you, things like that create bonds. I got to know a whole bunch of wonderful, like-minded people and created this foundation for friendships that will last for a lifetime.”
