Let's Go to Italy - Hummingbird Fuels Special Fun Rides

These special departures were born from a shared philosophy between CyclingHero and Hummingbird Fuels: that the most meaningful cycling experiences are built on authenticity, challenge, and discovery.

Hummingbird Fuels was founded by Lisa and her husband, a food scientist, out of their own long-distance riding. Lisa is not just the face of a brand. She is an accomplished endurance cyclist and randonneur who has completed legendary ultra-distance events such as Paris–Brest–Paris and the Midnight Sun 1200k across the Arctic Circle. Hummingbird Fuel was created to solve a real need: an easy to assimilate high-carbohydrate energy that works reliably on long, demanding rides.

CyclingHero shares that same rider-first ethos. Founded by cyclists and deeply rooted in the Italian cycling landscape, CyclingHero designs journeys that prioritize freedom, challenge, and genuine connection to the place they are riding.

This collaboration is a natural fit: two founder-led, cyclist-driven projects coming together to create something truly special. Lets go!

These exclusive departures take you through Italy's most inspiring and rewarding landscapes for cycling.

In Tuscany, ride endless white gravel roads through vineyards, forests, and medieval villages. This region is home to legendary events like the Eroica and embodies a culture of endurance, adventure, and joy on two wheels. Over seven days you’ll experience the punchy hills and quiet beauty of Tuscany’s remote roads.

In the Italian Alps, experience one of cycling’s ultimate bucket-list journeys: from the mesmerizing peaks of the Dolomites to the iconic switchbacks of the Stelvio Pass. With major elevation days and legendary climbs, this tour represents one of the most rewarding challenges a cyclist can undertake.

Lisa will be there riding with you, not leading from the front, but sharing the experience as a fellow endurance cyclist who understands both the physical and emotional rewards of these journeys. CyclingHero will be there and have your back for support and logistics.

Multi-day cycling at this level requires more than just fitness—it requires proper support and proper fuelling.

CyclingHero provides premium accommodations, seamless luggage transfers, expertly designed routes, and daily en route assistance. You ride independently, at your own pace, with the confidence that every logistical detail is handled by a team that lives and rides these roads.

At the same time, you’ll experience the fuelling philosophy behind Hummingbird Fuels—developed specifically for endurance cyclists tackling long distances and sustained climbing. Wholesome ingredients, high-carbohydrate energy, and a fuelling strategy refined through real ultra-distance riding help support consistent performance and recovery throughout the tour.

This combination of logistical excellence and performance nutrition creates the ideal environment to push your limits and recover quickly afterwards.

These special departures are designed for cyclists who seek authenticity, challenge, and deeper connection through riding.

This experience is ideal for riders who:

• Are comfortable with long days and meaningful climbing

• Dream of riding iconic gravel roads or legendary alpine climbs

• Value independence and freedom over structured group tours

• Want to improve their endurance through proper fuelling

• Appreciate premium support without sacrificing adventure

• Enjoy sharing the experience with like-minded cyclists

• Like to have fun

Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll be part of a unique, supportive environment shaped by people who truly live the endurance cycling lifestyle.

This is not a commercial group tour. It’s a shared journey built around the simple idea that the best cycling experiences are the ones you earn.
