Do you remember how someone made you close your eyes when you were little and when you opened them again, there was a surprise waiting for you? What would today\u2019s version be? If you were to close your eyes and keep them closed until you were at the best place for road cycling in the world \u2013 where would it be? We can tell you: in the Kaunertal Valley in Tyrol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI knew that two girls were coming to Austria from Czechia and I wanted to surprise them,\u201d says 26-year-old Nora Turner, a cyclist from Vienna. \u201cI\u2019ve put together a list of the best places, both those I\u2019ve been to and those I\u2019ve always wanted to visit, and two stood out: Kaunertaler Strasse and K\u00fchtai. Two destinations in two days were awaiting us. So we could make it everywhere safely and on time, we had the brand-new, fully electric \u0160koda ENYAQ iV<\/a> at our disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tereza Unzeitigov\u00e1 and Alice Nos\u00e1kov\u00e1 have come to meet Nora in the mountains. Both girls are members of the Girls on Bikes club, which aims to make cycling more accessible to women and show them that bikes aren\u2019t just for men. The club, founded by Czech cyclist Jana Tr\u00e1vn\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1, has been active mostly in the past year, during which the members have organised collective rides through Czech mountain ranges. But today, Tereza\u2019s and Alice\u2019s destination is the Tyrolean Alps, which takes six hours of driving to reach \u2013 on one battery charge. Their bikes are hoisted on a rack hooked to a towbar behind the car.<\/p>\n

The first time they meet Nora is at a chalet. After the initial shy small talk is over, it\u2019s obvious that they are all on the same page and, what\u2019s more, all of them are in a pretty similar shape, which is confirmed on the short introductory ride.<\/p>\n
