Strava

https://instagram.com/stravacycling/

If you’re a Strava addict, you’ll want to follow its Instagram page for more behind-the-scenes stuff from the company that made segments and kom common words amongst cyclists

L’Eroica was first run in 1997 as a protest of sorts against the inexorable tide of progress, represented in this case by the paving of Chianti’s innumerable dirt roads. Dirt is a relative term for the road surfaces here – some are in pristine, hard-packed, almost pavement-like condition; while others are rough, strewn with large rocks, prone to tire sucking sands, and are altogether violent, unforgiving stretches of “road.” So, strade bianche seems more accurate – white roads. With so many different possibilities on each stretch of road, the only thing they all have in common is their sun-blasted whiteness. #StravaStories #LEROICA words and images by @jeredgruber and @ashleygruber.
