Gravel Magnifica! 

Italy’s Friuli region is a beautiful destination in the country’s northeastern area that blends history, culture, and excellent gravel roads to create the ultimate cycling paradise. Friuli provided the perfect backdrop to kindle the spirit of No Gods No Masters’ fall United We Are Gravel camp. A diverse group of women ages 30 to 65+gathered in Italy. They came from Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States with varied experience levels and backgrounds unified by the power of creating female-focused spaces.

“We paired off-road cycling to visit some of the amazing historical landmarks in the area, such as castles, Venetian villas, and historic towns.”
- Milly De Mori, NGNM Founder

The multi-day event balanced challenge and relaxation: Breakfast at 7 am, on bikes by 9 am. Each day’s ride finished around 2 pm with lunch, massage, and maybe a gelato for recovery. Throughout their journey, these kindred spirits forged powerful connections through rejuvenating lakeside yoga sessions, delving into the secrets of gravel cycling through conversation, and indulging in the rich tradition of aperitivo spritz libations.

Hammerhead proudly supports United We Are and No Gods No Masters, where gender equality and inclusivity are part of a larger story, one in which women find themselves claiming greater territory and embracing ever more formidable trials in the realms of cycling.
