What Is Our Challenge Series?
Every year we arrange a cycling trip that allows you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone. We call it our Challenge Ride.
This isn't four days of non-stop maximum effort; instead, these trips allow you to push yourself on one or two challenging days, then we have the rest of the time to explore, enjoying a more relaxed route, coffee stops, evening celebrations and awards and of course some downtime to relax in the afternoons.
It's really our favourite way to see new places.

"Unlike many commercial cycling operators, the Njinga crew really make you feel like part of the family, which makes for a very relaxed time off the bike."

2025 Trip Highlights
Monte Grappa
Prepare to conquer the mighty Monte Grappa.
Enjoy the panoramic views of Italy that stretch as far as the eye can see on this legendary climb nestled in the heart of the Dolomites. With 11 unique options to summit it, this spectacular ascent boasts an average gradient of 8.1%, pushing you over 19 kilometres with a total elevation gain of 1,542 meters. At the summit, a giant memorial to fallen soldiers from the two great wars.
Prosecco Sportive
Gear up for a ride with a difference.
Join 4,000 riders on a 100km sportive that winds through the breathtaking Prosecco Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This closed-road event is unlike any other! Conquer rolling vineyards and lush countryside as you enjoy the only Gran Fondo where you refuel at the feed stations with prosecco and scampi.
Finally, celebrate your epic ride with a festive finish line party overflowing with tiramisu... and even more bubbles.

Gourmet Italian Cuisine
Savour the true taste of Italy.
Italy is known for it's mouth watering fresh cuisine and this area offers some of the finest seasonal farm to table options. Explore some of the local agriturismos for lunch before heading back at night to dine on authentic and delicious dinners, made only like mama can, and all washed down with a chilled bottle of bubbly.
"You are way above the rest on attention to details and full on support both on and off the bike. I made the best decision, from the minute I got off the plane the people were lovely and the atmosphere was so welcoming from everyone. The rides were hard but fun. And I felt I accomplished what I’d set out to do. It was a super 4 days away."
