Ilibike Cycling Club begins a new chapter in Elche
As reported earlier, the Ilibike Cycling Club formed in 2018 from a group of cycling enthusiasts who love both road and mountain riding. The club was created with the aim of coordinating trips with other cycling groups or clubs at any time of day, guided by the idea that a cyclist should never ride alone again. This philosophy remains a guiding principle for the club and its members.
At the club’s inaugural event, more than 150 mountain bikers and about thirty road cyclists shared the route that culminated at the club’s headquarters in the La Galia area. The event showcased a spirit of inclusivity and community that characterizes Ilibike from its start and continues to influence its activities today.
