Turkey Trot Route

This is a social ride designed to bring riders together ahead of SPOKEN 2026.

While no one gets dropped intentionally, we do ask riders to arrive with a bicycle in good working order and the confidence to ride safely within a group.

Please remember:

• Spare tube and inflation device

• Water bottles

• Appropriate clothing for the forecast conditions

• Fully charged bike computer if using navigation

• A sense of humour

As part of the day, Alba Optics has generously provided photochromatic lens testers for riders wishing to experience them on the road. To grab a pair of tester glasses, please see Alison.

We're excited to show you our Italian cast of bicycles being presented at SPOKEN 2026, including Sarto, DeAnima, Cicli Barco, and Titici. This also happens to be the launch platform for 3 of 5 custom frames we present.

Our showcase website is still being refined, however we're pleased to already share an early preview on socials and are updating by the hour.

View the showcase

We're looking forward to seeing you on the start line.

Alison, Ben & David
