Ancient History Didn't Start in Rome. Discover It on This Women's Expedition Through Dusty Roads in Tuscia.
This isn't the Italy behind velvet ropes. This is Tuscia - where the Etruscans ruled before Rome existed, where ancient stone villages sit untouched, and where gravel roads wind through landscapes that feel like yours alone.
Rougher around the edges. Smaller crew (10-12 max). Less luxury, more freedom. You’ll ride hard, eat well, share laughs, and leave knowing you’ve experienced something real. Ready to ride through history?

Luxury isn’t five stars. It's time to ride in nature and leaving the familiar behind to discover places most never will.
UWAG-EX Tuscia offers something rare: the balance of nature, ancient history, remote landscapes, rolling hills, and culture woven into one expedition.
It's designed for women who feel that pull - the one that says there's a dimension of yourself waiting to be reconnected with, and it only comes alive in places like this, with women on the same wavelength.
Wild over Polished
No polished itineraries. Just wild gravel, ancient trails, and the kind of riding that reminds you why you started gravel in the first place. To get reconnected to yourself via nature. Ride past Etruscan tombs, Roman ruins, and medieval villages that tourists never see. This is where Italy's story actually began.
Stay & Finish Together Philosophy
Each pace group rides at its own speed, but we all finish together. Because this is about shared triumph, not individual competition. We value camaraderie and acts of care over scoring your next KOM.
Unique Sites & Experiences
Carefully crafted routes take you through the best this region offers. You’ll stay in 3-star hotels, enjoy traditional Roman cuisine, gelato, and wine, and dive into cultural experiences that make this more than a cycling tour—it’s a full Italian immersion.
Post ride Yoga
Dust off the day with a yoga and stretching session to prep the body for the next cycling day. Bring your mat if you feel like joining in.
2 Pace Groups
10-12 women max. No crowds. No chaos. Just deep connections with riders who get it.We'll most likely divide ourselves into 2 pace groups, so that each one can ride at their own pace, without the pressure of keeping up.Dusty, not overly technical, beautiful. You'll earn every view and every gelato stop!
Solo Travelers Welcome
Most of our riders come alone. They leave with lifelong friends and stories they'll tell for years because there are no winners or losers.
UWAT is about a NON-COMPETITIVE - FRIENDLY spirit.
Support When You Need It
We’ll have a support vehicle for luggage, mechanical backup, and a mid-ride feed station - but on the bike, you’ll ride mostly self-supported. Our experienced guides keep the group safe, flowing, and having fun.
Designed by Women who Ride
Every detail is designed around you. Vegan, GF, or vegetarian? No problem. Just let us know in advance.
This isn't just a cycling holiday. It’s an adventure into a little-known land that everyone falls in love with.

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Petra
UWAG-EX 2025
An ideal vacation for those of us who need a break from logistics planning, love being on the bike, love being in nature, and enjoy being with others who feel the same.
The memories that will stay with me are the like-minded ladies I‘ve met from around the world, and connections and friendships formed. The support and companionship. The feeling of being out in nature the entire day. The light of Finnish summer. This is what I will keep with me through the dark days of winter ahead and beyond.
Caterina
UWAG-EX 2025
It's great when I don't have to organize anything for five days and can trust that we'll all be perfectly taken care of and that we'll go on wonderful tours together.
Ashley
UWAG 2025
"The community and bonding that comes so easily with NGNM/UWAG guides & staff is probably the top thing that brings me back. Pair that with riding bikes and it's extra great!The routes this year, while challenging were a great way to expose people to the variability of what gravel riding really is which I enjoyed.The support and flexibility of NGNM staff and guides to accommodate and adjust to our needs from a riding perspective is sincerely appreciated as it allowed everyone to still really enjoy their time at camp.
Susan
UWAG-EX 2025
NGNM’s organization is impeccable. I find riding with only women very relaxing, and the style and motto of NGNM perfectly represent the spirit of the group. I love cycling with women because there’s more camaraderie and less competition.
Annalisa
UWAG-EX 2025
The memories that will stay with me are certain rides with an amazing scenery and the sight of this group of women chatting and laughing together!
Imke
UWAG-EX 2025
Reconnect with yourself and with pure feminine power. Let your strength unfold through the deep connection to other warm-hearted women! You will experience how overcoming challenges in nature together on a bike will unleash your potential that you didn't know you had.
NORTHERN LAZIO & THE LAKES
Gravel cycling in Tuscia, also known as Northern Lazio, is a journey through water, stone, and time. Routes weave between three volcanic lakes—Bracciano, Vico, and Bolsena—past ancient remains that still whisper of Etruscan and Roman civilizations. Stone villages perch on hilltops, watching over wild natural landscapes where traffic fades, and quiet roads take over.
The course criss-crosses and rides sections of the Francigena road that connects Acquapendente to Rome. The terrain is mostly smooth and compact, rolling hills, with occasional chunkier stretches, cobbled remnants of old roads, and playful singletracks that keep the ride adventurous.
It’s gravel riding at its most scenic, soulful, and unexpectedly wild, blending ancient ruins, breathtaking viewpoints, and echoes of old civilizations.
Ride Care-Free x 4 Days
This is an expedition-style cycling trip that trades excess luxury for real freedom — but it’s never bikepacking. We take care of every detail, so you can let go completely. No planning. No logistics. No mental load. Just you, your bike, and the open roads of Tuscia.
Each day, you’ll ride from hotel to hotel through wild landscapes and ancient villages, knowing your luggage is waiting, your meals are sorted, and support is always there if needed. Post-ride stretching, two pace groups, and cozy 3★ hotels - all handled.
Your only job? Smile, breathe, and enjoy the ride.
Camaraderie
We always ensure that the same NGNM spirit that you find on our rides and multi-day events is the same, and UWAG-EX is no different.
There are no winners or losers.
This is a NON COMPETITIVE - NO DROP gravel group ride where we can all shine with the highest spirit of camaraderie, supporting each other through each ride in a welcoming and safe environment.
Everyone is contributing in the group riding experience watching eachother's back and helping those in need for a wheel. We're a smaller group of approx 10 riders, and we'll try to set a pace for everyone to keep, most probably split into 2 separate groups.
Think of social and spontaneous type of riding. Most importantly we try to have fun!
Post-ride yoga sessions
Days on the saddle will be long, as we'll take our time to stop for pics & gelato, visit some of the amazing historical sites, and soak in the beauty.
Weather permitting, we can squeeze in half an hour of group stretching and mobility exercises at the end of the day, guided by the Dynamic Cyclist App.
Take a soft travel yoga mat with you, or use a shower towel for support.

Is it Right For Me?
UWAG - EX is a gravel camp for women with medium+ experience in gravel cycling.
Because this expedition-style experience offers fewer services and comforts than our classic United We Are Gravel camps and tours, participants should be fit, confident riding gravel in remote areas, capable of handling minor mechanical issues, and comfortable with long hours in the saddle.
We ride in a small crew of 10 riders plus 1–2 guides, usually split into two groups. No-drop, always.
Daily elevation is significant—740 to 1,400m—with some punchy climbs. Days will be long, with stops to explore the many archaeological and architectural treasures along the route.
Train for it. You’ll be glad you did.
Mixed Terrain!
UWAG-EX TUSCIA explores the best of Northern Lazio. Expect ~90 km per day with 800–1,400 m of climbing on rolling terrain and punchy ramps into ancient hilltop towns (yes, they’re all up there 😉). Surfaces shift from compact and loose gravel to chunkier sections, ancient Roman cobblestones, singletrack, and asphalt.38–40 mm tires recommended.
Routes weave through remote landscapes, vineyards, olive groves, and open fields, with ancient villages for coffee stops and a mid-ride feed station to refuel. You’ll often ride within sight of water, with Lakes Bracciano, Bolsena, and Vico along the way.
Navigation is seamless with Hammerhead Karoo, easy route-following, with demo units available to try on request.
Not sure if this camp is for you? Email us — we’ll gladly talk it through together.
Traveling on your own?
No problem! Traveling alone or joining a group of strangers can feel intimidating, but that’s exactly why this is a women-only, inclusive, and friendly adventure. Even if you come solo, you’ll never ride solo—and by the end, you’ll leave with new friends and a bigger cycling family.
We've set the spirit of our camps to allow everyone to cycle in an inclusive and friendly environment and meet a diverse international community of cyclists.
Want to dip your toes in first? Join our weekly rides on Zwift, Women Crush Weds! You'll virtually meet some of the participants and experience the No Gods No Masters riding spirit ahead of the trip.
Join us for new goals, new friendships, and a renewed spirit!
