Tina Baltzer
Lifesparkz Bike Tours was founded by Tina Baltzer in 2016 out of a passion for sharing and promoting cyclism in the Nice region. She is the organiser of tours and guides easy and medium sportive rides as well as leisure/touristic tours.
Tina comes from Denmark, where you learn to ride a bike nearly as soon as you learn how to walk. Tina got her first bike, when she was 2-years old. She has been riding a bike almost every day since, although she did not get her first racer bike until 2008. She has spent many hours on racer- and triathlon bikes in France, Denmark and Spain.
Tina enjoys having an active life and has spent some years 2013-2018 training for and doing triathlons. 2018 has been devoted to Cyclosportives in the region: Paris-Nice Challenge and the MercanTour Turini, both with classic climbing and stunning views on the routes.
The 2019 season will be devoted to cycling and no more triathlons! Perhaps even learning some MTB.
Finisher in 2018 of Ironman 70,3 Nice, in 2017 of Ironman 70,3 Barcelona and 70,3 Elsingore. She has made it to the finish line at Ironman France in 2016, Ironman Copenhagen in 2014 and 2015, plus a number of more Ironman 70,3 distances.
Languages: English, Danish (native),(Swedish/Norwegian) and French

One of my favourite local rides is up to the village Peille - Cycling circa 25 km from Nice, up some 650 meters climb and find this magic place where time seems to stand still. In a few hours of cycling from the busy Côte d'Azur you find these spots full of beauty and tranquility. Quality of life is having the freedom to ride your bike and feel life in your veins as you climb into these majestic mountains: Les Alpes-Maritimes.
