The Tour
|
Each participant can cycle the stages
at his/her own pace. You can choose to cover the
distance in a more or less relaxing way with exploring
the local villages,
photo stops at every chosen moment, a well deserved
break on a terrace or a visit to the gelateria. Alternatively, you can try to cover
the distance as fast you can.
We advise you to bring a GPS which has the option to
upload files. It is a very helpful device to find the
correct way without looking at detailed maps or an
overload of instructions. |

Support
Vehicles
|
The journey is supported by two
vehicles. One vehicle brings the luggage to the next
place, so you don't have to carry luggage on your bike.
The other vehicle gives support on the road and provides
the lunch half way the stage.
The cyclists who are not able to ride, or cannot finish
the stage, have always the possibility to take a seat in
one of the support vehicles. We will take care that
everyone arrives at the finish location before the
evening. |
| |
Food
|
The hotels provide every day an
extensive breakfast. During cycling stages we offer
halfway a tasty lunch and we make sure that you can
recover at the end of the stage with some refreshments.
Next to that we provide fruit, energy drinks and energy
bars.
We have 10 times dinner together at the hotel after the
stage. The other 3 evenings on cycling days, and the two
rest days you have the opportunity to explore and sample
the local cuisine on your own.

Accommodation
|
| You stay the whole journey in hotels.
The night before the start and after the finish you stay
in the same hotel in Verona. |
| |
Participants
|
The number of participants is
limited due to organizational reasons. For people from
all over the world it is possible to sign up for the
tour.
The tour is open for men and women with an age between
16 and 67. Everyone with a good health and passion for
cycling can finish the journey in a normal way. |
| |
Non-Cyclists
|
It is an
option to join as non-cycling participant, which means
that you can take a seat in one of the support vehicles.
You make the same journey as the cycling participant,
it's only not on the bike.
You can help the other crew with shopping, prepare the
lunch halfway or help in the kitchen; but first of all :
you must enjoy the journey. We will not asked you to
help. It's all up to yourself if you want to help. We
prefer that all participants ( and especially the
non-cyclists ) visit the local towns and villages where
we stay, in stead of chopping carrots.
The registration and Entry Fee is similar as for cyclists.
