Starting at the Brenner Pass on the border with Austria on September 5th we aim to reach the southern tip of Sicily near Portopalo di Capo Passero by September 23rd. Gybe Gilbert, Jeroen Markies, Peter Cross and Mark Sewell make up the team. So that's 2,000km (1,250 miles) and 14,000m (45,000 ft) to climb in 17 days, cycling 112km (70 miles/day). Should be fun!

2km to go
After peddling nearly 2000km it was a very strange feeling to be cycling through masses of abandoned greenhouses, seeking out the southern tip of Italy. Again, it was over 35 degrees and we were further south than Tunis and a few hundred miles from Libya. A long way from the Alps 18 days earlier.
