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!

Day 17: Not so Scenic Sicily
A day of litter, grey skies, high humidity, mad driving, poor roads and oil refineries made for a tough ride. We cycled fast and got it done by 2pm. Now in Syracuse with a short ride to the finish tomorrow. We're all feeling emotionally quite drained although physically in good shape.
