We deserve a day off after a few hard days of riding before taking on the last challenge of the Gran Fondo Roma.
Enjoy and relax in the eternal city after a quick visit to the GF Roma Village to register for the event. |
Gran Fondo Roma
Departure: Rome
Arrival: Rome Distance: 121 km / 76 mi Elevation gain: 1700 m / 5700 ft Probably no even the inhabitants of Rome themselves have ever had the honour of riding between the Colosseum and Imperial Forum without motor vehicles speeding all around, as could only happen a very, very long time ago. This honour is reserved exclusively for participants in this event… don't know if we will manage to conquer Rome, but in the end I am quite certain Rome will have conquered us!
