It's not a race, the ideal bike is debatable, there's plenty of chance to go off-route or take a shortcut and there's no rules or expectations apart from Rule #1. "The First" suggests there will be a second.. Let's see how year one works out. We could have a series of rally patches in a few editions' time.

It's a nice ride on tarmac and easy gravel roads, generally high up with great views. It's intended as a pleasant way to finish the season, a social as much as a self-supported ride. If you did decide to TT it'll be a challenge, it's not an easy 700km considering the non-technical terrain. There's a fair bit of of climbing to reach those high-altitude cols and tracks.

Food and coffee en-route is first class as you would expect in Italy and France.

Full route files and cues due out in the summer.

if you send over some Airline tickets I'd love to do that ride.  Saw your pics's on Flickr and it looked fantastic.
