Reconstructing the cycling land & young cyclists hopes.

Ciao a tutti,

During the month of the rainy Giro d’Italia, we also been really busy back home due to the deadly floods where families and businesses were destroyed by the force of nature. Some of our staff lost everything and also local cycling, triathlon clubs.

One of our closes to the heart is the youth team S.C. Faentina, where their playground and club house has been under water for days damaging the building, the store and its all contents. Including bikes, training accessories and clothing.

We are already supporting the team with hands on the deck and not only that. If you want to join us in supporting them see the details below.

Histria, Istria the Croatian Peninsula

The beautiful Istria ,carries an immense amount of history that could be read while sitting on the beach, or disperse on the top of a small bar drinking coffee in the beautiful town Groznjan overlooking the panoramic views across the Mirna Valley.

Cycling through the cobble streets of Groznjan.

Few months ago I was out riding in Italy, cycling through the hills with a nice group of people from various part of Europe. Along this group there were Julius & Luka.

Julius from Austria & Luka from Istria were also invited to join in for a weekend of cycling and to share beautiful rides that we all have taken around the globe.

During the rides I discovered that both of them are working together in a cycling event the Istria 300 which take place in October every year. They decided to invite me over anytime to go and visit Istria. I was in Italy few weekends ago and decided to drive for few hours and spare a bit of time discover the beautiful area.

I was flabbergasted by the welcoming of the people along the various town we rode through, the amazing food which reminded me of Italy. I am talking the amazing olive oil grown there, truffle found in the forests which covers Istria,, the home made produced cured meats & cheeses, then to finish off with the fish & meat delicacies combined with the lovely wine from the area also.

Riding through old railway line.

I stop here now because I don’t want to spoil you. I strongly advise you to stop wondering which event and where to go this year in October for a long weekend. Just register yourself at Istria 300, it is a great event that you will be able to do all of the above while also relaxing by the sea, you can benefit a discount if you type “SADDLEDRUNK“ for entering the event.

There will be many of us there, join in the fun and get ready for a great weekend on 2 wheels.
