Day 4:
It's starting to get boring :-). At 8.30 we'll be outside the gate of the old monastery again to guide you on another beautiful ride through the Tuscan hills with the finish in Murlo. Your bike might start to rattle from all that gravel. And that's why we brought a mechanic. Make use of it! On day four another ride with a lot of gravel, no less than 65% unpaved!

On the last day we wish all our guests a successful journey back home.
For Strade Bianche Trail we expect you to be in good shape. Participants must be able to cycle 60-90 km with 1,500 meters of elevation every day. This requires good preparation. But don't be afraid to take on the challenge. We have the whole day and on the way we will stop for a nice cup of coffee and enjoy a nice lunch!
– Is a medical certificate required for this trip?
To be allowed to participate in this trip, participants do not need to be in possession of a medical certificate. It is wise to check well before the trip (6 months) by means of an effort test whether you are in good health. Such an effort test also provides insight into the training work that must be delivered in order to start the trip in good condition.
Participants have the option to be guided for 3 months through an exercise test and training schedule. The training guidance is optional. Inquire about the possibilities: gv@cyclosportive.nl.
