Last year they cycled 800 kms in temperatures hovering around 43 degrees as the pair cycled down to Cyprus, this year they have chosen what could be an event more difficult way to pass the summer months – Stefano Elmi and Oriano Gigli are cycling from London to Barga and we will be following them (via the internet) every kilometre of the way.
The first week of the tour from London to Barga is now over.
The pair are now in central France after cycling a grand total of 705 kms from Finsbury Park, London to Bourges.
Today is a rest day .

Ieri tappona da tour de france piatta e caldissima da dormita in poltrona 7,30 ore ci abbiamo messo.
in bici ti rendi conto molto di piu del clima che cambia…dal freddo e umido atlantico al caldo torrido dell interno. Dai campi verdi con le mucche ai campi bruciati dal sole e pieni di capannoni industriali….
riprenderemo domani sulla strada verso Moulins poi Roanne Lyon Grenoble Gap.
Oggi festa.
