This is the fourth Straumann Charity Bike Ride in support of The Mouth Cancer Foundation and in some ways certainly the most memorable, full of interest and incident.
The ambitious course of 500 miles in five days from Lake Garda via Siena and Florence to Rome certainly set some challenges with the Dolomites as one of the principle obstacles along the way. We began our journey from the very lovely town of Trento set in the south Tyrol at the north end of Lake Garda, after flying into Verona. The route, had been mapped out, as is the norm by Just Pedal, who also accompanied and assisted the riders.
