So this will be running not cycling? The running will go to the benefit of helping to give 200 bicycle away. Great idea!
Haha very funny BgKirk, maybe there will be some cyclo cross stages.
To MichaelY, this race is on at the same time as the Tour of Catalunya so not likely to be any names.
Anyone yet know the definitive route? Is this coming to Fez or not?
Sandy, start only 3 days away, anything yet on the route (is it coming to Fes?) and any news on teams and riders
Thanks
Michael
