:: Practical info
 

When you are packing your suitcase do not bring along CO2 cartridges. We have seen people who have not received their luggage when arriving in Milan because of that.

It will be a good thing to bring along a small piece of multitool on the tours together with an extra tube and some extra patches. Also remember to bring along your healthinsurrancecard. It is also a good idea to bring along 20€ if you need to make a phonecall or you want to buy a souvenir.

All guest will be equipped with a small laminated card showing the daily tours and phone number to the guides, addresses to the hotels etc.

We expect that you and your bicycle is well prepared for the tour. That means that the bike is equipped with new tires, chain and cassettes. We recommend that you use Compact chainrings or triple and that the cassette has a gearing not to be higher than 12-27. Before the tour we expect that you within the last 6 months have  driven at least 3000 miles.

Bring along small lights, (LED type) for the tour. Not because we are driving at nights but just as a precausion when we are driving through tunnels. Do not drive with patches on your tubes when you start on the tours and try to avoid carbonrims where the brakearea is of carbon.

You have to bring along cykel clothing to all kinds of weather. We can expect weather conditions where the temperature can be 35 plus degree Celsius but we have also on the same tours been in the mountains where the temperature next day could be around 0 degree Celsius.

Naturally we will bring you weatherinfo every evening so you can be prepared for what to wear and what you need to bring along in the servicecars.

In the servicecar we also have extra wheelsets for both Campagnolo and Shimano. We also have extra tubes, tires and some tools if that should be necessary. Tires and tubes will be sold to very low prices.

From Milan (Malpensa),  airport we have around 4 hours of driving in a bus to Caprile
