IT008 - ITALY / APULIA

TRAVEL AND DISCOVER That’s what a bike tour should be all about: love every kilometre, challenge yourself, immerse yourself in the local culture, let the unexpected surprise you. And if it’s all organised for you, it gets even easier: we’ll sort out the route, the bike, the hotels, the info.

FORGET HOW FAR YOU HAVE TO GO It’s a holiday, not a race. Ride at your own pace, appreciate what’s around you, soak up the views, and... stop whenever you want: we won’t tell anyone! Take time to snap a shot: viewing your photos will be the best cure for those Back Home Blues! And you can always take part in the Girolibero Photo Competition to win a 300 € tour voucher.
