For the 14th consecutive year, members of the HSS family participated in a European cycling tour. This year’s destination was the majestic Dolomites, just north of Milan, Italy, where Team HSS climbed more than 30,000 feet over five days, covering more than 200 miles. The team donned a special jersey decorated with the Edelweiss, the official flower of the Italian Dolomites, in loving memory of a participant from prior trips.
