Granfondo Stelvio Santini: 4-8 June 2015
Set up by a team of cycling enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Bike 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer.
We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
The Gran Fondo Stelvio 2015
For many cyclists, the L'Étape du Tour is the ultimate test. But that's because they haven't heard of the Granforno Stelvio!
The Stelvio Pass is an iconic climb in Italy and arguably the most famous in the Giro d'Italia. It was once described by Lance Armstrong as the "toughest hill I have ever climbed."
Now it's time for you to do battle with the Stelvio (2,758m) from the Bormio side in partnership with our friends at 5034 Events.
Dates
We will be having a four day trip from 4/6/2015 (outbound) - 8/6/2015 (return). We always have 60 places booked for this event by default and these go quickly.
The Routes
This event covers three distances 60Km, 131Km and 151Km. All three routes finish at the top of the Stelvio Pass, so there's a distance for everybody!
