Report

I started at 2:43 am and finished at 18:16 pm. I had 2 friends following me: one guiding me with a bike, water and energetic food, the other one by car. The one by car was in charge to prepare some extra food and drinks every 12-20k. We adapted some segments from the original road so that the bike could follow. In the end, the route was 140 km long, very flat terrain with long straight dirt tracks segments during midcourse 40k. The landscape is exceptional, many vineyards and little castle in the beginning, and pretty little villages all along the way. Conditions were ok until noon, when the burning sun started to strike. I strongly recommend other runner to try such an experience!
