to finish&#8230;as we had started in Venice, with a thunderstorm!!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, a simply stunning, awe inspiring, mind blowing and life changing experience. The ride in its entirety was about 1330km and well over 22,000 vertical metres of climbing over 13 riding days with out any of the extra challenges. No-one managed to ride every kilometre for various reasons, but I did manage 1210km and 1960 vert metres, which I was extremely happy with. Moreover, we rode through Italy, Austria, Germany and France. slept in castles, ate amazing food, experienced stunning scenery and made great friends. It really was an Odyssey and we are all very grateful to Sam and his team for such a enriching experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last riding day had finally arrived.
