The 2019 Strade Bianche – Our weekend at Europe’s most southern northern classic

Image
Here at Sports Tours International we are mad about the one day classics and we couldn’t wait for the cycling season to get on the way again in 2019. We came straight from the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in Belgium to Tuscany for what we consider to be one of the highlights of the entire year, the fabulous Strade Bianche. 2019 UCI World Tour review Our Cycling Guides and Pro Mechanics Howard McAlpine and Ed Beckmann share their experience at the 2019 Strade Bianche Friday 8 th  March 19’ – Arrival Day As part of our service, we provide airport transfers from Pisa airport.

For this June’s event we have received confirmation of four runners travelling to run and meet Ron Hill MBE, our Ambassador, from Berlin in Germany. Actually from Ron Hill AC Berlin! Their running club was formed in the late 1980’s after the unification of East and West Germany when one of the clubs founding members bumped into Ron and asked if he would kindly...
