Well done Chris van Zyl
Our man of few words completed the Giro Ciclistico Delle Repubbliche Marinare during the first week of June 2016. He cycled around Italy, starting on Sunday 29 May 2016 and finishing on Saturday 4 June 2016 – completing 2200kms in 136 and a half hours.

According to the website there were just under 50 entries, and from what we’ve gathered around 40 starts, with half of the field finishing the event. A long ride indeed – and only a handful of entries from outside of Europe.
