Despite bad weather, it can have not only on the Tyrolean side counted 5500 bikers and cyclists to take, at the 10th Edition of the now known far and wide Radtages Stelviobike to be there. 1280 cyclists were on the side of Lombardy, and to around 250 on the Swiss side. It did not so much the time when the route was overcome by the individual, but much more to quell the desire for the blocked by 8.00 bis 16.00 clock streets with thousands of like-minded people, the path before.

Besides the "normal" bikers tandems, Facilities for Disabled wheels, trailer with a child or dog, roller skis, walkers and runners were on the road. Also Stani, one of our operations room, had taken the extra free Saturday to ride on the yoke. By Prad nearly 28 km and a vertical drop of 1868 m over 48 hairpins were overcome, and with a gradient of 9-11% on average. So respect! Cross the slope this year was probably more comfortable than the descent, which took many disguised heavily in attack. The weather was there anything that you could wish for. Start the morning still mild in Prato, then rain, then halfway up even sunshine and Franzenshöhe saw the gray end on. Just before the pass, then the cyclists emerged from the fog. Something cool but happy our cyclists came back to the hotel - not of course without the Stelvio Bike Jersey, now in white and green that you could buy in the target for only 10 €. Those who bought it down here in the village as part of the Bike Festival, had to shell out more for € 5. In any case, the evening had all the jerseys sold out and the great posters from the Bike Festival were sold out. We look forward to the 11th car-free cycling day in the next year, on 3 September 2011!!
