Veranstaltungsdetails
The nights are getting longer and the temperatures have also dropped dramatically. Clear signs of the approaching fall. The pros are focusing on the World Championships in Zurich before their season officially comes to an end with the last monument on the cycling calendar: "Il Lombardia". The 118th edition of the "Classica delle foglie morte" (race of the falling leaves) leads from Como to Bergamo over 238 kilometers. Tadej Pogačar has won the last three editions. The Slovenian phenomenon is getting ever closer to record winner Fausto Coppi. Coppi won the race four times in a row, in 1946, '47, '48 and '49, before finishing it off with a final victory in '54. Pogačar is capable of breaking this record.
For us, it's not about records, but about community and fun on the bike. On our "Ride Of The Falling Leaves", we will be reeling off a much smaller program, but we still want to be challenged. As usual, we are aiming for around 120 kilometers and 2000 meters in altitude. Light gravel is of course also part of our program. And easy in this context means that the short segments can also be easily ridden on a road racing bike. After all, we want to enjoy our time together on the bike. After the ride, there are tasty refreshments, drinks and of course our sauna is also open again. And not to forget: The final stage of the race will be shown on the screen.
We will meet on Saturday, October 12, at 8.30 a.m. at Kasernenstrasse 32. The early start should allow us to watch the public screening after our ride.
