June 1 - 6:

Bike Track Test: Munich - Milan

The route we’ll be taking

The programme

Six days, 610 kilometers, one shared passion: cycling.

A special Bike Track Test has been scheduled for June 1–6 for a group of cycling enthusiasts who will test the feasibility of an extraordinary route: from Munich to Milan.

A unique test

A test designed not only to tackle the distance and challenges of the route but, above all, to gain experience in organizing a large-scale cycling tour, assessing its route, limitations, and strengths, as well as the availability of dedicated services.

An international network of connections and friendships

Local guides and support vehicles will accompany the participants, but above all, there will be meetings with sports groups, local officials, and associations to discuss ways to improve the route, as well as proposals and solutions to any problems encountered. Above all, the Bike Track Test will serve to build relationships and foster collaboration among individuals, associations, and institutions, thereby facilitating the full completion of the route.

Das Detail

The Bike Track Test is not just a sporting adventure: it is also a strong message to public institutions, aimed at promoting the creation and development of a bike path connecting the major cities of northern Italy with Austria and Germany
