We already knew that 2010 was going to be huge with the Giro passing right through Castelcucco, finishing a stage in Asolo, and finishing with a TT in Verona, but each week sees more events piling on!
Starting on June 19 (with amateur events) and wrapping up on June 27 (with the Men’s Pro race), the Italian National Championships will be in our backyard at Conegliano.

The main climb of the course, the Ca’ del Poggio, is basically at the far end of the Canal Ride, and we’ll surely make a detour to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves. Pat found video from the 2009 Giro that shows it may be short, but it’s not easy – especially 11 times like they’ll do in June.
And now, the Giro d’Italia Femminile (Giro Donne), will also have two stages in our backyard this July. The second stage from Sacile finishes 15kms away in Riese Pio X on July 3. The next day is a 17km TT starting in Caerano San Marco, heading up to Cornuda, and finishing back in Biadene.

And this is all, of course, in addition to the usual events, like UDACE racing, and the Gran Fondo Damiano Cunego on June 6, the Gran Fondo dei 7 Comuni Rigoni di Asiago on June 13, the Gran Fondo Sportful (Campagnolo) on June 20, Sella Ronda Bike Day on June 27, the Gran Fondo Monte Grappa on July 4, and of course la Pinarello (Gran Fondo Pinarello) on July 18.
Ci vediamo presto!!
