Intro

When you decide to start a ride of over 9’200km with destination the Westernmost point of Europe, it means taking into account unexpected events, unfavorable weather (it rained, it snowed, etc. etc.), even very long stages (longest 1’100km in 1 day), wake up at 3 am, tiredness and pain.

But do we really care? No! For me it was just the unforgettable and memorable part that I expected to experience that prompted me to plan, leave and keep the schedule that I had prepared from the very first moment when, in December, I looked at the map of Europe and I said to myself “I want to go there”.
