Together with my two friends Felix and Roland I set off for Rimini. There we are participants in the 9th Transitalia Marathon.
www.transitaliamarathon.com
This extends over 4 days with a total distance of around 1,000km, with around 70% of it being on unpaved roads.
Navigation is done via roadbook.
(If you don't want or can't do that, you can also get a GPX track as an alternative,
to use this with a navigation system.)
Since this is our first time taking part, we are very excited
what will await us.
This first episode is all about the arrival and personal acclimatization on site.
STAGE 1 - Rimini - Città the Castello
The wait is finally over! We start the first stage of the Transitalia Marathon.
