The organizers of the 1001 Miglia (1001 Miles, 1600Km), Europe's longest randonee, scheduled for 17 to 23 August are happy with the number of early registrations thusfar. 152 participants are now registered representing Italy, USA (2), Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain, Austria, Ireland, Denmark, France, Jamaica, and Israel. 3 women are represented in the early registrants.
A good reason to come to Italy and ride that randonee bike.
