Riders of the Road Bike Tour 2006 in Strasbourg
7 In 2006 a group of Italian cyclists with diabetes has reached a great goal: to go from Italy to Holland by bike in just 7 days. Well, I was there between them! A new positive message has toured Europe, and it was a victory achieved on diabetes: a fantastic experience. The European adventure of crossing was part of the Changing Diabetes campaign: further information on the site of the Road Bike Tour 2006 .
After two years I picked up the diary I wrote in those days, I've reorganized and placed it right, ready for publication: it is downloadable below. I think it's important to spread as much as possible such experiences, not to forget, not to dispose of their labors, and since they can be an inspiration to many others. Think of those days the emotions are still strong: even the effort was so much! But the awareness of doing something important, along with a group of friends in my same situation, had given me the inner strength to continue and ride with all the effort possible.
