  • Name of rider: Mei Anna
  • Start date: oct 4th , 8:20 AM
  • Exact start location: The start line is close to the ancient door of San Marino, called La Porta di San Francesco, where there is the police little station.
  • What where the conditions like: weather condition quite good: sunny day, not too hot, with a little bit of wind, of course on the front.
  • Why did you want to do a record: fundraising for epidermiolisi bullasae, a terrible and rare skin disease., to let the people know the butterfly children exist.
  • Equipment: I have been using both of my bikes, road one on hills, TTone on flat. Nothing special.
  • Eat and drink: I had some fruits, like banana’s, pears, sandwiches with ham or tuna fish. Gels and protein bars. Lollipops to let me dry my throat.
  • Best part: the end of both of them. I arrived in Roma so so fast….it has been amazing!! The arrive in San Marino, after that incredible ascent and +600k and +5500mt of elevation gain.
  • Hardest part: well we had bad bad road condition close to Todi and in Umbria region: it was like to ride my bike in a desert rock, pushing and pushing but no speed…full of dangerous holes. Mentally very hard to sustain.
  • Things particularly unusual: the Police stopped us I think 30k before Rome, so we did lost time…
