Discovery of the wonders of Friuli Venezia Giulia
The FVG Bike Trail was created with the aim of guiding participants through an intimate and profound exploration of the beauties of Friuli Venezia Giulia, combining the love of cycling with the spirit of adventure and the pleasure of travel.
Two paths to tell the story of FVG
Participants will be able to choose between two circular routes, different in length and difficulty: one of 490 km with 5,200 meters of positive difference in altitude (D+) and a shorter one of 190 km with 2,000 D+. Both routes have been designed to offer an authentic experience of the Friulian territory, passing through secondary and forest roads. From the hills of San Daniele to the coast of Lignano, passing through Venzone, Gemona, the Torre and Natisone valleys, the Colli Orientali, Cividale, Palmanova and Marano Lagunare, every stretch of the route is a continuous discovery.
No race: you ride at your own pace
The FVG Bike Trail is an event not competitive a single stage, where each participant can independently decide their own pace, when to start and where to stop. The scheduled departure dates range from 19 to 21 September 2024, which can be selected during registration. The track of the chosen route will be provided in .gpx format shortly before departure. Villa Manin in Passariano di Codroipo will be the starting and finishing point for both routes.
Unsupported event philosophy
“We chose the unsupported format because it is well suited to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region full of routes and connections, but at times unknown even to its inhabitants,” explains Giacomo Miranda, creator of the event. “We wanted anyone who participated to be able to do so in a free but also conscious way. The philosophy of an unsupported event is precisely this: you pedal at your own pace and in freedom, but you are also called to enter into a real connection with the territory, to get to know it and to independently organize stops and overnight stays”.
The event shirt signed by Gianni Borta
To represent the link between FVG Bike Trail and the territory, the official jersey of the first edition was designed by the master Gianni Borta, a famous Friulian painter. Using Sportful’s Supergiara Jersey model, Borta has created a work of art that combines art and cycling in a mosaic of colors. The shirt will be an iconic symbol for all participants.
