SEVEN DAY CYCLIST
CYCLING, BUT NOT USUALLY RACING

Mick Ives, multi-talented UCI Champion, gave  the Giro d'Italia a bit of a pasting. Coventry based local legend, Mick took on the 2017 route of the Giro solo, for good causes.

​

1. He had no peloton to get him through, when the going got tough and no team mates on the road.

2. He had a support team, but without the paraphernalia of the pros.

3. The roads were open, so Mick has to battle traffic in urban areas.

4. He stuck to a budget, so dinner might be a take-away pizza.

5. And, just to mention it, Mick is 78 years of age.
