 In 2009, Lance Armstrong’s first ever Giro d’Italia inspired an American father and daughter team, Gene Nacey and Nina Wilczek, to form a grassroots fund raising ride for the LIVESTRONG foundation called the Giretto or “Little Giro”. They rode the first 5 stages of the race in their entirety (all 667 km or 415 miles), on the same days as the race proper, just a few hours ahead of Lance and the pros. The event was able to raise over $10,000 for LIVESTRONG and showcased the power of training indoors for outdoor riding on a professional circuit. In 2011, the Giretto aims to be even bigger - with more riders, more publicity and more money raised for LIVESTRONG. The Giretto not only aims to raise money for the fight against cancer, but to show that despite overwhelming odds, ordinary people can train hard and live strong. For the opportunistic and dedicated cyclist, this is a chance of a lifetime to ride with the pros, be inspired, and inspire others in the process. This will help set them up for a stronger than ever season of riding and racing. Riders are being required to pay their own travel expenses and raise a minimum of $1,000 for LIVESTRONG. The ride will be van supported by bilingual ride coordinators. What else is Cycling Fusion about? Read about Cycling Fusion's overall mission here: The Cycling Fusion Manifesto.
