Route 2011

Ecotopia Biketour 2011 will take place in Italy from the 27th of July (starting point Florence) until the 31th of August. The main theme of the tour will be sustainable agriculture.

You'll find here the Route we're planning to have, but as you know, Ecotopia Bike Tour is not an all easy packed and programmed holiday trip. It's firstly an adventure full of surprises created day by day by its cheerful participants as a group. Bike Tour is flexible and spontaneous!

Don't worry, if you plan to join us on our way, we'll give you our Italian mobile phone numbers so we can easily connect and agree on a meetig point. Indeed, it's sometimes difficult to get an internet access once we are on the road. In order to give you our contact details, we need you to connect with us by mail BEFORE the tour starts. Well that's all! Don't hesitate to ask for further information.

Looking forward to ride, sweat and change the world with you on the hills of Italia!

Help is needed!

After having encountered too many complications, our two coordinators stopped organising the project. But as there is still a lot of enthusiasm and good energy, we still want to make BT 2011 and its wonderful route happen, based on all the great job done so far by Anna and all the help we'll get untill the beginning of the BT. So that's where we are now, trying to find the sleeping places that are missing to complete our itinerary. To do this, every help, contact, info, will be highly welcome. Please bring here your good ideas!
