VENEtoGO, a non-competitive social ride, is scheduled for Oct. 15, starting and finishing at Villa Cà Cornaro in Romano d’Ezzelino.

Sonny Colbrelli, Fabian Cancellara and Fabio Aru will also be there at VENEtoGO, the non-competitive social ride scheduled for Oct. 15, with start and finish at Villa Cà Cornaro di Romano d’Ezzelino (Vicenza), just outside Bassano del Grappa. With them, of course, will also pedal Filippo Pozzato, who wanted this event to allow bike enthusiasts to experience the atmosphere of Ride the Dreamland as protagonists, riding a preview of the second part of the Veneto Classic route, on which the professionals will compete the next day.

Those registered for the social ride will have the opportunity to ride side by side with Italian and European champion and winner of Paris-Roubaix 2021 Sonny Colbrelli. Another star of VENEtoGO, also present at last year’s inaugural edition, is the “locomotive of Bern,” the great Fabian Cancellara, who counts in his palmares a Milano-Sanremo, three Tours of Flanders and as many Paris-Roubaix, four world championships and two Olympics in the time trial. Another confirmed presence is that of Fabio Aru, who as an amateur on these very roads took off by imposing himself in the Bassano-Monte Grappa and among the big boys was the winner of the 2015 Vuelta, three stages at the Giro, two at the Vuelta and one at the Tour.

It promises to be a special day, then, for participants in the social ride organized by PP Sport Events, which offers a 98-kilometer route (and an elevation gain of 1,100 meters) and an 80-kilometer route (elevation gain of 800 meters).
