Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, 2025
EVENT PROGRAM: MARCA BIANCA – LA NOTTURNA
Riding under the full moon… and a few werewolves!
GATHERING AND PRELIMINARIES (for cyclists, don’t misunderstand!)
From 8:00 PM – Morgano di Badoere
Administrative tasks (yes, we have to do them, but we promise it’ll be painless).
Distribution of the legendary race kit: inside you’ll find the essentials for cycling, plus a few surprises to survive the werewolves.
Light check: because there’s a difference between “shining with your own light” and risking ending up in the ditch.
THE DUCK FESTIVAL: THE TRUE TEST OF RESILIENCE
While waiting for the start, the Festa del Carmine will delight us with:
-
Gnocchi with duck sauce (to train your jaw muscles).
-
Roast duck (if it doesn’t run away first!).
-
Vicentine-style cod, sausages, ribs, cooked cheese, polenta, and grilled vegetables.
-
Sweets and rivers of beer (beware: drinking too much might make you think you’ve actually seen a werewolf!).
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO START WITH A FULL STOMACH?
Start at 12:00 AM – Midnight sharp!
When the moon is high and the wolves howl… we pedal!
STRATEGIC REST STOPS (FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T BURNED OFF THE CALORIES)
-
Km 35 – Near Asolo: Technical stop for those still carrying traces of gnocchi in their stomachs.
-
Km 70 – Near Volpago del Montello: Rest stop for those still asking themselves, “Why did I eat all that cod?”
ARRIVAL AT MORGANO DI BADOERE: REBIRTH
Waiting for you:
-
An epic breakfast with fresh croissants and steaming cappuccinos.
-
Existential reflection moments: “What on earth made me do this?”
-
Selfies with the moon (if it’s still there) and with the new cycling friends who survived.
FINAL WARNINGS
-
If you meet a werewolf, share your polenta: it seems they can’t resist it.
-
If you start talking to your bike, blame the beer (or the sleep).
-
The important thing is not winning, but pedaling with a full stomach and a smile on your face.
