July 1st, 2023
38th Edition of the Rotary Cycling World Championship
On 1 July 2023, the Monza racetrack hosted the 38th edition of the Rotary International Cycling Championships organized in collaboration with the Fellowship Cycling to Serve.
The race took place on the famous circuit designed for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. A fast and flat circuit that managed to highlight the qualities of long distance riders and sprinters.
Monza is not only synonymous with Formula 1. The city also boasts hundreds of years of history as testified by the Royal Villa and Civic Museum (https://turismo.monza.it) and is strategically located just a few kilometres from Milan, the economic capital of Italy, and Lake Como.
Monza is also the capital of Brianza, very well-known by amateur cyclists who ride it far and wide but also by professional cyclists who tackle the climbs of Lissolo and Colle Brianza in the "Agosto Cup". It is also possible to reach the top of the Ghisallo and visit the homonymous Sanctuary and the famous Cycling Museum with the collection of the Pink Jerseys donated over the years by the winners of the Giro d'Italia (https://www.museodelghisallo.it).
A wonderful opportunity to combine sports, Rotarian friendship and a few days of vacation to visit these places and cycle a few kilometers.
