Giro Abruzzo competition has closed - Winners announced!

Find out who won the cycling holiday to Italy, courtesy of Giro Abruzzo

The Giro Abruzzo competition is now closed and I'm happy to say that we have two winners...

Congratulations to Hedgerow and underworld99

You have each won a 3-night cycling holiday in Italy! Giro Abruzzo will be in contact to arrange your prizes.

Thank you to everyone that entered and better luck next time.

Well, here’s something to celebrate on this lockdown weekend.

Two of you will win a brilliant 3-night stay at a 4-star hotel in the heart of Italy. The prize includes guided cycling tours, which will allow you to explore the local roads with routes tailored to your ability. 

This fabulous prize is courtesy of Giro D’Abruzzo, a cycling and adventure tour company based in the heart of Italy.

Italy is one of our favourite places to ride a bike and if you've never been, you're in for a treat. The rolling landscape offers the perfect terrain for mixed riding and once you've pedalled your way to the top of the hills, the views are breath-taking.

And that's before we even get onto the food and wine. Even with some big days on the bike, we'd be expecting to come home heavier than we left! Italian cuisine is truly stunning.

Giro competition Abruzzo

The holiday will be an all-inclusive trip to a 4-star hotel for three nights in mid-Italy, Abruzzo, which is normally £650 per person. Due to COVID-19, they expect the first opportunity for this trip will be in September/October 2020. But you do have a year from when the winners are announced to take your holiday.

You’ll be staying in the 4-star partner vineyard hotel in the beautiful region of Abruzzo, Central Italy. Included are airport return transfers, guided cycling tours, meeting a former Giro d’Italia winner, wine tasting, seeing the beautiful sites & tasting the local food. 

Winners will also receive sponsor goodies when they visit. Cycling, local wine and Italian food, it sounds absolutely brilliant.

All you've got to do to enter is post a comment down below. Two winners will be selected at random on Monday 4th May, when the competition closes.

Yes please although Abruzzo is more than 10 miles from home so don't bother entering if you're Welsh.

My old roommate grew up in Pineto, Abruzzo (and now lives in Pescara). We've flew to Pescara airport numerous times & explored the stunning Abruzzo region. We normally have to always explain to people where it is - "Do you remember the big eathquake they had?" or sometimes just skip straight to "it's on the opposite coast to Rome". I have ran around the hills/beaches but never cycled there yet, would love to.

That would be the perfect opportunity to try out our lockdown-fitness in practice.  My partner and I have dug out our unused bikes to cycle in the London suburbs as part of our fitness routine...What a treat it would be to swap the urban streets for the Italian countryside smiley
