The Famous “333” is back again!

After a sabbatical year, the 333 is back on the cyclist’s season program, this being its 9th edition.

The route to be taken has been completely modified from previous years and will take the participants on a voyage of discovery of varied landscapes and allow those who watch, to see the group of cyclists pass through the town of Orbe after 120 km.

This cycle marathon is a challenge out of the ordinary which, despite its impressive distance, has enjoyed tremendous success over the years.

Of course it is a big challenge, but to have a goal of such a high level helps each participant go beyond his or her own limit during the 333 km ridden in one stretch.

This course is a lesson of life, a goal which seems inaccessible and many difficulties to overcome, but finally the deliverance and joy are there when the finishing line is in sight.

This also shows that the bicycle allows one to travel rapidly and can be used as an alternative to the car over short and long distances, depending on your motivation and, of course, the weather.

Lots of success for the 2008 edition and happy road to you!
