PANAMERICAN 20000 - The windy route through the Cordillera

Medellin, 24th September 2006

The Panamerican 20,000 expedition left Cali at around 6.30. The destination was Medellin for a date with the Italian Consul in Colombia.

A large group of cyclists on its customary Sunday ride accompanied us out of the city as the road snaked its way to Tulua. This type of road differed to that which climbed the slopes of the Cordillera, with its curves and dips.

Many varieties of flower appeared along the roadside as the crews enjoyed their weekly rest day. The 599 GTB Fioranos were then caught out by a tropical storm while they crossed a coffee growing area.

The last stage of the day was windy and uneven for the last 60 km into Medellin. The city was reached in the afternoon and the team members settled into their hotel, one that enjoyed a privileged position over the city.
