On the 2nd May
2006, a contingent of 13 intrepid Sydney road cyclists threw caution to
the wind and set off to cycle around the coast and through the centre of
the Mediterranean island of Sicily. 12 days later they arrived back at
their start point in the north eastern town of Villafranca Tirrena
having covered 1,127 kilometres in nine stages in what was to become
known as the Tour of Sicily. The following is a stage by stage account
of their exploits.
