This Group is not a competitive sports club or team, it is a group of cyclists (already registered with other teams), who keep in contact by phone or the internet to take part in events like Granfondo and Mediofondo (long and medium distance, non competitive races), slowly but within the time limit and possibly all together.

Our philosophy is to cycle for our own pleasure, not to win or prove anything to anyone.

Unfortunately, Granfondo and Mediofondo events which should be opportunities to meet other cyclists and ride together through our country, have become more and more competitive and consequently cyclists unable to maintain high performance speeds and distances feel inadequate, often opting for short tracks or simply give up, discouraged by having to ride alone for long distances.

The "in no hurry" cyclist is not interested in challenge or classification: he considers cycling a chance to ride through new places, discover beautiful landscapes and even reach high mountains, but always slowly, enjoying the nature without competition and in good company.

If you feel like you fit the "in no hurry" description come join us for an event, for many events or join our Group by signing the "card of honor" and getting our official jersey with the turtle, symbol of our Group.

Our plan is to participate in as many of the officially scheduled events as we can, and to reach the finish line within the time limit determined by the organization (or an average of at least 18 Km/h), possibly all together and for the entire distance.

During the latest seasons we took part in many important events such as the Nove Colli, the Maratona delle Dolomiti, the Giro delle Dolomiti, the Barilla and the Eroica……there may not have been many of us and we never won (we were always the last ones to finish) yet we were still confident and proud to be "in no hurry".

This year we are going to enforce our presence in Italian cycling events while maintaining our style, enjoying nature and the people along the way, taking care of who is less trained, slow or old.

These following pages on the internet contain information about the activities of the group during the past 4 years, with pictures, tables and schedules including the most recent schedule, all updated by the coordinator (Pio Renato Sbaffo), with the help of old and new members.
