The event was to be in Murcia, a bit of a chipper race that Matt has done before, but seven days of relatively short, fast stages. Matt had organised some accomodation, so the rest of us booked our flights, and all was well.... Until the race got cancelled with a couple of weeks to go.... So now what? Matt did some searching around and found us another event, but something rather different, being a six day race in the Dolomites. But it sounded good to me, and better to go do something specific than just turn it into a training trip. So we changed our flights, and found somewhere to stay, and rocked off into the unknown.
