WE ARE WORKING HARD TO CLEAR THE HERO TRAILS
It was certainly a winter season like no other seen for many years: lots of snow right from the beginning of the season fell across the Dolomites and over the Alps in general. For many it was an exceptionally good winter, and we who have grown up in the mountains know that winter needs its snow, even if does create some inconvenience and extra work for us here at the HERO. We are well prepared for the situation, as we have had to cope in similar manner in the past, and we are making headway in clearing the enormous amounts of snow which have remained in the higher mountain reaches of the HERO routes. We are confident of doing the job necessary and if all goes according to plan and if the weather is kind to us (for the weather is one thing out of our control) the entire routes will be practicable by 7 June.
Meanwhile, it is possible to try out those parts of the race route lower down, this thanks to the HERO clinic initiative, whereby accompanied by Mountain Bike guides, you will be able to get familiar with roads and paths over which you will face the HERO challenge on 16 June.
