The PedalItaly Parma Virtual Race on ROUVY is set for June 22nd. The free and open virtual cycling event is inviting cycling enthusiasts from all over the world to discover the heart of the Parma Apennines from home.
‘The 1:1 augmented course represents immersive racing over rolling hills of the Parma vicinity in a truly beautiful and natural environment.’
The virtual race rolls through the food valley of Italy, starting from the Nature Park of Boschi di Carrega. It crosses a virtual rendering of the Nature Park in its entirety. Then the course continues through the urban section of the municipalities of Sala Baganza and Felino before returning to a rural landscape.
‘The road has continuous ups and downs from where riders can admire the picturesque hills, the local crops and the magnificent Castle of Torrechiara. The race also reaches the town of Langhirano before facing the last climb that leads to the Pieve dell’Assunzione di Maria Vergine in the hamlet of Castrignano.’
Three races, in respective time zones, are provided on June 22nd:
- Europe at 19:00 CEST
