F.A.Q.

Doubts? Questions? Here you'll pronbably find the answer
Is Stradebasse a race?
General
ABSOLUTELY NOT. It is a cycle touring event on roads open to traffic.
Do I need a medical certificate?
General
Yes! To participate in #STRADEBASSE68, a general health certificate is sufficient. For the other routes, a valid federal membership card from any cycling team or a valid high cardiovascular effort medical examination is required. No medical examination is needed to participate in #STRADEBASSEFAMILY.
Isn't a waiver enough?
General
Absolutely not!! In our ORGANIZED event, every participant is INSURED. We care about the safety of the participant, the municipalities, the involved entities, and all of us organizers. NO cycling event can be exempt from this practice. Giving a time and a starting point is already "organizing an event."
Can I register at the start?

Registrations will be open until August 28 or until the participant limit is reached. The reaching of this limit will be communicated through our social media channels. If there are still available spots on the morning of the event, it will be possible to register on-site by providing the organization with all the documentation required during the early registration phase (see registration section). Registration for #STRADEBASSEFAMILY (by free donation) can be done on-site.
Are there parking spaces near the start?

Certainly! In the email we will send a few days before the start, besides the GPX file, the parking lot located 100 meters from the start and finish will also be indicated. Please note that the parking spot will have a fee of €1 per day.
Can I come by camper the night before?
General
Absolutely yes! The designated parking lot can accommodate a few hundred cars and campers. It is a dirt parking lot surrounded by trees. Sleeping there will be a fantastic experience!! Moreover, a few steps away, there are some restaurants that excellently cook local dishes. Take advantage of STRADEBASSE to discover the small village of Padernello, rich in history and food and wine.
