I’m joinig the GBI for the 7th time. The main thing is to have fun together. Cycling, talking, cycling, see something, cycling, meeting the friends from the last years, cycling. This sounds like a successful day!! Average speed is planed around 22km/h. After 2/3 of the daily stage we will have a lunch break for 45 – 60 minutes. If necessary we will stop more often, but not to take a picture every few minutes. We will stay together for the whole day, we leave no man behind. We will cycle on track 1b therefore race bikes are preferred. Everyone is welcome, a international team would be great.

Energetic team that likes a challenge of a longer ride vs. Sight seeing.
We ride as a team, working together and earning a well deserved beer at the end is our joy. We take a long lunch and 3-4 small breaks during the day, but sightseeing we leave to the end of the day if there is time for it.
28kmh is our avg speed over 2-3 hours riding.

Thomas Straub
Teamnumber 7
Languages: German, English
My name is Thomas, I am living in Düsseldorf, Germany, and I am a passionate cyclist for about 15 years.
However, my first priority is to have fun by cycling and not a top performing.
To cross the alps is anyway a big challange for me.
The daily stages I would like to divide into pieces a 60-90 minutes and then have a break.
My goal is not to be the first at the GBI camp, but to spend a nice day in a beautiful environment on our bikes.
I have chosen the teamname "Rückenwind" in the hope this will help us to ride over the highest mountains.
I rejoice to share this event with you and hope to see you in Venice.

Guido Weber
Teamnumber 11
Languages: German, English
It`s my 4th GBI and I am still on fire. Which track we choose depends on the fitness and willingness of our team. It will be a deep democratic process to decide whether we take track 1b or 2 from Venice to Stuttgart (racing bikes preferred). We aspire to realize an average speed about 25 km/h and having breaks in a regular matter, what means that we don’t plan it but stop if we want (as well as a result of a democratic decision) to enjoy the landscape, italian wine, austrian Späzle, german ice leg ;-) or whatever. If you want to have a lot of fun within an ambitious team, JOIN US!

This will be my first time leading a team in the GBI and I’m really looking forward to the challenge. We will start at a civilised time of the morning once the chill has lifted and move at a comfortably quick pace – 30km/h on the flat and something less uphill! I’d anticipate two planned stops per stage, plus summits on the climbing days. You’ll need to be on a road bike and comfortable riding in a group - we’ll ride together and share the work, but regroup after climbs where we may get strung out

Everyone can join this team expecially if you're cycling with a mountain bike . We'll not consider this GBI as a cycling race so we'll keep an average speed between 22 / 27 km and according to the ground conditions. We'll start approximately to cycle at 8:30 / 9:00 in the morning but we could decide together the best time to leave. There will be a break for lunch ( about 1 hour ) and during the day other 2/3 breaks depending on the requirements of the team. You'll be free to stop for a photo whenever you like.

This is my first GBI so am not sure what to expect other than great riding, fun people who are somewhat serious about cycling, and amazing scenery. I intend to take a somewhat quick pace but also to enjoy the ride, the company and the scenery - and get a good workout every day. Several “small-stops” and a 1 – 2 of big ones will take place. Average Speed will be 24 km/h - slower on the big climbs. Race/road bikes only!

TEAM Quebrantahuesos 1
Jorge Sanchez
Teamnumber 20
Languages: Spanish, English
The key idea is to cycle together and have fun, both of them at the same time. Average speed is approximate, depending on the day route… and how was the day before…or next day. Stops are decided more or less on the fly, more often before we feel hungry or tired, and if we feel fresh nice and easy we may delay it and keep going, decided by group consensus. We welcome anyone wishing to cycle with us, as long as he/she is able to cycle and laugh, tell jokes, etc. By the way, the team name comes from a cycling event in the Pyrenees: a tour-de-france stage opened to amateurs crossing several colls (we hope crossing the Alps will be easier!!!).

Languages: Spanish, English
Joining the team probably won't allow you to achieve the original GBI goal of losing weight while riding a bike because we like beer more like anything else. So we are prone to leave as soon as we are thirsty to get a pint (or two).
But you'll love the fun and the laughs while enjoying the views in a quiet way. We ride for a good cause and are more than happy to welcome new riders to the team. Hope to see all you soon in Venice!

I jouned GBI back in 2010. I skipped last year only and glad I am back again this year. Cycling is my favorate passion. I see the GBI tour is a challenge coupled with fun. I prefere to cycle with moderate speed (20 km/hr on average) and have short breaks 5 - 10 mins every 20 kms. Still we can stop by for photos on the way. I do not plan for long breaks during the tour except if there is a certain place we want to visit on our way.

It's my 6th year GBI and 4th year as a team leader, 2nd year with my wife :). Actally, I love all sports that end with ing (cycling, hiking, skiing, diving, etc.).
I used to cycle during my childhood and quitted, returned back since 2010. I eat ice cream almost every day :) its more of a passion than food to me, that's why I made a formula of 1 hour cycling a day so that I can have 2 scoops of ice cream and still lose weight & be in shape. I am looking forward that our team will enjoy the route and finish in good timing. I am planning to have 4 breaks plus one lunch break a day. Each break for 5 to 10 minutes, lunch 45 minutes.
Let’s have some fun :)

This sounds like a successful day!! We take a 15 min break every 20/30 kilometers (depending on the road facilities and route conditions), after 65%-75% of the daily route we will have a lunch break for 45 – 60 minutes. If necessary we will stop more often to take photos but we will have to compensate the stop time by cycling faster.. . We will stay together for the whole day, we leave no one behind - We are one Team. Everyone is welcome.
