CYCLO-TOURIST TOUR OF IBIZA AND FORMENTERA 2008

The 7th Edition of the Ibiza and Formentera Tour will take place in october 2008. It’s been already seven years since they came up with the idea of organizing a little meeting of bicycle lovers in the island of Ibiza.
At the beginning of this 7th edition the organization can proudly assure that this small Tour has grown through the years and is now the most important non-competitive stage race in our country.
It is true that the island of Ibiza, with its extraordinary routes, its spectacular landscapes, incredible spots and fine sand beaches and crystal waters have contributed not only to the outstanding success of this Tour, but also to the both national and international renown of the island of Ibiza, as one of the best places in the world to practice cycling.
