Mission 35: the big start

May 13th, 2014 | Uncategorized

From running to cycling…However this time, I wasn’t a participate, I was a volunteer for the second best cycle event (after the tour of France), called the Giro D’ltalia. It took place May 9th-11th with the Grande Partenza, which means “the big start”, right here in Belfast. All throughout Belfast the town was covered in pink because the overall winner would wear a pink jersey (Maglia Rosa). A lot of main roads and side streets were closed just for the cyclist to come through. Spectators would come out hours before and get a good spot to catch a glimpse of the cyclists and because they were going 55km per hour, you couldn’t take your eyes off of the road. Just to be in the atmosphere was a feeling an amazing feeling in itself. Yet again, I am so thankful for being given the opportunity to not only watch an event (live) that 174 countries were watching via television, but more so to actual be apart of it. Sports will forever change my life! #belfast #victory #giro #scl #happydays
