At the end of September 2009 Wiggle teamed up with Cycling Plus to offer a lucky winner to travel to Italy and enjoy a truly unique experience. Lucky winner Andy Colby was flown out to Italy to meet up with Wiggle winner James Gerrard-Jones to watch the Giro Di Lombardia with full VIP access!

Here is what Andy Colby had to say..

For those who don’t believe in entering comps, then read this.

Couple of weeks ago i got a call from Rob Spedding Editor from Cycling plus, Tells me I’ve won a trip to The Giro Di Lombardia do you want to go!!! Of course was my reply your taking your bike and will meet up in Italy with a rep from Vittoria.

OK two weeks later I’m on plane to Italy with a comp winner from Wiggle, James, Simon from Cycling plus and our wonderful host Amy from Wiggle.

Were met in Milan by Luca from Vittoria Tyres Italy, who was a fab guy and a great host.
Sat morning were driven to the start of the Giro and are met by Veronica from Mavic and are then placed with a couple of teams for the day. I went with Team Cervelo who treated me to an experience money could not buy and to help during the race with getting the food bags ready to give out on the food station was a real privilege.

I got see the finish of the race and the podium presentation brilliant finish to the day.

Sunday We took a nice ride along part of the route of the Giro Di Lombardia. Then up the hill to the Maddona Del Ghisallo, some spectacular views on route all 45 miles of them and great company to ride with, just did not want it to end but we ran out of time to the point our bikes ended up an official service car courtesy of Mavic.

Well mad rush to airport ensued and a constant pinch on the plane just a make sure it was all real and that i had just had one of the best times of my life

So if you want to enjoy a brill time enter the comps, just like James and I did.
