After the mountains of Slovenia today’s ride never got above 50m, but it was long – over 160km. It was a chance for the peloton to get some speed up. However, it was a tricky day 2 on the road, with 2 road diversions, lost riders and the last rescue mission of the day bringing back 9 people and 11 bikes in an 8 seater van!

Passing fields of grape vines, sleepy villages with cypress trees and small churches and, of course, excited inhabitants who looked on with curiosity.

In May 2016, the 5th annual Medical Cannabis Bike Tour took place in Slovenia and Italy. Once again we completed 420km in 3 days, riding through stunning scenery, from steep, snow covered mountains, through sleepy countryside with fields of grape vines and historical old villages.

With over 80 riders and volunteers from all over the world, the tour was another inspirational experience with great vibes and new friendships formed along the way. The 2016 adventure was another example of just what can be achieved when people come together and work together.

We have now raised over 350,000€ over the past 5 years, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, and this money is now enough to pay for clinical trials which begin in the first trimester of next year. This is fantastic news and the start of another great adventure for the bike tour. You can keep up to date with developments on our Facebook page over the next few months.

In the meantime, check out the videos of the 2016 Medical Cannabis Bike Tour…. and think about signing up to join us on our next instalment!

We have some great news!  We would like to announce that the 2016 Medical Cannabis Bike Tour will take place from Tuesday May 17th – Thursday May 19th (420km, 3 days).

Another year, another part of the world! This time we start in  Lljubljana (Slovenia) and finish in Bologna (Italy).

This year will be the biggest bike tour yet! Already cyclists and sponsors are signing up to join us in what will be a very special year.

In 2016 we will have enough money raised to conduct clinical trials on human patients in Spain, to test the research of the Complutense University scientists into the effectiveness of cannabinoids as a cancer treatment.

We hope you will join us, either as a rider or sponsor on the tour, or as part of our worldwide army of MCBT supporters.
