Covilhã transforms Journalist and Sports Commentator Olivier Bonamici's Bet into a Festival and Prepares to Receive 1,993 Cyclists "Conquering the Tower"

The city of Covilhã hosts from September 18 to 20 the first edition of "1993 – Conquering the Tower / Serra da Estrela Cycling Tourism Festival," an event born from a personal promise by sports commentator Olivier Bonamici, made during a Tour de France broadcast, to climb to the Tower by bicycle. The municipality transformed the individual bet into a collective and non-competitive event, which sold out the 1,993 available spots (allusion to the 1,993-meter altitude) in less than 48 hours. The program includes a 26-kilometer climb on Saturday, September 19, with celebration checkpoints at Parque do Pião, Penhas da Saúde, and the Tower, a cycling fair (1993 Bike Expo), lectures, the launch of the book "João Almeida and the Magic Mountain," and, on Sunday, cycling tourism rides for road, mountain bike, and eBike.
