Our graduate, Bastien DICQUE (ISA 2024), tells you all about his adventure! (March 2025)

"It's March 3rd: 2 months to the day since I left Lille.

I've visited 4 countries so far and the memories, anecdotes and images are already racing through my head 😊

The last two weeks have been very special! Indeed, I had to stop for a week due to a technical problem (cracked wheel in Nice) and a physical problem that required a bit of rest :)

But then, on February 23, I officially set off again for Italy and its sublime capital: Rome!

A city I didn't know and which is just sublime ✨ A real open-air museum!

I was also able to visit some of the country's other emblematic cities: Genoa, Pisa, Florence and Siena!

I couldn't talk about Italy without talking about food! To my great delight, I was able to sample all types of pasta and pizza 🍕

Here are some figures since the beginning of the adventure:

- 5,458 km of cycling

- 51,049 m ascent

- 250h06 of cycling

- 41 days on / 17 days off

- 10,996 euros raised for Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque

- 102 ☕️

The 5,000 km and 50,000 m ascent mark has been passed 🤌

Now I'm heading south to Italy to visit Puglia and take a ferry to Greece!!!"
