Great, part of my family came from the Pescara region of Italy. Would be fun to go see them as well as ride!

This is more of a comeback than a first. Italy has had RAAM-Qs in the past, among them the Montello 24 Hour as You may read in UltraRaceNews not that long ago: http://www.ultraracenews.com/2011/05/01/2011-24-hr-of-montello-italy-european-ultracycling-season-opens/
