'''Tour de Satoshi'''
bitcoin anniversary bike tour from Florence to Frankfurt
It was a 1000 km bike ride with 10,000 meters of altitude with luggage in 10 days in unpredictable cold weather conditions through the Alps. Besides the sportive challenge Vitus' goal was to pay every night’s stay in a hotel with bitcoin. Upon arrival in each destination town, Vitus therefore needed to go from hotel to hotel and try to convince a hotel owner to let him stay a night in return for bitcoin. The final result out of nine nights was: Bitcoin 7:2 Euro.
Prior to starting Vitus published a [http://www.starwings.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/tour_de_satoshi_one_pager.pdf one pager] about Tour de Satoshi and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDytNzo5goM announced] it at a bitcoin meetup in Munich.
