JOAO CORREIAINGAMBA'S FOUNDER

When I started Q36.5 11 years ago I could have only dreamed that one day Joao and his guests would choose to wear Q36.5. In my mind it has always been the dream of all real “corridori” to go on an InGamba tour. I personally can’t wait to be relaxed on a sofa in Lecchi with aching legs after a huge day of riding, sipping on a good glass of red wine and enjoying the company.
