The Giro d'Italia is the annual multi-stage bike race through the Italian countryside. Like the lycra clad road warriors, our own tour of Italy led us through the Tuscan countryside, along the Po Valley and around the Lake District, all the while suffering through inclement May weather. Unlike the sponsored super strada speedsters, we had time to play tourist and visit Venice, Florence and Cinque Terre, while using a rented car to climb the many Dolomite cols/passes that the pros had to suffer up and over. In both cases, fresh pasta, hot pizza and cappucinos fuelled the riding, while creamy gelatos became a daily necessity.
Apologies for the three pages of photos, but we are trying to catch up with lost time and memories.
