TODAY WE TRAVELED FROM SAINT VERAN TO COSTIGLIOLE. WE’VE SURVIVED THE FRENCH ALPS AND WE ARE NOW IN ITALY!
TODAYS RIDE WAS A REASONABLE 51 MILES BUT WE STARTED THE DAY WITH A 10 MILE CLIMB UP COL AGNEL. AT 9003 FEET IT IS THE 3RD HIGHEST PAVED ROAD PASS IN THE ALPS. THE CLIMB WAS DIFFICULT BUT MADE MORE ENJOYABLE BY FOLLOWING MICHELLE UP THE ENTIRE CLIMB!
THE GOOD NEWS CAME AFTER THE CLIMB..........WE HAD THE LONGEST DESCENT IN EUROPE, DESCENDING NEARLY 30 MILES BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO OUR HOTEL FOR THE NIGHT, CASTELLO ROSSO. JUST HAPPENS THAT OUR HOTEL IS HOSTING A 200 PERSON WEDDING TODAY.
TOMORROW WE RIDE TO ALBA.
BEST TO ALL.
M AND BIG
