The Colnago Museum
Ernesto Colnago posing with us just after personally signing and giving each one of us a Colnago Jersey. Once in a lifetime experience. A true testiment to Greg's relationship with the Italian famiglia.
One of many pics I took on our tour guided by a local rider of a 30 mile spin through grape vineyards that are used for champagne. Domani we head to the Ghisallo climb that made Andy Hampstead famous for winning the Giro in 1988. 130k ride with and 11k climb that is sure to wreak havoc on jet lagged legs. I will post some pics of the ride when we return safe and sound.
Gary, loving following the trip! Wish I was there, but NOT wishing I'd get to climb that stinking mountain! Enjoy and keep the posts and pics coming!
