Ghisallo

Friday, Ghisallo

It has been a while since we did this ride, but I wrote a bunch of notes each day while we were in Italy on our FinKraft Camp, a trip that you do no forget anyway. I have not had time to post everything, but I will finish off the whole camp, so you guys can see what it was all about and if interested next year you can sign up.

De Rosa
Re covery ride in the rain and then off to the De Rosa factory, that is the plan for today, well not the rain, but we were just so lucky that it only rained today and not on any other day of the camp. We slept in (big day yesterday) and after the
 standard breakfast onto a nice and kind of special ride to the old part  of Bergamo.

Motirolo and Gavia

Today was a big day for the FinKraft Camp, I personally have dreamt all my life (well as long as I been cycling) about riding up and over Mortirolo and the Gavia Pass , those are the climbs you always hear about and both of them have made such a difference in the Giro every time the race has gone over these epic and legendary mountains. ( no different this year).

First Real Ride of the Italy Camp

Well, it was either this road or the Killington stage 2 TT, but since we were here in Italy this one made more sense -:) Had to rub it in a little!! It was time to go to work (riding I mean -:) ) nothing else to do , so a perfect day for a bike ride!

On European Soil

Landed and after a couple of miles walking thru the airport in Brussels we found a spot to camp out and we needed some sleep, did not get much on the plane and we all felt like we had not slept in days. Quick bite to eat, I forgot how expensive Europe was, 12 euros for a couple eggs, a bowl cereal and some fresh squeezed orange juice, delicious!
