Wow, what great bikes!
1 week agoYou really should make a bigger deal about those sweet-looking belt drive systems.

1 week agoIt’s Anne, here —- we have a Dolomite trip coming up too! I did all the planning last October and November. The accommodation was ‘complet’ way back then, which drove my curiosity meter over the top. How could it be? I still don’t have the answer, but I do have a hunch. Late May and early June is their down-time, between seasons, so many of these places close for a holiday and/or schedule renovations. Perhaps it pushes the costs up, as well? I don’t know true this is, but I don’t believe the area is going to be jammed with tourists, as suggested by the booking experience. We shall see. We leave May 22. Maybe we will cross paths!
1 week agoWhat a great route! I'm looking forward to the ride!
1 week agoThanks Glenna,
Looks like we might have a very interesting start. We just got a weather warning from Air Canada … snow in Montreal tomorrow where we connect with our Milan flight! Sounds like it could turn into one of those nasty ice storms.
Er - not Turin. Let’s meet up near Milan, I meant. We’ll be in Milan on July 3rd to catch the train south to Bari, but we will within reasonable driving distance of Milan for almost a week before them. We were planning to bike south through Vigivano at the end, but we could just as easily go through Novara or even up to the southern tip of Lake Maggiore instead and be within spitting distance of the airport. When are you flying home - July 6th or 7th I imagine - and where is your final stay?
1 week agoLooking forward to your entries to keep me entertained over the coming months. Have a super trip.
1 week agoThis looks like a really wonderful tour. We’ve done much of this too, as I think you did too - at least through northern Croatia.
And it still astonishes me that we’re flying over on the same day and that we almost decided to start in Milan rather than Bari. If we had I’m pretty sure we’d have found ourselves on the same overseas flight. Buon Viaggio to all of us, and I hope it works to meet up near Turin at the end.
Glad to see you only had an hour delay in YUL. Hope the forecast deluge days this week in Italy are downgraded too!
