Yes, the link works fine. Insanely beautiful is right.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice Villa Pasani, catty-corner from our second stay. The traffic is so dense there that I never really looked up in that direction.

Now you have me wanting to return to Ferarra just to walk the walls. Saw some from the outside on the way into town, but didn't walk them as part of the visit.

It's strange it didn't work. This looks like the right kind of hammer for the job!

Been there - on a very early tour, before I published on cgoab. Montagnana is amazing, isn't it.

You got a pretty long ride in considering the weather! Overcast came make for great moody pictures, too. Still, sorry about the extreme rains. Cold here in Toulouse but relatively dry, today anyway.

Yes, there was discussion about how great it was that the extra mileage brought us up to Rachael’s favorite number for the first time in awhile.

I note that your backtracking and Villa confusion brought your distance total to the magic number!

I discovered my front brake rotor was bent when I reassembled my bike at home. I own the Park tool but opted to take the bike in because it looked pretty bad. The mechanic got it rideable but said he couldn’t eliminate all the rubbing so I had the rotor replaced. Since the damage happened in transit, I think I’ll add the tool to our “bike assembly” kit, which stays with our cases. I’ll have to give some thought to carrying it.

I’ve been reading about the flooding also. Some of the worst hit places - Ravenna, Faenza - aren’t far from us at all. We’ve really been pretty lucky.

Fall is still on the drawing board (well, except for the flight to Bilbao that we bought a few months ago), but the plan is a three month tour of Spain beginning in Bilbao and ending in Valencia, followed by a month in Cyprus.

We hear about all the flooding in Northern Italy. What are your plans for fall??

I hope so, too. I’m getting excited about meeting up with you and Janos! I hope we don’t hold you back too much, mighty conquerer of Ventoux!

Wow, that’s a great compliment from Jacinto! The two of you are great and I look forward to following your tour!
