It's ironic that I warned you about ticks earlier, and I'm the one who ends up with one. Ha ha.
2 years agoGood on ya for riding Stelvio with loaded bikes. That's where we got the luggage transfer idea. We got our gear dropped off at the top of Stelvio in 2014. Kudos to you.
2 years agoI would agree with that. Good call.
2 years agoIs that fireweed?
2 years agoYou're making me wish we'd ridden Passo Giau when we left Cortina for Caprile! Oh well, we will just have to go back someday. We tried to do a luggage transfer to the top of Stelvio, but no luck. I suppose we could have found a taxi, but never inquired.
2 years agoGreat that you got such fine weather, but good luck with that tick bite. Very worrisome.
2 years agoYes, we're in Victoria. Puglia(our 2020 plan), Spain and the Dolomites are all on the list right now. Watching the Tour also puts the Alps back in play and after we watch the Pyrenees stages they'll probably be on the list too! Nice to dream.
2 years agoHi David. Thanks for writing and thanks for the compliment. It's hard to take bad photos around here. The luggage transfer saved the day. Where's next for you guys? You're on the island, right?
2 years agoAnother great collection of pictures…love the panorama shots. Your luggage transfer solution is brilliant…way to go Susanna!
2 years agoYup. You beat me to it. I just stumbled across this trying to identify a bloom in the Yorkshire Dales.
2 years agoGood job scooting it off! So many would have stoned it.
2 years agoIt was the best thing to do. Sue actually thought about getting in with the gear, but somehow I convinced her that the torturous day would be more fun.
2 years agoI recognized it from your last snake encounter. I learned from your journal that it was venomous, so I paid respects by scooting it along with my bike tire. So. Thanks for your informative writing.
2 years agoWhat an awesome day! We’ve never ridden this route but either pass looks astonishing. Brilliant idea to taxi the ballast forward.

Hey David. Sounds like you've got some plans. All worthy contenders for upcoming tours. So exciting to dream.
