Part of the Giro




Another beautiful morning to wake up to. Crisp clean air hits your face opening the wood framed
windows in our room. Fog hugs the lower parts of the valley of Volterra.
On todays schedule: parts of the Giro.
By the time we left the hotel the skies didn't look good as promised.
6 k out of town going south east the weather came in and we got hit with a nice stiff breeze and rain. Not fun when the ride starts with a nice downhill, frozen toes, numb hands and a red nose like Rudolph the reindeer.

Most of our today's ride included lots of climbing and long downhills.
Half way through the ride Giovanni served a first class lunch that filled us up and gave us enough energy to conceur parts of tomorrows Stage 6.

"Pantani" graffiti and faded mile markers on the road on the way to Siena. Miles today 63.
