This is it..

We are leaving Italy. We'll be back for sure.
Still digesting all the images in my head, it'll take a while to realize what we did.
Most of us became wine snobs, with the exception of Gene, Coca Cola only and Tammy, she is more of a beer person, although both of them tried the favorite beverage of the gods.

Since I missed two days of riding I asked Tom if we could do one more ride in the morning.
To my surprise he offered to ride from Cortona to Florence, about 70 miles, while all the other would take the van.

From the get go he pushed hard, he wanted to beat the van,
we didn't beat them, but we arrived at the same time, 3 1/2 hrs for 70 miles with a thunder storm
and some serious hills, I was happy.
It was sad to see the guides leave, we were more like a family after a week of spending all day together.

A typical italian lunch and some Giro TV coverage closed the day and a chapter that will leave long lasting memories.
Thanks for following.
