As far as cycling goes this is the best shape I have been in.I have biked 7 days in a row and about 5 hours a day at ragbrai, come home and biked 4 times, then biked another 7 days in a row here in Italy, but doing one mountain climb a day for 6 days straight.
My hamstring held and I had very few aches. I took no motrin or advil here. I consider myself very lucky given my spring.
I averaged about 5 hours a day riding for the week.
I made a lot of Italian friends, and I certainly hope to come back next year.
One of the American couples turned out to be very nice, and I drove them to the bike shop this afternoon and also helped then get a reservation at my favourite hotel in Venice, the Locanda Orseolo.
They have 9 children. She had 6 and he 3. She is in amazing shape for having had 6 children.
They were very appreciative of my help today with their bike wheel issue. And I wouldn't let him bike to the store on a broken bike when I had a car. He was pissed that George wouldn't help, but gee, if George goes out of way for one of his guests where will it end?
With people like me saving $100 a day coming here without his group!
Until next year!
