Giro d’Italia 2011 – D-Day
Toerbeest and Cyclopaat are leaving for Italy later today for their own version of the Giro d’Italia 2011.
For first time (foreign) visitors: the latter is Robert, the former is Paula, who will support C. during his bicycling trips.
She will follow him by car, take pictures, shoot movies and provide him with supplies (varying form food to dry clothes).
All-in-all she’s probably delivering a bigger effort than our self declared cycling hero…
Anyway, first stop will be the Albergo Bräuhaus in San Pietro, Lajen, Bolzano.
From there, C. will tackle a few climbs and on Sunday he will enjoy a (car and motor bike free) Sella Ronda Bike Day with 4 mountain passes.
On their way to Mestre for the Open European Mahjong Championship (OEMC 2011, July 7 ~ 10), they will stop in Ovaro.
From there, C. will climb the much feared Monte Zoncolan.
After the OEMC, they will head back to Nothern Italy, to the Alpen Hotel Chalet in Valdidentro.
On their way there, they will stop in Mazzo di Valtellina, so C. can climb the not any less feared Mortirolo.
Other passes on the menu are the Gavia, Stelvio and Umbrail.
On a – sort of – regular basis, depending on just how worn out C. will be at the end of each day, you will find new blog posts here, so be sure to check these pages on an equally (ir)regular basis 🙂
