We weren’t done after our big day in the Dolomites, and went back for more Giro action after the rest day. Riding to the TT included the Passo San Baldo (see pez pic), descending the other side, and then climbing up the TT course itself. Thanks to Ashley and Jered Gruber, we were also invited to join the Castelli party at 1km to go, which included a little bit of Paolo Bettini working the grill!

The next morning we went to Feltre to see the stage start, spoke briefly with Team Sky’s Michael Barry, and then hopped on our own bikes and climbed the Monte Grappa from Seren. That capped a few big days on the bike, including 4 Giro d’Italia stages, so we treated ourselves to a fantastic dinner and gelato in Asolo.

But we’re not done yet! More local rides, and then the Colle della Finestre and the final TT in Milan await!
