Images of 2010

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Before we get too carried away with 2011 preparations, let’s not forget the season that was 2011. On our new Vimeo channel, there is the first of a few videos to come. OK, I’ll admit that I’m neither the world’s best nor most prolific photographer, but I was able to take enough images to put together a nifty little slideshow. I’ve even included the requisite cheesy Italian pop music; Mondo by Cesare Cremonini – the top Italian song on the Italian charts during our time in Italy.

Stay tuned – there’s more video to come including video from la Pinarello!

Pinarello Gran Fondo Trophies

'Presents' lined up for the Gran Fondo Pinarello's fastest riders

And if you’re nice enough, and fast enough, Nonni Pinarello himself might hand you one of these “presents” at the end of la Pinarello (Gran Fondo Pinarello).

View to Rocca

Joy Cadelina, enjoying the view of Rocca on the backside of Monte Grappa

Overlooking the Lago di Corlo is Rocca, on the north side of the Monte Grappa. After a (long) conversation with a bulgarian expat, you can either head over the Col del Gallo or around it via Fastro. Either way, you descend down towards the Fiume Brenta, on the roman road into Primolano, which is old enough to be mentioned in the history of the Peloponnesian War!

Castelli Prologo Long Sleeve Jersey from Podium Look

Having trouble finding a last-minute item for the cyclist who has everything (or at least only wants things with ridiculously massive price-tags)? This is just a friendly reminder that all of our riders are also Podium Look members. Membership has its benefits, and in this case, that means an additional 10% discount from the already-excellent 20%-off everything they stock until December 31st.

If you don’t have your Podium Look membership info handy, and rode with us in 2010 or have your deposit in for 2011, email Jason and he’ll get you squared away. Happy Shopping!

Prosecco Tour with Ruggeri

Sarah, Giustino, Jamie, and 'Capo' looking out over the Cartizze hills.

Our friends at Ruggeri not only host a Prosecco tasting for us, but also take us out into the vineyards themselves and through their bottling process. If you’re interested, I highly recommend the Cartizze, available in the US!
