Awesome day today - only my second ride here, and man was it tough!! About 75km with 20+ of climbing. There is no way to stress the difference between these climbs and the ones we have in Canada!!! Any how, did the climb with a bunch of people from the town we are staying in, and did part of the climb with Simoni’s older brother before he dropped me (he was riding Simoni’s “Spider Bike” from 2003!!)... Basso is on fire - he is SOOOOO popular here.
