Loving Italy-insanely good/cheap food and some of the best roads and weather i've ever experienced. Rides just get longer and longer because you can't face turning back towards home... kept it fairly local to Siena so far but if I can get off work (I probably can't...) going to cycle to Florence for the world champs and planning riding the 2011 Strade Bianchi route. Also possible excursion to Sardinia planned...
But fuck me. Turned off a road today not knowing where i was going and was pleasantly surprised by a long climb on crushed white marble roads and switchback after switchback in glorious 28 degree sunshine. One of the most sublime moments of my life. And all before work.
Strade Bianchi motherfuckers! wooooooooo......
