Yep, that's the last time I trust Italian weather forecasts - it was glorious sunshine all day, and boy was I not dressed for that. Still, I finished the 135km, which was surprisingly hard. Those strada blanca really do take it out of you, particularly when they're rutted to hell by all the rainfall. Cycliste is still out there, rocking the 135km course SS, after having put her rear derailleur into her rear wheel 10km in. She said she was going back to the hotel - evidently she had second thoughts!
