Amen. More beers, less typing

'434 saarf . 38s 8.1mi/h'

shit feels nice!

@peter_v, you got 11 2nd's and six 3rds!

like a fucking boss!

haha no boss here, only the trophy shaped things on strava are accomplishments that count, (they're top 10 over all users' placings) the medal icons are just personal bests/2nds/3rds

It's time to move on.

We've just booked our accommodation for 2017. Seems places are filling up fast.

Also just enjoying my first cup of L'eroica coffee from the goody bag. It's a bit shit.

probably ground wrong for your machine? from a 'moka' it's doable

Could be right. I use one of these:

It is very finely ground.

We're you at the Rennais one? I couldn't see any English about there

I was at the Relais Vignale in Radda.

I've stayed there before. It was nice - very nice, but for a top end, spenny place, the breakfast was dreadful - among the worst of any hotel I have ever stayed at.

Also, while I really like Radda, by the end I was getting bored of eating essentially the same food all the time. All the restaurants seem to have the same menu.

For 2017, we've gone for an Air BnB in Gaiolie - will take some jars of curry for when it all gets too much!

Mine was down the hill relais Christina , met some nice people, Belgian and italian

nice vid of the 209km route

@Cycliste and I stayed there last year. Can't remember the breakfasts as being that bad, but I was spectacularly and Biblically hung over on the only day I had breakfast at the hotel, so my memory isn't at its best on that score.

Trying to get approval for l'Eroica 2017. Trouble is, 2017 is already looking a bit crowded. 4.5 weeks cycling booked already, plus three long weekends. And some skiing...
