Riding in Italy

Post by matteo »

Hi everyone!
Here it's very unusual to find more than two cyclists riding together. When you ask about cycling, anybody would tell you that climbing is the only way of riding, and it must be steep!
I have found kind of cycling club, but they ride together only once a week, and it doesn't seem very well organized. I'll join them for a ride this weekend, it may be fine.
So far I wasn't able to get more then two friends riding together.
Also, I got a new bike!

Yeah, I suppose if you can't find a good 80's lugged steel Miyata frame, you have to make do with a carbon Pinarello... :lol: I think the Pinarello is what carbon construction was made for.

Great to hear from you Matteo, and I love the photos! When's the TS training camp there again?

Hi Matteo,

Great to hear from you! Beautiful bike, well done. If you are missing us, I'm sure we could all do with a week in the Italian Alps with a helpful translator.

Thanks for the pictures.
