Spring ' 08 -Giro d'Italia Trip now being Scheduled
Bella Vita's "il primo giro" is scheduled for May 12th through 26th to coincide with the '08 Giro d'Italia. We will ride out to watch the finish of the Giro's first mountain stage on the brutally steep slopes up to Pescocostanzo on Friday May 16th. After a relatively flat first week, all the big guns will come on fighting on this day. It's also very fun to ride up the final climb, then watch how much faster the "laughing group" goes up it. We may also catch a point-to-point circuit race the previous day. The trip will be based out of my house located in the small mountain town of Roio del Sangro, located in the Abruzzo region of Italy. This region offers a terrific combination of high mountain wilderness and coastal shoreline. There will be plenty of fabulous road riding, hiking, fine food and wine, and history lessons about the region. Other daily excursions will include local medieval castles, tours of local pasta and olive oil factories, ect. Inquire further by contacting me at markstudnicki@gmail.com . Ciao Mark & Kristine

I hear the route is quite challenging this year.
Sweet header picture. I'll be there someday!
In that header picture, the roof-top balcony for my place is right at the bottom of the clock tower. Yes the Giro route this year is a tough one, especially towards the end.
