Did our first ride in the dolomites today. After arriving in Alleghe from Lago di Garda, we met up with the tour group (about 30 people in all), had some lunch, built up bikes, and took a 30 mile spin around the neighborhood. All in all, climbed about 2500 feet and had a descent that brad would love and roland would hate. the weather so far is holding but it looks like that could change at any minute. we'll see. tomorrow we watch the tour go through and the town we are in is littered with team cars and buses. as we rode through, the townspeople must have thought we were somebody, they all stopped and starred...sorry folks. we came to alleghe via the passo san pelligrino, which we will ride in a few days. it's scary. scary as hell. think about logie trail x 10, tight switchbacks, 18%, and it doesn't stop... the big problem is that we apparently do about 6 climbs tougher. can't be possible.
can't begin to describe this area. we're on a little lake with the marmalado formation looming overhead. it is shear rock faces jutting up thousands of feet over where we are. snow covered and magnificant, keep thinking it can't get any better...and it does.

Any chance you can add some pictures to this blog?? Just wondering??
B-rid (iculous): any chance you could stop sweating coach about freaking pictures!?? Can't you take his words, infuse your imagination and come up with something cool? Images, images, images! we live in a world full of images -- go inside dude! Check out what exists inside the mind ... close your eyes ... breath deep ... fuck, drop some LSD if you need to ... just step away from the stimuli bombardment that is everyday US living ... and go inside man. it may not be as scary as you think. then again ... it may be even scarier.
DUDE I'm from Kentucky...if it ain't got horns or Hoofs I have to see it...remember we are not all as well travled as the Wonderful Car FAG no....
