What's that? What the heck IS that?
To welcome the first day of summer 2010 in the Lake Como area, Mother Nature decided to provide clear, blue, cloudless (almost) skies. For the first time in a week and a half we did not have a single weather issue. No rain. No winds. No fog. Just clear, blue, beautiful sunshine.
So we rode.
We crossed over to Varenna via ferry from Bellaggio and put in about 65 miles through a dozen small towns. It was fabulous. Lot's of vertical (though maybe a couple too many tunnels, but you can't really get away from them). The route provided by Carlo at Il Perlo Panorama was terrific--kept us away from too many cars.
And my legs are still feeling like them old selves.
After a long day, we ate dinner at Il Perlo and, in honor of Maggie Champion, we had gnocchi for the very first time (with ragu sauce). I thought it was terrific. Linda liked the spaghetti last night better.
