The mountain passes were a delight. Every bend and twist (and there were hundreds of them) were a chance to learn and test your riding skills. The views were stunning.
From the hills we rode through vineyards and soon discovered why this was perfect vineyard land. One moment it was scorching sun - the next, pouring rain (with impressive forked lightening)
The different smells of the damp land as we passed through were wonderfully intense and I imagine a unique experience to riders (walkers too slow to notice the changes, car drivers too hermetically sealed in)
Today was the ride of a lifetime. Shame it was slightly spoiled by my bike playing up again in the last 45 minutes of the day :-( is she just getting too hot after a hard day?
