He finally gave me a clap across my shoulder and said "You Mad, mad mad ma, go go" and on that note I was off down this icy road once again with a massive grin on my face!! I suppose I cannot disagree with what he was saying. True, you got to be mad riding a bike up here during this time of year and especially in these ...

Starting the dolomite way
... looked like they were taken from the sound of music. Wait, are we still in Italy?? Finally, we arrived at our next destination - Suisse allo schilar.
