Today was pretty mellow for all. Rob who is now nursing a broken collarbone from a wipe out in a hot turn on yesterdays decent, put the group in slow motion too.
This mornings breakfast started later for everyone. Guy and I were first to motor out the door as we jumped on our bikes at 11am to track down the bike store. Reaching the store after 12pm, it was closed until 3pm, like all stores in italia.
Guy headed for Verona and I rode for the hills solo. I rode for 2.5 hours and took in about 50K winding through the vineyards just north of our villa. The soft almost tuscan hues were warming to my sole. After climbing for an hour, my bum was notably sore so I headed back.
Upon my return, Todd and I went for a canoe ride on the acqueduct then a spin into town for fromagi and Todd grabbed some gelato. I lead him out for the sprint to the two town signs.
At 5pm the winemaker gave us a tour of his wines, we did kartwheels on the lawn and had a picnic of group gathered foods! Great time!
Tomorrow we seek a mountain pass before the expected storm front moves in.
