Sunday, May 19: 1st Day of Riding – Part 2

After we were back at the hotel for about 90 minutes, the sun started to shine.  Most of the crowd had enough after the rain this morning.  They said they were not interested in going back out again today.  However, 3 of us (Todd, Marc, and I) said we were going back out.  I know this will come as a shock to all of you that I would be willing to go back out and get in some more riding!

We headed back toward Bolzano and then saw a few roads that looked go and just started driving.  We got some great views of the mountains.  One of the great things about riding here is that there are so many good roads, you just pick one and go.  Unfortunately, I forgot my camera back in the room.  I am sure there will be many more opportunities for great shots. 

 

Marc had to stop for gas; it was an eye opening experience.  After figuring out how to use the gas pump (it was unattended), he found out how little fuel €10 goes buys.  The €10 which is about $15, got him 4.9 liters which is less than a 1.5 gallons of gas!

Now we are back at the hotel and waiting for dinner at 7:30.  Hopefully we get a full day of sunshine riding in tomorrow!
