Enough resting. Today we planned a route through the beautiful Piemontese countryside, more or less to Barolo and back. Barolo and a very specific 1800 hectares are the home of the nebbiola grape used to make the Barolo wines of course. The same grape grows elsewhere in this area but it has different character with the soil conditions and each micro climate. We climbed a few hills, made easier without our usual luggage, but we still did not exactly boot up them. We backed away from one planned road and found an alternate once we saw the slope and the 20% grade sign. 10% we can do, 20 no thanks.
Back at the B&B we relaxed in the garden under a large umbrella in the 33° heat. We decided to ride and find a restaurant for dinner, which was easy enough except for the complete lack of wine with the meal. Che pazzo! (that’s crazy)
Oh No! Cyclists!
