Today we separate for the day and I take to the hills behind Bellagio….I am surprised by the 14% road up to the Maddonaa del Ghisello and the nearby cycling Musee/ Both prove to be worth every minute of an hours hard climb. The musee has everything Coppis wooden wheels and bartoli’s smiling face in bronze.. The church was really strange with bicycles in the ceiling and the maddonna feeding the baby jesus with a bidon hahahaa…
I meet aussies and discuss Pantani’s hill climbing. There is his bike and smile everyone is illustrated so debonair….then back down with squeaky brakes…..
Off by ferry to Varrenna with 100 well dressed americans as part of the wedding party. Rode another ten k to the torre at the top of the Varrenna hilltop complete with falcons and an owls. The tower was well represented with stones in the wall for steps…
